This week we tested limits of our model on complex examples.

Non-recycle test images sample:

When choosing images that cannot be recycled, we intentionally picked pictures that are mostly white and lack vibrant colors. This was done to make it more challenging for the model to identify and classify the images.

Recycle test images sample:

When choosing recyclable images, we intentionally opted for colorful ones or images that resemble non-recyclable items or pizza boxes that are in good condition. This was done to add complexity and make it challenging for the model to accurately classify the images.

Observations:

  1. Brown Images: The model tends to classify brown images as recyclable with high confidence.
  2. White Images: White images, on the other hand, do not receive the same level of confidence in being classified as recyclable.
  3. Colorful Images: For very colorful images, the model often leans towards classifying them as non-recyclable.
  4. Complex Images: Images with multiple diverse areas tend to be classified as non-recyclable by the model.
