Managed to figure out how to get a Computer Vision Model Working on my computer
after ages of searching for pretrained models that are fast, free and can detect a large number of classes. I found a YouTube video explaining Grounding Dino. I think it might be the savior of all of computer vision or at least my project, i managed to install the hugging face version of it to be able to analyze images of fridges and list out all items currently in it. Had to find a list of foods which I found on USDA as there common grocery foods. Around 900 of the most common foods, I tried using AI models, such as qwen or gemini, but they took way to long and burned through tokens.
Right now Grounding Dino is not able to handle 900 inputs so I will have to figure out how to batch the classes.
