Recycling Bin

Research on recycling bins is rapidly evolving, focusing on automating waste sorting and management through computer vision and machine learning. Current efforts utilize models like YOLOv5, enhanced with post-processing techniques, to achieve high-accuracy object detection and classification of waste materials, even in challenging conditions like underwater environments or cluttered bins. These advancements aim to improve waste management efficiency, reduce manual labor, and promote environmentally friendly practices, with applications ranging from smart bins in urban settings to automated systems for insect-based waste processing.
