Waste Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Smart Recycling Solutions: The "Waste" model could be integrated into smart recycling bins to automatically separate waste into categories like Plastic, Metal, Wet, Cardboard, Wood, Glass, etc., ensuring efficient and accurate sorting of recyclable materials.

2. Household Waste Management Systems: The model can be employed in automated household waste management systems to identify and categorize waste, facilitating recycling and composting processes.

3. Waste Treatment Facilities: The model can be used in waste treatment facilities to streamline the sorting process of different types of waste, increasing their ability to recycle and reduce landfill space.

4. Educational Tools for Waste Management: This model can be useful to build an augmented reality application for educating people, especially children, about waste classification. The application could help identify items in real time and indicate what type of waste they are.

5. Innovations in Waste Monitoring: The model can power drone-based solutions for monitoring illegal waste disposal in large areas like forests or beaches. By identifying what the waste consists of, authorities can better understand the sources and enact policies to reduce waste dumped in these areas.
