Inspiration
We read the description of the Accenture GREEN Hack and we got inspired to do this idea!
What it does
It sees if an item has been added to the bin and, when it does, it looks at the item and determines if it's a recyclable item (we only had the time to train the model to recognize a juice box) or something else.
How we built it
With OpenCV we can get access to the webcam of the computer and every x number of frames, we analyse the frame to detect if there's an object. If it does, we send the frame to the model for prediction.
Challenges we ran into
Dependencies....
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We're proud to have used Tensorflow and made it work
What we learned
We learned how to use OpenCV and Tensorflow
What's next for SmartBin
we could go further and make the model recognize more recycable objects
