Description :
First step of waste management system is mainly the separation of biodegradable and nonbiodegradable
waste. It has to be done before recycling, reuse and waste disposal. Hence,
separation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste becomes important task. It
should not only be done correctly but also quickly. But, as it is done manually. It is quite
time consuming and inefficient sometimes. This paper aims at replacing manual methods of
separation of waste with the modern computer vision based technology. Computer vision
systems are widely used now a day for various object detection and object tracking
methods. One of the methods for separation of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste
is discussed in this paper. This method uses color as parameter for separation for specific
non-biodegradable objects from biodegradable objects. It is applied on the image containing
biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste. Image results are shown and discussed.
