Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to a system and method for monitoring and quality evaluation of perishable food items in quantitative terms. Current technology provides limited capability for controlling environmental conditions surrounding the food items in real-time or any quantitative measurement for the degree of freshness of the perishable food items. The disclosed systems and methods facilitate in quantitative determination of freshness of food items by utilizing sensor data and visual data obtained by monitoring the food item. In an embodiment, the system utilizes a pre-trained CNN model and a RNN model, where the pertained CNN model is further fine-tined while training the RNN model to provide robust quality monitoring of the food items. In another embodiment, a rate kinetic based model is utilized for determining reaction rate order of the food item at a particular post-harvest stage of the food item so as to determine the remaining shelf life thereof.
