HYBRID APPROACH OF GARBAGE CLASSIFICATION USING COMPUTER VISION AND DEEP LEARNING

Abstract

As waste segregation becomes an important issue in our lives, with the use of technology like deep neural networks and computer vision, we can make the process efficient and robust by image segmentation and classification. These systems on the rise need accurate and efficient segmentation and recognition mechanisms and this demand coincides with the increase of computational capabilities of modern computer architectures and more effective algorithms for image recognition. This paper does a comparative analysis of various different approaches and methods like Simple CNN, ResNet50, VGG16, etc in brief. The comparative analysis and study explains the performance of every approach, this paper concludes that ResNet50 gives excellent performance. VGG16 network also provides good performance which meets the needs of daily use.
