Abstract: In some implementations, a target object identification system may train a machine learning model to identify a target object in a volume of solid waste. The target object identification system may receive, from at least one imaging device positioned in a waste processing facility, imaging data associated with a portion of a volume of solid waste. The target object identification system may identify, using the trained machine learning model and based at least in part on the imaging data, the target object, wherein the target object is disposed within the volume of solid waste. The target object identification system may provide, to a separator control assembly that controls a separator, an output associated with the target object, wherein the output is to facilitate removal of the target object from the volume of solid waste.
