Deep Learning Algorithm in Waste Classification using Real-Time Object Detection

Poor waste management can adversely impact the environment, hindering its optimal performance. Implementing advanced item detection methods offers a more innovative solution to waste management challenges. This study explores the use of image processing with YOLO (You Only Look Once) for trash detection. By leveraging deep learning technology, it classifies various types of waste objects. A reliable classification system facilitates faster and more accurate waste segregation. YOLOv5s, known for its fast real-time object detection capabilities, effectively identifies and categorizes different types of waste.
