Selecting what images to annotate and add was done rather methodically. The results were promising, but clearly not enough: This was done on about 40 images selected from the web. We selected the initial weights available (tiny yolo) and trained the model to detect only one class: trash. We started off testing the idea of trash detection with the YOLO ( You Only Look Once) object detection system in the beginning of March 2019. These images were not in the training dataset and were used to assess the accuracy of the model. Result validation, Testing the training – After each training cycle, the best model was chosen and tested by having it predict trash on test images.Training the machine learning model – This was done multiple times, each time adapting the parameters of the Mask R-CNN model to improve the results and adding new images to the training dataset.

We got help from the lovely volunteers from LDIW Foundation and UC Riverside, and all together manually annotated over 1000 images for the model to learn what trash is.
