Optimized Segmentation Model for Garbage Detection

We built an optimized segmentation system to detect and classify different types of waste in real time.
By enhancing model speed and accuracy through hybrid CPU-GPU inference, the solution enables faster sorting, smarter recycling, and sustainable automation across waste-management facilities.

Objectives

  • Boost segmentation speed while preserving accuracy.
  • Enable real-time inference for automated waste-sorting machines.
  • Balance GPU and CPU loads for efficiency.
  • Reduce overall processing cost and power use.

Challenges

  • Complex model layers causing inference delays.
  • Maintaining accuracy after optimization.
  • Managing resource utilization for hybrid hardware.
  • Handling cluttered backgrounds and overlapping objects.

Solution

We analyzed the existing architecture with ONNX and Netron to identify bottlenecks and rebuilt key layers with TensorRT for faster execution.
A hybrid CPU-GPU inference pipeline was implemented to maximize throughput and minimize delay.
The optimized model now detects and segments waste types instantly, enabling smarter recycling and waste-management workflows.
