Description

Technical Field

[0002] Traditional manual sorting methods are inefficient, inaccurate in classification, and have high pollution risks, making it difficult to meet the automation, precision, and efficiency requirements of modern waste disposal.

[0003] While existing automated sorting systems have improved waste sorting efficiency to a certain extent, they still face numerous technical challenges. For example, many systems rely solely on a single sensor (such as an RGB camera) or simple rules for classification, resulting in insufficient accuracy in identifying complex waste components and making it difficult to accurately sort waste of various materials. Furthermore, due to the wide variety of waste types, shapes, and sizes, as well as the presence of contaminants on the surfaces of some waste, existing detection algorithms and equipment lack stability and adaptability, making it difficult to cope with complex and changing sorting scenarios. Furthermore, there is a lack of efficient optimization solutions for acquiring location information for waste items and for the coordinated control of sorting lines, and the collaborative efficiency of robotic arm sorting equipment urgently needs to be improved.

When the processor executes the computer program, it specifically performs the steps of the automatic sorting method for recycling and reused resources combined with intelligent identification as described above.

[0100] A computer storage medium stores a plurality of instructions, wherein the instructions are suitable for being loaded by a processor and executing the steps in the above-mentioned automatic sorting method for recycling and reuse resources combined with intelligent identification.

[0101] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0102] 1. This method uses RGB images, infrared sensors, and a spectrum analyzer to gradually extract features of garbage surface color, texture, temperature, material reflectivity, and spectral characteristics. It then fuses these features using a hybrid strategy involving normalization, weighting, and dimensionality reduction. This ultimately forms a compact feature vector that can be used for subsequent classification and analysis.

[0103] 2. Based on multimodal fusion features, this invention constructs a deep learning coarse classification model to quickly classify garbage into four categories: plastic, glass, metal, and paper. At the same time, it combines target detection algorithms to detect the location of individual items, achieving simultaneous processing of garbage classification and positioning, reducing operational complexity and providing accurate information for subsequent robotic arm operations.

[0104] 3. This invention divides the sorting task into two parts: coarse sorting (classification by broad category) and fine sorting (classification by subcategory), effectively improving sorting efficiency and accuracy. The coarse sorting line quickly completes the broad classification of waste (plastic, glass, metal, paper), reducing the complexity of fine-grained processing. The fine-grained sorting line further refines the processing and improves resource reuse. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
