A Real-Time Garbage Truck Supervision and Data Statistics Method Based on Object Detection

Abstract EN

Garbage classification is difficult to supervise in the stage of collection and transportation.

This paper proposes a computer vision-based method for intelligent supervision and workload statistics of garbage trucks.

In terms of hardware, this paper deploys a camera and an image processing unit with NPU based on the original on-board computing and communication equipment.

In terms of software, this paper uses the YOLOv3-tiny algorithm on the image processing unit to perform real-time target detection on garbage truck work, collects statistics on the color, specifications, and quantity of garbage bins cleaned by the garbage truck, and uploads the results to the server for recording and display.

The proposed method has low deployment and maintenance costs while maintaining excellent accuracy and real-time performance, which makes it have good commercial application value.
