Materials detector

Abstract

The present invention discloses a material detector (100) used to identify a waste material irrespective of a state/condition of the waste material. The material detector (100) includes one or more sensors (110), a detection unit (120) and a comparison unit (130). The sensors (110) capture data of an outermost layer of at least one waste material. The detection unit (120) is configured to determine one or more identity parameters of the waste material by analyzing the data. A relationship table (10) of the comparison unit (130) includes a predefined relation between at least two columns of the relationship table (10). The comparison unit (130) determines a classifier of the waste material from the relationship table (10) using the predefined relation that maps the one or more identity parameters of the waste material with other features of the waste material, thereby accurately identifying the waste material.
