The calorie value of the food items taken by the person in everyday life needs to be monitored to reduce the risk of obesity, heart problems, and diabetes, etc. The calorie estimator in the existing models has reduced accuracy since the calorie value of each food varies with mass. This paper introduces a dietary assessment system based on the proposed Cauchy, Generalized T-Student, and Wavelet kernel based Wu-and-Li Index Fuzzy clustering (CSW-WLIFC) based segmentation and the proposed Whale Levenberg Marquardt Neural Network (WLM-NN) classifier. The proposed CSW-WLIFC based segmentation segments the image based on the existing WLI-FC algorithm. A novel CSW based kernel function is utilized in the segmentation process. Feature vectors such as color, shape, and texture are extracted from the segmented image. The Neural Network is trained with the Whale-Levenberg Marquardt (WLM) model to recognize each food item from the tray image. The proposed calorie estimator calculates the calorie value of each food item. From the simulation results, it is evident that the proposed model has the improved performance than the existing models with the values of 0.999, 0.9643, 0.9627, and 0.0184 for the segmentation accuracy, macro average accuracy, standard accuracy, mean square error, respectively.
