debris Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Waste Management: This model can be used by waste management companies to sort waste during recycling. By identifying the type of debris within the waste, the model can help to differentiate between materials like glass, plastic, paper, metal and wood, leading to more efficient recycling.

2. Environmental Monitoring: It can be used by environmental agencies to monitor the levels of pollution in different environments like parks, beaches or rivers. The model can identify items typically causing pollution like plastic bottles, metal cans, and paper debris, helping them track and address pollution sources effectively.

3. Smart City Planning: City planners can use this model to determine the effectiveness of waste disposal and collection systems. By identifying the type of debris and its concentration in different city areas, planners can adjust garbage collection schedules, improve facilities, or implement public awareness campaigns.

4. Rescue Missions in Disasters: Post-disaster cleanup crews could use the model to identify the makeup of debris fields for targeted clean-up efforts. The ability to quickly identify specific materials such as wood, metal, glass, plastic, etc. can speed up clean-up and recovery times after natural disasters.

5. Marine Life Conservation: Oceanographers and marine conservationists can use this model to identify and classify types of debris in bodies of water for cleanup efforts. By doing so, they can work towards improving the health of marine ecosystems and the broader environmental picture.
