Improved Performance of Trash Detection and Human Target Detection Systems using Robot Operating System (ROS)

Abstract

In a visual-based real detection system using computer vision, the most important thing that must be considered is the computation time. In general, a detection system has a heavy algorithm that puts a strain on the performance of a computer system, especially if the computer has to handle two or more different detection processes. This paper presents an effort to improve the performance of the trash detection system and the target partner detection system of a trash bin robot with social interaction capabilities. The trash detection system uses a combination of the Haar Cascade algorithm, Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) and Gray-Level Coocurrence Matrix (GLCM). Meanwhile, the target partner detection system uses a combination of Depth and Histogram of Oriented Gradient (HOG) algorithms. Robotic Operating System (ROS) is used to make each system in separate modules which aim to utilize all available computer system resources while reducing computation time. As a result, the performance obtained by using the ROS platform is a trash detection system capable of running at a speed of 7.003 fps. Meanwhile, the human target detection system is capable of running at a speed of 8,515 fps. In line with the increase in fps, the accuracy also increases to 77%, precision increases to 87,80%, recall increases to 82,75%, and F1-score increases to 85,20% in trash detection, and the human target detection system has also improved accuracy to 81%, %, precision increases to 91,46%, recall increases to 86,20%, and F1-score increases to 88,42%.

An Autonomous System to Enhance Urban Cleanliness by Identifying and Collecting Trash using AI and Machine Learning

“…Furthermore, ensuring the cars' safe navigation through city landscapes poses a crucial technical challenge. The project envisions overcoming this by implementing 3D mapping of cities or employing multiple cameras to detect and evade obstacles, thus enhancing the overall reliability and safety of the system [10].…”

Design of IoT-based System for Smart Temporary Waste Shelter

“…In 2020, there was a study on the Design of a Waste Height Monitoring System Using an Arduino Microcontroller and Web-Based Applications [7] by sending the results of height monitoring to the server with an Arduino integrated with Wemos D1 Mini Wi-Fi module. In 2021, there was a study on Improved Performance of Trash Detection and Human Target Detection Systems Using Robot Operating System [8].…”
