Medical Waste Sorting: a computer vision approach for assisted primary sorting
Medical waste, i.e. waste produced during medical activities in hospitals, clinics and laboratories, represents hazardous waste whose management involves special care and high costs. However, this kind of waste contains a significant fraction of highly valued materials that can enter a circular economy process. To this end, in this paper, we propose a computer vision approach for assisting in the primary sorting of medical waste. The feasibility of our approach is demonstrated on a representative dataset we collected and made available to the community, with which we have trained a model that achieves 100\% accuracy, and a new dataset on which the trained model exhibits good generalization.
