About TACO: Trash Annotations in Context Dataset Dataset

TACO: Trash Annotations in Context Dataset

From: Pedro F. Proença; Pedro Simões

TACO is a growing image dataset of trash in the wild. It contains segmented images of litter taken under diverse environments: woods, roads and beaches. These images are manually labeled according to an hierarchical taxonomy to train and evaluate object detection algorithms. Annotations are provided in a similar format to COCO dataset.

Use Free Cigarette, Battery and Shoe Detection API

Powered by general detection model

Code
pip install inference-sdk
# 1. Import the library
from inference_sdk import InferenceHTTPClient

# 2. Connect to your workspace
client = InferenceHTTPClient(
  api_url="https://serverless.roboflow.com",
  api_key="API_KEY"
)

# 3. Run your workflow on an image
result = client.run_workflow(
  workspace_name="<YOUR_WORKSPACE>",
  workflow_id="<YOUR_WORKFLOW_ID>",
  images={
    "image": "YOUR_IMAGE.jpg"  # Path to your image file
  },
  parameters={
    "classes": "Cigarette, Battery, Shoe, Glass bottle, Paper cup"
  },
  use_cache=True  # cache workflow definition for 15 minutes
)

# 4. Get your results
print(result)
