| Title |
EcoTrash – A video system to classify garbage and recycle |
| Supervisor |
Maria Amer |
| Description |
The project is to implement a system of simplifying the process of throwing out garbage and recycle. The idea is to use Video Processing to detect and classify an object placed in the bin. When an item is placed inside, it will go on the mechanical component (conveyer belt or servo) and the analysis process will begin. A camera will capture a video and the system should process the video to determine what item was thrown (garbage or recycle). In addition, there will be a touchscreen running the application to start adding an item. The application will also monitor the bin level to know how full it is. Application can have additional features.
• A rough project breakdown is:
• Hardware Design + Electrical Components; servo, sensors, signal values, etc. including programming and error control.
• OS/Application for garbage control. Touch screen interface. Kernel.
•OS/Application, unit control and system monitoring.
• Video processing to detect objects and classify them.
• Camera integration. Classification of objects.

| Tools |
Touchscreen, camera, sensors (TBD for detecting garbage levels), servo, conveyer belt, computer, raspberry pi or arduino.
