Addressing Environmental Sustainability: Detecting Waste Contamination with Cutting-Edge Technology

Abstract

Detecting and dealing with waste contamination is a big problem in things like managing the environment, getting rid of waste, and recycling. Right now, people have to check waste by hand, which takes a lot of time and can sometimes make mistakes. Our idea is to use computers to help with this. We've come up with a way to quickly and accurately find out if waste is contaminated or not, which can make managing waste much better. Here's how it works: First, we clean up pictures of waste to make them clearer. Then, we use fancy computer programs to look at the waste and figure out if there's anything bad in it. These programs use special learning techniques to get good at spotting different kinds of contamination in the waste. We tested our method to see how well it works. It turns out that it's pretty good at finding and dealing with waste contamination, no matter what the environment is like or what kind of waste we're dealing with. By using this method, we can save a lot of time and effort because we don't need people to check waste by hand anymore. Plus, we can keep an eye on waste in real- time, so if there's any contamination, we can deal with it quickly. In the end, our idea is a big step forward in managing waste better and protecting the environment.
