Abstract
A method for waste management, including recording an image of content within a waste container; extracting a set of content parameters from the image; characterizing the content within the waste container based on the set of content parameters; and routing a waste removal vehicle based on the content characterization.
Claims20
A method for waste management, comprising:
- for each of a plurality of waste containers, recording a measurement of content within the respective waste container;
- extracting a content parameter for the respective content from each measurement;
- determining a volume parameter for the respective content from each measurement;
- determining a purity index for a material category for each waste container, based on the respective content parameter;
- selecting a subset of the plurality of waste containers for retrieval based on the respective material purity index and volume parameter;
- and
- routing a waste removal vehicle to retrieve content from the selected subset of waste containers.
4 more elements
A method for waste management, comprising:
- recording an image of content within a waste container at an optical sensor of the waste container, wherein the waste container is configured to contain waste material;
- extracting a set of content parameters from the image at a processor of the container;
- at the processor, calculating a purity index of the content within the waste container based on the set of content parameters;
- and
- at a remote computing system in communication with the processor of the container, receiving the calculated purity index and routing a waste removal vehicle to a location of the waste container based on the calculated purity index exceeding a predetermined purity index threshold.
