In some embodiments, a method can include capturing images of produce. The method can further include generating simulated images of produce based on the images of produce. The method can further include associating each image of produce from the images of produce and each simulated image of produce from the simulated images of produce with a category indicator, an organic type indicator, and a bag type indicator, to generate a training set. The method can further include training a machine leaning model using the training set such that when the machine learning model is executed, the machine learning model receives an image and generates a predicted category indicator of the image, a predicted organic type indicator of the image, and a predicted bag type indicator of the image.
