Abstract—In 2019, Shanghai has published a new regulation
of trash management, which obtains a series of achievements in
managing trash. In order to implement this regulation further
and help citizens understand clearer about trash classification,
we decided to develop a deep learning dataset and models to
classify waste automatically. The object of this study is to take
an image as input and identify the category of trash. We write
a web crawler to capture images. After pre-processing, we gain
about 14,000 images in total. We compare models including
CNN, a ResNet50 model, and a VGG16 model on the dataset.
Our experiments show that the ResNet50 model perform better
than the others.
Index Terms—Dataset, garbage classification, web crawler,
convolutional neural network, transfer learning.
