Abstract
To improve the accuracy of front-end recognition in the garbage classification process, the recognition accuracy of the automatic garbage classification system designed based on machine vision is significantly higher than that of the traditional smart garbage can. However, the recognition accuracy rate for irregular garbage is low. To solve such problems, four types of auxiliary sensors are added to the trash can, through the mutual cooperation between the sensors, combined with the results of machine vision recognition for comprehensive judgment, greatly improving the recognition accuracy of irregular trash. It shows the broad application prospects of the research results of this paper in waste classification and environmental protection.
