ABSTRACT
An AI-powered litter monitoring and detection application developed using the Django framework and the
YOLOv5 deep learning model.
The system facilitates real-time detection of plastic waste and other litter types using image and video processing.
Users can register and log in securely to access features such as image and video uploads and live video streaming
for real-time detection.
The uploaded media files undergo preprocessing before being passed through a YOLOv5-based model trained to
classify different types of litter And sending the email with detected location and detected image
The system then presents the detected litter type to the user, helping in automated waste identification.
INTRODUCTION
Waste management is a critical global issue, with improper litter disposal contributing to environmental pollution
and health hazards.
Traditional waste monitoring methods rely on manual efforts, which are inefficient and labor-intensive.
AI-driven solutions, such as litter detection using deep learning, offer an automated approach to identifying and
classifying litter, thereby improving waste management processes.
The Smart Litter system is designed to automate litter detection by utilizing computer vision techniques.
Built using Django as the backend framework, the system enables users to upload images, videos, or stream live
video for real-time litter detection.
The core detection model is based on YOLOv5, a state-of-the-art object detection framework known for its high
accuracy and speed.

EXISTING SYSTEM
Conventional waste detection methods rely on manual observation, sensor-based detection, and rule-based
classification approaches. These methods often involve significant human intervention and are not scalable for
large-scale deployment.
Manual waste identification is time-consuming and error-prone.
Sensor-based systems lack accuracy in differentiating between litter types.
Limited scalability and high maintenance costs.

Rule-based classification
PROPOSED SYSTEM
The proposed Smart Litter-CAM system integrates AI-driven litter detection with Django’s web-based
capabilities to offer an automated, scalable, and real-time waste classification solution.
Using YOLOv5, the system processes images, videos, and live streams to detect and classify different types
of litter accurately.

Algorithms/Techniques
1.Object Detection with YOLOv5:
YOLOv5 is a deep learning model that excels at real-time object detection.
It identifies and locates litter within images/videos by predicting bounding boxes and class probilites.
2. Image Preprocessing:
Images are preprocessed to enhance features and improve model accuracy.
Techniques include resizing, normalization, and potentially noise reduction or color correction.
3.Transfer Learning:
A pre-trained YOLOv5 model is fine-tuned on a labeled litter dataset.
This leverages existing knowledge to speed up training and improve performance.
.
4.Real-time Processing:
The system processes video frames or live streams in real-time to detect litter as it appears.
This enables immediate identification and response to waste accumulation
5.Litter Classification:
The trained model classifies detected litter into specific categories (e.g., plastic bottles, paper, etc.).
This helps analyze the types of litter present and target cleanup efforts effectively.
