Abstract: A system and process for trash-can management. The process uses digital images to extract trash-cans from the images and a classifier to determine the trash-cans state. The process can include responses to trash-cans that need servicing. A neural network machine learning algorithm is used to identify trash-cans in the image. Neural networks classifiers are used to classify the state of the identified a trash-cans. The neural networks are trained with images containing trash-cans and the surrounding area that have trash and do not have trash to determine a binary state. Trash-cans identified with a low-confidence level can be used to retrain the neural networks. The process can include the management of the trash-can by generating report, maps, notifications, collection routes, or assigning workers.
