Abstract: Computer vision methods have shown to be effective in classifying garbage into recycling categories for waste processing, existing methods are costly, imprecise, and unclear. To tackle this issue, we introduce MWaste, a mobile application that uses computer vision and deep learning techniques to classify waste materials as trash, plastic, paper, metal, glass or cardboard. Its effectiveness was tested on various neural network architectures and real-world images, achieving an average precision of 92\% on the test set. This app can help combat climate change by enabling efficient waste processing and reducing the generation of greenhouse gases caused by incorrect waste disposal.

Unsupervised Restoration of Weather-affected Images using Deep Gaussian Process-based CycleGAN [92.15895515035795]
We describe an approach for supervising deep networks that are based on CycleGAN. We introduce new losses for training CycleGAN that lead to more effective training, resulting in high-quality reconstructions. We demonstrate that the proposed method can be effectively applied to different restoration tasks like de-raining, de-hazing and de-snowing.

Classification of PS and ABS Black Plastics for WEEE Recycling Applications [63.942632088208505]
This work is aimed at creating a system that can classify different types of plastics by using picture analysis, in particular, black plastics of the type Polystyrene (PS) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) A Convolutional Neural Network has been tested and retrained, obtaining a validation accuracy of 95%. Using a separate test set, average accuracy goes down to 86.6%, but a further look at the results shows that the ABS type is correctly classified 100% of the time, so it is the PS type that accumulates all the errors.
