Identification of Recycled Plastic Bottles by Convolutional Neural Network Based Polarization Information: Leveraging Polarization Information for Accurate Sorting and Recycling of Plastic Bottles

Published: 26 October 2023 Publication History

Abstract

The identification and classification of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and non-PET plastic bottles is of great significance in recycling. Compared with RGB images, polarized images contain more information about the surface materials of objects. A recognition and classification method based on polarimetric vision combined with convolution neural network and image segmentation is proposed. Firstly, different polarization information is used to train a convolutional network, filter the polarization angle information as the most suitable training feature, and create an angle of polarization dataset of plastic bottles. Afterwards, the convolutional neural network is structurally optimized to achieve high accuracy in classifying plastic bottles. Further, to solve the problem of overlapping or contacting plastic bottles in practical inspection, this paper proposes an image segmentation method based on dynamic threshold segmentation and convex package defect detection to achieve high recognition accuracy. The optimized convolutional neural network combined with the image segmentation method can achieve a classification accuracy of 96.10%.
