Abstract
Small object detection is a critical task in the context of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste segregation, where accurate identification and classification can significantly enhance automated waste management systems. This paper presents a novel approach called Feature-Enhanced CenterNet, which integrates advanced feature extraction techniques to improve the detection performance of small objects in cluttered and complex waste environments. By leveraging a robust backbone network combined with feature pyramid networks (FPN) and attention mechanisms, our method enhances the spatial resolution and contextual information of small object features, leading to more precise detections. Extensive experiments on a custom waste segregation dataset demonstrate the superiority of our Feature-Enhanced CenterNet over traditional detection models, particularly in identifying small-sized waste items. The proposed model achieves state-of-the-art performance in terms of both accuracy and efficiency, making it highly suitable for real-time waste sorting applications. The integration of this approach into automated waste management systems promises to streamline the segregation process, reduce human intervention, and promote sustainable waste handling practices.
