Usage

Download Dataset

from huggingface_hub import snapshot_download

# Download entire dataset
dataset_path = snapshot_download(
    repo_id="SohlHealth/sohl-multidish-yolo-dataset",
    repo_type="dataset"
)

Train YOLOv8

from ultralytics import YOLO

# Load model and train
model = YOLO('yolov8s.pt')
results = model.train(
    data='dataset.yaml',
    epochs=100,
    batch=8,
    imgsz=640
)

Key Features

• ✅ Multi-dish detection: 2-6 items per plate
• ✅ Indian cuisine focus: Traditional dishes and combinations
• ✅ Real-world scenarios: Restaurant and home environments
• ✅ Complex layouts: Overlapping items, various plate styles
• ✅ High-quality annotations: Precise bounding boxes
• ✅ Comprehensive classes: 16 food categories including regional specialties

Performance Expectations

Based on similar datasets and architectures:

• Expected [email protected]: 15-25% (multi-dish detection is challenging)
• Training time: 3-6 hours on modern GPU
• Recommended epochs: 100-150
• Best practices: Transfer learning from food detection models
