One-Shot learning based classification for segregation of plastic waste

원문 초록

The problem of segregating recyclable waste is fairly daunting for many countries. This article presents an approach for image based classification of plastic waste using one-shot learning techniques. The proposed approach exploits discriminative features generated via the siamese and triplet loss convolutional neural networks to help differentiate between 5 types of plastic waste based on their resin codes. The approach achieves an accuracy of 99.74% on the WaDaBa Database
