This document describes a waste classification system that uses a convolutional neural network to classify waste items into different categories. The system was developed by a group of students under the guidance of Dr. Divya Kumar. The objective is to effectively segregate waste using image processing and artificial neural networks. The system classifies waste images into 5 categories (metal, organic, container, paper, plastic) with over 98% accuracy. It uses a CNN model with convolutional, pooling and fully connected layers to perform the classification. The model was trained on a manually collected dataset of over 3,300 images.
