SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTING WASTE RECEPTACLES

A system can include a camera, a single-stage object detector, and one or more processors. The camera can capture image data that includes a waste receptacle. The single-stage object detector can detect waste receptables. The one or more processors can communicate with a waste-collection vehicle, the camera, and the single-stage object detector. The one or more processors can receive, from the camera, the image data. The one or more processors can provide, as an input, the image data to the single-stage object detector. The one or more processors can identify, based on an output of the single-stage object detector, the waste receptacle.
