Waste management

Teach models to sort waste and recover more.

A professional platform for real-time annotation of video, images, and sensor data. It produces datasets for AI that sorts waste, classifies recyclables, and optimizes recycling.

Applications

automated-waste-sorting.mp4 Live preview

Automated waste sorting

Train sorting-line robotics to classify waste by material (plastic, paper, metal, glass) from annotated data.

Technical edge

Multi-modal versatility

Annotate conveyor video, drone imagery, and LiDAR together to cover sorting lines and sites.

AI-powered automation

Pre-label recurring materials on the belt, then interpolate them across fast-moving video.

Quality control

Automated checks and review catch misclassified materials before the dataset reaches training.

Collaborative workflow

Share high-volume labeling across annotators and reviewers, with role-based access.

Customization & integration

Define custom classes for materials and contaminants, and export to your sorting or ML stack via API.

Enterprise-grade security

Keep facility and operations data confidential, with on-premise deployment available.

Annotation types

Bounding box

Rectangular boxes that identify and classify conveyor items: bottles, cans, bags, and paper.

Oriented bounding box

Rotated rectangles that give robotic arms the position and orientation of complex-shaped objects.

Polygon

Flexible shapes that outline crumpled objects, organic waste, or contamination zones.

Points

Single points that mark container tags, small metal parts, or objects' centers of mass for robotic capture.

Lines & multilines

Trace sorting-area boundaries, conveyor lines, and collection-vehicle routes.

Skeletons

Connected keypoints that monitor personnel actions at sorting stations.

Cuboid

3D boxes that measure recyclable bale volume or container fill level.

3D point cloud

Label LiDAR data to analyze landfill volumes and map recycling facilities in 3D.

Semantic segmentation

Pixel-level classification of materials in the mass: plastic, paper, glass, metal, and hazardous waste.

Instance segmentation

Pixel-wise separation of each waste unit in a dense stream for counting and sorting.

Bitmap

Raster masks that isolate complex edges like shredded plastic or metal shavings.

Mesh

Polygonal meshes that build recycling-plant twins and model recycling processes.

Custom

A mix of annotation methods built around your specific waste-sorting or monitoring task.
