Waste Segregation using Convolutional Neural Network

Looking at the population increase in India, waste generation and segregation is a major issue in the current scenario.Tonnes of mixed waste is dumped without segregating it properly which leads to problem in decomposition.Due to this mixed waste several other problems arise over a period of time.To avoid this, waste segregation at least at the basic level is very much needed.We have implemented a system based on Convolutional Neural Networks.The basic idea is that when the waste is to be dumped in the garbage bin, the system will identify the type of waste and will open the dustbin of that category accordingly.Using this system, it becomes easier the segregate waste at the basic level.We have four categories in which waste will be segregated namely, glass, paper, plastic, metal.Four distinct dustbins along with servo motors will be used for the same.
