Project Title : VITAMIN DEFICIENCY DETECTION
From : 20-06-2025 To: 28-06-2025
Details of work done
1. Data Splitting: To prepare a reliable vitamin deficiency detection model, the
dataset was divided into three subsets: 70% for training, 20% for validation, and
10% for testing. This approach ensures that the model has sufficient data to
learn meaningful patterns while also providing separate datasets to fine-tune
and evaluate performance. The validation set helps in adjusting
hyperparameters and monitoring for overfitting during training, while the test
set, which remains completely unseen during the development process, serves
as a final benchmark to assess how well the model generalizes to new, real-
world data.
Vision : To transform young graduates into skilled computer professionals to meet industrial and societal needs.
Mission: To enhance the Teaching learning process to meet quality education in the field of computer applications.
To impart the knowledge in current technologies to meet the industrial needs.
To inculcate ethical values and leadership qualities for the betterment of society.
2. Model Selection: For this project, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)-
based architecture was chosen due to its proven effectiveness in image-based
classification tasks, especially within the medical domain. Specifically, pretrained
models such as ResNet50 or EfficientNet were selected for their balance of high
accuracy and computational efficiency. By using transfer learning, these models
were fine-tuned on a dataset containing labeled images that exhibit visual
symptoms of various vitamin deficiencies, such as discoloration of the skin,
abnormalities on the tongue, or changes around the eyes and nails. This approach
enables early and non-invasive detection of deficiencies like Vitamin B12,
Vitamin D, and iron, making the model a valuable tool for digital health screening
applications.
