Robotoff is a service managing potential Open Food Facts updates (also known as insights) and predictions (which can then be combined to generate an insight). These insights include a growing set of facts, including:
- the product category, weight, brand, packager codes and expiration date
- some of its labels
- abusive pictures (selfies)
- rotated pictures
- ingredient spellchecking
Robotoff provides an API to:
- Fetch insights
- Annotate an insight (accept or reject)
Once generated, the insights can be applied automatically, or after a manual validation if necessary. A scheduler regularly marks insights for automatic annotation and sends the update to Open Food Facts.
Robotoff works together with Product Opener, the Core server of Open Food Facts (in Perl, which can also be installed locally using Docker) and the Open Food Facts apps (which can work with your local instance after enabling dev mode)
