Transfer Learning for Instance Segmentation of Waste Bottles using Mask R-CNN Algorithm [PDF]
Intelligent Systems Design and Applications. ISDA 2020, 2022 This paper proposes a methodological approach with a transfer learning scheme for plastic waste bottle detection and instance segmentation using the \textit{mask region proposal convolutional neural network} (Mask R-CNN). Plastic bottles constitute one of the major pollutants posing a serious threat to the environment both in oceans and on land.
