Densenet Architecture Implementation for Organic and Non-Organic Waste

Abstract

Garbage is the result left over from the process of daily human activities and activities which are considered no longer suitable for use, ranging from household waste to large-scale industrial waste. Therefore, the classification of waste is important because the problem of waste disposal is increasing and the way of processing is wrong. This research focuses on the classification of organic and non-organic waste using the DenseNet architecture. The dataset is processed first and each image in the dataset is resized to 128x128 pixels before being used in the model. We then trained all DenseNet types namely DenseNet121, DenseNet169, DenseNet 201, and compared their performance. Based on the test results, all DenseNet models that were trained were able to produce good accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 scores in garbage classification. In particular, our designed DenseNet121 model achieves 93.1 accuracy, 94.08% precision, 94.00% recall, 94.03% F1 score and 1min 34s training time as the best among other models. These results prove that the DenseNet architecture can be used to classify organic and non-organic waste correctly.
