Waste datasets review

List of datasets with any kind of litter, garbage, waste and trash. Created during the detectwaste.ml project

Today, more than 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually. Plastic is everywhere and we constantly use it in our daily life.

The idea of detect waste project is to use Artificial Intelligence to detect plastic waste in the environment. Our solution will be applicable for video and photography. Our goal is to use AI for Good.

Plastic Waste DataBase of Images – WaDaBa

4000 images with detailed description of a plastic type (PET, PP, PE-HD...), object color, deformation level, dirtiness and others. [classification]

The object were put on the research position and next photographed with first and second type of light. There were series carried out of 10 photographs with differ in the angle of the turnover for every object (in the vertical axis). Next the object was damaged to varying degrees: small, medium and large. For each type of destruction have been made 10 photographs. So considering all variants for every object 40 photographs were taken, multiplying it by the number of objects, 4 000 of photographs were created in the database.

GLASSENSE-VISION

Home-supplies classification. It is not strict litter dataset but it gathers over 2000 images with objects well-spareted from background. Covers 7 main categories of (Banknotes, Cereals, Medicines, Cans, Tomato sauces, Water bottle, Deodorant stick) and 136 subcategories.

Glassense-Vision is a set of data we acquired and annotated to the purpose of providing a quantitative and repeatable assessment of the proposed method. The dataset includes 7 different use cases, meaning different object categories, where for each one of them we provide training (reference images used also to build dictionaries) and test images. All images in the dataset are manually annotated. The different use cases (object categories) can be grouped in three main geometrical types:
