Abstract

Garbage detection and disposal have become one of the major hassles in urban planning. Due to population influx in urban areas, the rate of garbage generation has increased exponentially along with garbage diversity. In this paper, we propose a hardware solution for garbage segregation at the base level based on deep learning architecture. The proposed deep-learning-based hardware solution SmartBin can segregate the garbage into biodegradable and non-biodegradable using Image classification through a Convolutional Neural Network System Architecture using a Real-time embedded system. Garbage detection via image classification aims for quick and efficient categorization of garbage present in the bin. However, this is an arduous task as garbage can be of any dimension, object, color, texture, unlike object detection of a particular entity where images of objects of that entity do share some similar characteristics and traits. The objective of this work is to compare the performance of various pre-trained Convolution Neural Network namely AlexNet, ResNet, VGG-16, and InceptionNet for garbage classification and test their working along with hardware components (PiCam, raspberry pi, infrared sensors, etc.) used for garbage detection in the bin. The InceptionNet Neural Network showed the best performance measure for the proposed model with an accuracy of 98.15% and a loss of 0.10 for the training set while it was 96.23% and 0.13 for the validation set.

Highlights

  • Waste management in urban areas is an essential aspect of urban governance

  • One is feature detectors/descriptors, which uses a vector of locally aggregated descriptors and Convulational Neural Network (CNN) using You Only Look Once (YOLO), which gave an accuracy of 90%

  • Garbage detection and disposal are some of the significant issues faced by India today

Summary

Introduction

Waste management in urban areas is an essential aspect of urban governance. Efficient waste management is exceedingly essential to society. A massive amount of potential lies in the domain of waste management techniques and improving them. The number ‘16’ stands for the number of layers in the network This network utilizes 3 × 3 convolution of stride one layers stacked up, followed by max-pool layers of 2 × 2 of stride 2. This sub-structure is consistent throughout the net-. Work, followed by two fully-connected layers (each having 4096 nodes) and a softmax layer for classifying the output.
