Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of garbage disposal, and in particular to a garbage classification and identification system based on vision. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the economy, the amount of garbage generated is increasing, and the unreasonable disposal of garbage has caused serious damage to resources and the environment. For example, a large amount of recyclable garbage is not effectively recycled, but mixed with other garbage, resulting in a waste of resources; hazardous waste is not properly handled, which will pollute the soil, water and air and endanger people's health. Therefore, reasonable garbage classification is a key measure to solve resource and environmental problems.

[0003] Manual sorting is the most traditional way of sorting garbage, and it is also the most commonly used method. This method is inefficient. Also, due to the wide variety and different forms of garbage, workers may make mistakes in sorting due to fatigue, lack of knowledge, etc.

[0004] And some methods are to use artificial intelligence, computer vision and other technologies to automatically determine the type of garbage and achieve automatic classification.

[0005] For example, Chinese patent CN215625174U discloses an automated garbage classification and identification system based on machine vision, including a manipulator for moving a clamp, a camera for collecting garbage image information, a clamp for moving the garbage, and a trash can for placing the garbage. The clamp is mounted on the manipulator, and the trash can is arranged on one side of the manipulator. The trash can includes a barrel body and a barrel cover, one side of the barrel cover is hingedly connected to the open side of the upper end of the barrel body by a hinge, and a barrel cover opening and closing mechanism for opening and closing the barrel cover is arranged on the barrel body.

[0006] However, in real life, most communities are only equipped with basic facilities such as classified trash cans and trash compartments. These facilities are set up and labeled according to categories such as recyclables, hazardous waste, wet garbage, and other garbage, which is convenient for residents to classify and place them, but there is still a problem of misclassification, and the existing automatic garbage classification and identification system based on machine vision cannot be applied to the community garbage compartment, where the position and angle of the collection camera are fixed, and it is impossible to obtain comprehensive and clear information on the appearance characteristics of the garbage. For different forms of the same garbage and two forms of similar materials, it is very easy to have incomplete collection and lead to identification and classification errors: Take newspapers as an example. A complete newspaper is easily identified as recyclables for collection, but when the newspaper is crumpled into a ball, it is likely to be mistakenly identified as a stone and identified as other garbage for collection; ceramic fragments and glass fragments are very similar in appearance, both are hard and brittle materials, glass is recyclable garbage, and ceramics are other garbage. In the process of garbage classification and identification, they are easily confused, so there is also a problem of misclassification. Summary of the invention

Obviously, the implementation regulations described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0038] Example 1: Reference Figure 1-Figure 10 As shown: a garbage classification and identification system based on vision, including a collection module, a control module, an execution module, a display module and a carrier module. The collection module is used to take pictures of the garbage put in and collect information, and specifically includes an optical sensor 34, an industrial camera 35 and a near-infrared spectrum sensor 37. The control module uses the JetsonNano development board as the main control unit, and transmits the garbage photos taken by the collection module to the server module. The server module uses the training model to identify and classify the garbage photos, and the results are returned to the control module. The control module controls the execution module to classify the garbage;

[0039] The training model is a residual convolutional neural network model ResNet-50, which is composed of multiple residual network units. Multiple residual network units are directly connected across layers, which allows the neural network to increase the network depth by stacking these residual network units, effectively solving the gradient instability problem and improving the network accuracy. The 50-layer network structure in the residual convolutional neural network model ResNet-50 makes its accuracy and speed higher than other networks, which can well meet the system's needs for the recognition and classification of a large number of junk images;

[0040] The execution module includes a garbage identification and classification mechanism 3 and a garbage bin 4. The garbage identification and classification mechanism 3 includes a slide rail assembly 31, a slide assembly 32, a delivery assembly 33, a viewing angle rotation assembly 36, a reduction motor 38 and a gear 39. The delivery assembly 33 is used to receive and deliver the garbage. The optical sensor 34, the industrial camera 35 and the near-infrared spectrum sensor 37 are all located above the delivery assembly 33 and are installed at intervals below the viewing angle rotation assembly 36. The viewing angle rotation assembly 36 and the gear 39 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the output shaft of the reduction motor 38. The reduction motor 38 is fixedly connected between two adjacent sets of slide assemblies 32. The delivery assembly 33 slides through multiple sets of slide assemblies 32. It is connected between two sets of slide rail assemblies 31 and is used to drive the movement of garbage. The slide rail assembly 31 includes a guide rail 311 and a rack 312. At the same time, the viewing angle rotation assembly 36 drives the optical sensor 34, the industrial camera 35 and the near-infrared spectrum sensor 37 to move in an arc to collect information on the garbage from multiple angles and in multiple ways. The display module is used for human-computer interaction, specifically including a touch display screen 2. The carrier module includes a garbage compartment 1. The garbage identification and classification mechanism 3 is fixedly installed in the middle and upper part of the inner cavity of the garbage compartment 1. A plurality of groups of garbage bins 4 arranged side by side are arranged in the lower part of the inner cavity of the garbage compartment 1 and are located obliquely below the garbage identification and classification mechanism 3. The touch display screen 2 is installed below the feeding port on the outside of the garbage compartment 1.

[0041] In this embodiment, a single or similar garbage is placed on the delivery component 33 through the feeding port outside the garbage compartment 1, and the button in the touch display screen 2 is clicked.

A variety of methods are combined to jointly determine the type of garbage. The Jetson Nano development board as the main control unit in the control module receives the pictures collected by the acquisition module, processes the pictures through the cross-platform computer vision library, and returns the processed pictures to the server module. The server module classifies the pictures through the training model-residual convolutional neural network model ResNet-50 to obtain the classification results, and returns the processed results to the Jetson Nano development board. Nano development board controls the reduction motor 38 and delivery component 33 in the execution module to start working according to the returned result. After the reduction motor 38 is running, its lower output shaft drives the gear 39 to rotate. After the gear 39 engages the rack 312, the three sets of slide seat components 32 obtain power, and then the garbage identification and classification mechanism 3 drives the garbage to move horizontally along the guide rail 311. At the same time, the reduction motor 38 drives the viewing angle rotation component 36 to rotate, thereby driving the optical sensor 34, industrial camera 35 and near-infrared spectrum sensor 37 installed below to rotate. After rotating to a set angle, the optical sensor 34, industrial camera 35 and near-infrared spectrum sensor 37 perform a second collection, realizing multi-angle and multi-mode information collection while transporting garbage, obtaining comprehensive and clear garbage feature information, and improving the accuracy of garbage identification and classification. According to the majority principle, the result with the most identification and classification times in multiple collections is used as the final output result. The control module controls the delivery component 33 to move to the position of the designated garbage bin 4 to deliver garbage, so as to minimize garbage classification errors, and finally display it outward through the touch screen 2 in the display module.

The position of the rack 312 is fixed, so that the gear 39 moves along the teeth of the rack 312 and applies force to the reduction motor 38, so that the three sets of slide seat assemblies 32 obtain power and move horizontally along the inner groove of the guide rail 311, and the upper end output shaft of the reduction motor 38 drives the driving sprocket 366 to rotate on the lower side of the top plate 361 through the extension rod 381, and the chain 365 is transmitted to the lower side of the top plate 361. After the movement, the sprocket ring 363 and the multiple sets of concave wheels 362 on its upper side obtain a rotational force, and the concave wheels 362 are stuck on the edge of the hole of the top plate 361, so that the sprocket ring 363 rotates in the hole of the top plate 361, and drives the optical sensor 34, industrial camera 35 and near-infrared spectrum sensor 37 installed below to rotate. After rotating to a set angle, the optical sensor 34, industrial camera 35 and near-infrared spectrum sensor 37 perform a second collection, and identify and classify the garbage pictures according to the first collection method, and then perform multiple collections;

[0044] A group of reduction motors 38 simultaneously drives the delivery assembly 33 to move and the sprocket ring 363 to rotate, achieving dual purpose with one source, ensuring the synchronous movement of the two, and improving the coordination of the garbage identification and classification mechanism 3.

[0045] Embodiment 3: According to Figure 6-Figure 9As shown, the top plate 361 is fixedly connected to the middle part of the upper side of one group of slide assemblies 32 through a connecting frame 364.

Two groups of roller members 323 are respectively rotatably installed at the two ends of the suspension beam 321 in a vertical posture. Four groups of side wheel members 322 are respectively rotatably installed on both sides of the two ends of the suspension beam 321 in a horizontal posture. One group of roller members 323 is located in the middle position of the two groups of side wheel members 322 at the same end.

[0048] Residents put single or similar garbage on the delivery component 33 through the feeding port outside the garbage compartment 1, and click the button on the touch screen 2. At this time, the optical sensor 34, the industrial camera 35 and the near-infrared spectrum sensor 37 are awakened as the acquisition module, and the garbage on the conveyor belt 334 is first imaged. A variety of methods are combined to jointly determine the type of garbage.
