Abstract

The food service sector continually faces contamination risks, demanding advanced detection solutions. This study introduces the Contamination Sanitization Inspection (CSI) handheld scanner, employing fluorescence imaging and the You Only Look Once (YOLO) architecture for real-time contamination detection. Utilizing a dataset from 11 institutional kitchens and restaurants, the model achieved an 83% mean Average Precision (mAP). Deployed on two edge computing platforms, the CSI scanner exemplifies real-time, on-site contamination detection, offering a substantial stride toward elevating food safety standards and mitigating foodborne illnesses in diverse food service settings.
