Mixed Waste Computer Vision Project

Here are a few use cases for this project:

1. Waste Management and Recycling: The "Mixed Waste" computer vision model can be implemented in waste management facilities to automatically sort waste based on its class, enabling more efficient recycling and reducing manual labor.

2. Smart Cities and IoT Solutions: The model could be integrated into smart garbage bins in urban areas to identify waste types as they are added into the bin. This would provide valuable data to city councils and waste management companies, enabling them to optimize recycling and waste collection routines.

3. Manufacturing and Assembly Lines: In manufacturing plants or assembly lines, the "Mixed Waste" model can be utilized to detect waste products or packaging materials and ensure their proper disposal or repurposing, improving sustainability and reducing waste generation.

4. Hazardous Waste Monitoring: The model could be deployed in industries dealing with hazardous waste (e.g., chemical, pharmaceutical, or nuclear) to ensure proper handling, segregation, and containment of potentially dangerous waste classes, improving workplace safety and regulatory compliance.

5. Environmental Campaigns and Clean-up Drives: NGOs and government bodies working on environmental initiatives can use the "Mixed Waste" model to analyze pictures taken during clean-up drives or waste surveillance, to better understand the categories and quantities of waste in a given area, and to develop targeted clean-up and waste reduction strategies.
