Object Detection Based Management System of Solid Waste Using Artificial Intelligence Techniques

Object detection-based waste management system remains a challenge for Bangladesh because of the inadequate diversity of data. Solid waste management is a grave concern for Bangladesh. By 2025 waste generation per capita will be 0.75 kg/capita/day, and the total amount of waste will reach 21.07 million tons per year. Our proposed deep learning-based waste detection approach is to detect and locate solid waste in real-time images in the context of Bangladesh. One of the main concerns was to train our model with a proper dataset that could detect many items accurately. So we collected our dataset from several open sources, and one-third of the images used in this research are our own collected images, and we fully annotated these data.…
