Abstract

With the rapid development of deep learning technology, a variety of network models for classification have been proposed, which is beneficial to the realization of intelligent waste classification. However, there are still some problems with the existing models in waste classification such as low classification accuracy or long running time. Aimed at solving these problems, in this paper, a waste classification method based on a multilayer hybrid convolution neural network (MLH-CNN) is proposed. The network structure of this method is similar to VggNet but simpler, with fewer parameters and a higher classification accuracy. By changing the number of network modules and channels, the performance of the proposed model is improved. Finally, this paper finds the appropriate parameters for waste image classification and chooses the optimal model as the final model. The experimental results show that, compared with some recent works, the proposed method has a simpler network structure and higher waste classification accuracy. A large number of experiments in a TrashNet dataset show that the proposed method achieves a classification accuracy of up to 92.6%, which is 4.18% and 4.6% higher than that of some state-of-the-art methods, and proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.
