Summary
This article presents a DIY project for building a smart waste detection system using an ESP32-CAM module and AI image processing. The system is designed to automatically classify waste as biodegradable or non-biodegradable using computer vision, addressing the problem of inefficient manual waste segregation. The article includes a full code implementation, free API details, and step-by-step instructions for building the device.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledWhen biodegradable waste like food waste and leaves gets mixed with non-biodegradable waste like plastic bottles and metal cans, recycling becomes difficult and environmental pollution increases.
Manual waste segregation takes time, requires continuous human effort, and often leads to mistakes.
What if a small device could simply look at the waste and decide whether it is in the biodegradab...
