Vision-Language Models for Image-Based Dietary Assessment: A Benchmark of Accuracy, Cost, and Prompt Strategies Across Ten Models

2026-07-29

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Background</h4> Dietary assessment is the cornerstone of clinical management and research studies evaluating diet and health. Traditional methods such as food diaries and 24-hour recalls can be burdensome, prone to recall bias, and difficult to adhere to. Image-based dietary assessment using vision-language models (VLMs) offers a potential solution. <h4>Objective</h4> Our goal was to benchmark state-of-the-a...
