| Medium | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Medium Difficulty Summary This paper introduces WasteMS, a novel multispectral dataset for semantic segmentation of lakeside waste. The authors propose an efficient computer vision-based solution to monitor environmental green areas more effectively than traditional manual inspections. By leveraging multispectral imaging, the WasteMS dataset captures diverse information about objects under different spectrums, enabling accurate differentiation between waste and lawn environments. To evaluate the effectiveness of this approach, the researchers implemented a rigorous annotation process for labeling waste in images, followed by evaluations using representative semantic segmentation frameworks. The challenges encountered when applying this method to segmenting waste on lakeside lawns are also discussed. This work contributes to the development of sustainable environmental monitoring systems and showcases the potential of computer vision technologies in this domain. |
| Low | GrooveSquid.com (original content) | Low Difficulty Summary This paper creates a special dataset called WasteMS that helps computers understand what is waste or not, especially near lakesides. Normally, people inspect these areas by hand, but using cameras can be faster and more accurate. The authors show how their method works well on different kinds of waste and lighting conditions. They also share some challenges they faced when trying to apply this method to real-world situations. |
