Smart Waste Management: Waste Segregation using Machine Learning

Abstract

In the digitized era, the role of smart mechanisms plays a vital role and one among them is the segregation of waste. To make use of proper disposal and waste management techniques, the segregation of wastes is essential. In the existing systems, drones are used for identifying waste using image processing, and deep learning and use GPS, and GSM methods to identify and send locations to the authorities. The enhancement achieved is to analyze and implement waste segregation with the help of image classification and multi-object detection. Waste management may therefore be done more efficiently with an accuracy of 95% with a mean average of 87.4% which in turn helps significantly to reduce labor costs.
