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. Keywords: computer-vision, color image processing
