Application of Computer Vision Techniques for Segregation of PlasticWaste based on Resin Identification Code
share
This paper presents methods to identify the plastic waste based on its resin identification code to provide an efficient recycling of post-consumer plastic waste. We propose the design, training and testing of different machine learning techniques to (i) identify a plastic waste that belongs to the known categories of plastic waste when the system is trained and (ii) identify a new plastic waste that do not belong the any known categories of plastic waste while the system is trained. For the first case,we propose the use of one-shot learning techniques using Siamese and Triplet loss networks. Our proposed approach does not require any augmentation to increase the size of the database and achieved a high accuracy of 99.74 of supervised and unsupervised dimensionality reduction techniques and achieved an accuracy of 95
