A framework for segregating solid waste by employing the technique of image annotation

The way to proficient waste management is to guarantee appropriate segregation of waste to ensure its proper reuse. The objective of this paper is to identify types of wastes generated in India, the nature of waste coming out from different cities, the current disposal method being employed there, amount of waste that gets dumped at landfill. These statistics are useful for identifying efficient methods to segregate waste to enhance the efficiency of reusing and recycling process. The paper may justify the reason behind expanding number of landfills in India. Valuable insights can be obtained after classifying waste into biodegradable/ non-biodegradable classes, and its suitability for disposal or not. They can help in choosing proper disposal techniques for different categories of waste.
