Abstract: A system and method for detecting hazardous items in a recycling facility, including: receiving, from a first non-visible spectrum image capturing device, a first non-visible spectrum image of items on a conveyor belt. The system and method may include providing, to an AI module, the first non-visible spectrum image of the items on the conveyor belt, where the AI module includes functionality to identify features of the items captured in the first non-visible spectrum image; compare the identified features of the items on the conveyor belt to features of hazardous items of the AI module; and identify a hazardous item in the first non-visible spectrum image based on a similarity between the identified features to the features of hazardous items of the AI module. The system and method may include providing, in response to identifying the hazardous item, an indication of the presence of the hazardous item.
