Startup Idea: Automated Pizza Evaluation Software

Startup idea to develop a computer vision system which will evaluate pizza in terms of its topping placement, roundness, color, pieces size and correctness of toppings. The system could also double as a training resource and tracking system, providing significant cost savings to pizza companies.

I work for a corporate pizza house. We have secret shoppers who are sent to take pictures of pizza and email it to our headquarters, who then evaluate how the pizza looks.

What if a camera system was installed over the cutting table, and software installed on a computer would then look at pizza and decide how well it looked and if was good enough for a high rating?

The requirements would be judged by topping placement, roundness, color, pieces cut into the exact same size. The software could also look if the right toppings seem to be on there, or if a foreign topping was on that pizza.

This could even be viewed later for training purposes, and you could keep track of every single pizza made. This could save the company a lot of money, and would bring up the quality of each pizza served.
