Convolution Transformer Integration Network (CTNet) is proposed, a hybrid architecture that couples a residual CNN branch for local detail mining with a Transformer branch for global dependency modeling and achieves effectiveness in food recognition.
Inspired by human visual perception, where individuals first perceive an object globally and then focus on salient local details, the proposed hybrid CNN-Transformer architecture captures global representations and employs attention maps to refine task-relevant local features.

A multimodal transformer-based framework called ViT-FoodNA that integrates these tasks into one end-to-end framework and uses the self-attention mechanism to learn fine-grained intermodal dependencies, which enhances its resistance to visual ambiguity and missing ingredients in a list.
