AI-Powered Plastic Waste Management: A Incentivized Approach to Sustainable Recycling Using Deep Learning and Computer Vision
An incentivized approach to plastic waste disposal, where users can earn points by capturing images of plastic waste as they dispose of them in the right manner. The system incorporates image analysis, verification and validation to maintain fairness of the reward system. It also allows users to redeem the points for coupons and discounts via an in-app store. A deep learning model analyses the image submitted by the user to ensure it contains plastic waste. Once validated, the system employs perpetual hashing to detect duplicate submissions, preventing fraudulent attempts to gain rewards. Additionally business can participate by offering incentives.
