Abstract
A recycling system and a method based on deep-learning and computer vision technology are disclosed. The system includes a trash sorting device and a trash sorting algorithm. The trash sorting device includes a trash arraying mechanism, trash sensors, a trash transfer mechanism and a controller. The trash arraying mechanism is configured to process trash in a batch manner. The controller drives the trash arraying mechanism according to the signals of trash sensors and controls the sorting gates of the trash sorting mechanism to rotate. The trash sorting algorithm makes use of the images of trash, wherein the images are taken by cameras in different directions. The trash sorting algorithm includes a dynamic object detection algorithm, an image pre-processing algorithm, an identification module and a voting and selecting algorithm. The identification module is based on the convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and may at least identify four kinds of trash.
