A rapid rise in inhabitants across the globe has led to the inadmissible management of waste in various countries, giving rise to various health issues and environmental pollution. The waste-collecting trucks collect waste just once or twice in seven days. Due to improper waste collection practices, the waste in the dustbin is spread on the streets. Thus, to defeat this situation, an efficient solution for smart and effective waste management using machine learning (ML) and the Internet of Things (IoT) is proposed in this paper. In the proposed solution, the authors have used an Arduino UNO microcontroller, ultrasonic sensor, and moisture sensor. Using image processing, one can measure the waste index of a particular dumping ground. A hardware prototype is also developed for the proposed framework. Thus, the presented solution for the efficient management of waste accomplishes the aim of establishing clean and pollution-free cities.
Food safety refers to preparing, transporting, and storing food to avoid foodborne sickness and harm. From farm to factory and factory to fork, food items may meet various health dangers. Therefore, food safety is crucial both monetarily and morally. The implications of failing to comply with food safety requirements are varied. The requirement for accurate, quick, and nonpartisan quality assessments of these features in food products continues to rise with increased demands for dietary materials and high-quality requirements. Computer vision provides an automatic, nondestructive, and economic approach to achieving these aims. A substantial research has demonstrated its effectiveness for fruit and vegetable assessment and classification. It stresses the critical components of image processing technology and a survey of the most current advances across the food sector. This article outlines the essential parts of a computer vision system. In order to avoid foodborne disease and ensure food security, fast and effective detection of pathogenic microorganisms is crucial for public safety biomonitoring. Over the years, microorganism detection techniques have evolved.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
