Abstract
A system can include a camera, a single-stage object detector, and one or more processors. The camera can capture image data that includes a waste receptacle. The single-stage object detector can detect waste receptables. The one or more processors can communicate with a waste-collection vehicle, the camera, and the single-stage object detector. The one or more processors can receive, from the camera, the image data. The one or more processors can provide, as an input, the image data to the single-stage object detector. The one or more processors can identify, based on an output of the single-stage object detector, the waste receptacle.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a camera configured to capture image data that includes a waste receptacle;
- a single-stage object detector configured to detect waste receptables;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with a waste-collection vehicle, the camera, and the single-stage object detector, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from the camera, the image data;
- provide, as an input, the image data to the single-stage object detector;
- and
- identify, based on an output of the single-stage object detector, the waste receptacle.
A waste-collection vehicle, comprising:
- a camera configured to capture image data that includes a waste receptacle;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the camera and a single-stage object detector, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive, from the camera, the image data;
- provide, as an input, the image data to the single-stage object detector;
- and
- identify, based on an output of the single-stage object detector, the waste receptacle.
A system for a waste-collection vehicle, the system comprising:
- one or more processors in communication with a camera of the waste-collection vehicle and a single-stage object detector, the one or more processors configured to:
- receive data captured by the camera;
- provide, as an input, the data to the single-stage object detector;
- and
- identify, based on an output of the single-stage object detector, a waste receptacle.
