An YOLO model specifically trained to detect waste in images. We collected a custom dataset of waste, classified and annotated it, and trained the model using YOLOv8 on Keras. The model is able to detect the position and class of waste in images. It can separate the following classes of waste:
Plastic
Metal
Paper
Glass
Organic
Wood
Textile
Medical
Electronic
Other
There are actually over 90 classes, but they are grouped into these ones because there is only a small amount (in the 1-2 digits) of samples for each class. The model is able to detect multiple classes in the same image, or acknowledge that there is no waste in the image.
YOLO is used pretrained on the COCO dataset, and then fine-tuned on our dataset. This is until there are enough samples for each class to train the model from scratch.
Contributions are welcome. If you have a dataset of waste, please share it with us. We will annotate it (if it's not already) and train the model on it.
You don't need technical knowledge to contribute. If you can take photos with a phone and make a ZIP of them, you can contribute. If you can draw rectangles around objects with the mouse, you can contribute. If you can drop photos into folders corresponding to their class, you can contribute.
Of course, if you do have technical knowledge, you can help with the model training, testing, and optimisation. You can also improve the training code and better process the dataset.
