Maintaining the well-being of individuals is greatly influenced by a healthy lifestyle and balanced diet. The identification and segmentation of food items can be improved by utilizing a mobile-based system in this era of rapid lifestyle changes and technology. This article introduces a novel system that, upon receiving input images, detects and segmentation the food items within the images. The system utilizes deep learning techniques and models, employing the YOLO algorithm. By incorporating regression-based simple methods, the system achieves the capability to detect and categorize food items in a single pass through the network, aiming to enhance accuracy and speed in the detection process. YOLOv7 was employed for food detection and YOLOv5, YOLOv7, and YOLOv8 was utilized for image segmentation. Based on the results, the accuracy, recall, and average precision values for YOLOv7 were 0.844, 0.924, and 0.932, respectively. Furthermore, the instance segmentation performance of YOLOv7 outperformed YOLOv5 and YOLOv8, with precision, recall, and mean average precision values of 0.959, 0.943, and 0.906, respectively. These findings underscore the high accuracy in detecting Iranian foods and the remarkable speed and precision in food image segmentation attainable through advanced deep-learning algorithms. Consequently, this study establishes that accurate detection of Iranian foods can be accomplished through the utilization of sophisticated deep-learning techniques. This research focuses on promoting a healthy lifestyle through intelligent technology and novel deep learning algorithms in Iran.
