What would it take to determine which brand (skittles, m&ms etc) and which sub-brand (tropical / peanut, etc) and how many calories are on the table?
In my head, you would determine the relative color difference of each piece to determine the brand, but I'm not 100% clear on how that kind of ai works.
With better lighting you could probably distinguish between colors of different types of candy, assuming they're different enough. If you can determine the type of candy and know how many calories are in each piece it would be easy to count the calories, of course.
