TrashNet-Classification

This project focuses on classifying images of garbage into distinct categories using transfer learning with the MobileNetV2 architecture. The goal is to facilitate efficient waste segregation by accurately identifying types of trash, which is essential for effective recycling and waste management.

Overview

The TrashNet-Classification project utilizes transfer learning with MobileNetV2 to classify images of garbage into categories such as cardboard, glass, paper, metal, and trash. By leveraging a pre-trained model, the project aims to achieve high accuracy with reduced training time and computational resources.

Project Structure

• dataset/: Directory containing the data set used in model training.
• model/: Directory containing the trained model.
• 01_Preprocessing-Data.ipynb: Notebook for data preprocessing, including dataset download, extraction, and data augmentation.
• 02_Train-Model.ipynb: Notebook for training the MobileNetV2 model with the preprocessed data.
• 03_Quantization_model.ipynb: Notebook for model quantization to optimize performance.
• requirements.txt: List of Python dependencies required to run this project.

Requirements

Ensure you have Python 3.x installed and install the dependencies listed in requirements.txt:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

• Data Preprocessing: Run the 01_Preprocessing-Data.ipynb notebook to download and prepare the dataset. This notebook performs data augmentation to enhance model performance.
• Model Training: Once the data is prepared, execute 02_Train-Model.ipynb to train the MobileNetV2 model with the processed data. This notebook includes steps for training and evaluating the model.
• Model Quantization: To optimize the model, run 03_Quantization_model.ipynb. This step is optional but recommended for improving model efficiency.

Dataset

The dataset used is TrashNet, which consists of images of trash in six categories: cardboard, glass, metal, paper, plastic, and trash. This dataset is widely used in research for deep learning-based trash classification.
