Smart Compost Bin for Measurement of Consumer Food Waste

Published in CoFI, 2024

We present the Smart Compost Bin, a novel food waste measurement device. Our low-cost 3D printed compost bin allows household users to gain insights on their food waste and compost habits, using a camera and environmental sensors to automatically classify and quantify food disposals. Using this device, we propose a pilot study to leverage volunteer households to annotate food waste images taken from our device, enabling the development of a robust food waste image segmentation model.
