In this study, it is aimed to develop a deep learning application which detects types of garbage into trash in order to
provide recyclability with vision system. Training and testing will be performed with image data consisting of several classes
on different garbage types. The data set used during training and testing will be generated from original frames taken from
garbage images. The data set used for deep learning structures has a total of 2527 images with 6 different classes. Half of these
images in the data set were used for training process and remaining part were used for testing procedure. Also, transfer
learning was used to obtain shorter training and test procedures with and higher accuracy. As fine-tuned models, Alexnet,
VGG16, Googlenet and Resnet structures were carried. In order to test performance of classifiers, two different classifiers are
used as Softmax and Support Vector Machines. 6 different type of trash images were correctly classified the highest accuracy
with GoogleNet+SVM as 97.86%.
