SMART GARBAGE MONITORING SYSTEM USING IOT BASED

Computer Engineering

As the name suggests we are developing an Automatic garbage collection and information gathering system which is based on Image processing as well as on GSM module. The main concept is that a Camera will be placed at every garbage collection point along with load cell sensor at bottom of the garbage can. The camera will take continuous snapshots of the garbage can. The eshold level is set which compares the output of camera and load sensor .The comparison is done with help of microcontroller. After analyzing the image we get an idea about level of garbage in the can and from the load cell sensor we get to know weight of g garbage. Accordingly information is processed that is controller checks if the threshold level is exceeded or not. The controller sends a message with the help of GSM module to Garbage collection local central office to notify that garbage can is exceeded its capacity and disposal of waste is required. Accordingly the authority sends the garbage can collecting vehicle to collect the garbage, which is done with the help of robot mechanism.
