This invention describes a system that uses a camera to look at a mix of different materials. It captures visual information about each item, then a computer system with machine learning analyzes these visual characteristics to identify and sort them into specific categories. The system is specifically designed to use a camera for visual identification.
Why it matters: Since 2021, advancements in computer vision and machine learning models have made visual classification systems significantly more robust and easier to implement. The cost of training and deploying such systems has also decreased.
