Code (only for the convolutional neural network) and dataset for mine and Mindy Yang's final project for Stanford's CS 229: Machine Learning class. Our paper can be found here. The convolutional neural network results on the poster are dated since we continued working after the end of the quarter and were able to achieve around 75% test accuracy (with 70/13/17 train/val/test split) after changing the weight initialization to the Kaiming method.
This repository contains the dataset that we collected. The dataset spans six classes: glass, paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, and trash. Currently, the dataset consists of 2527 images:
- 501 glass
- 594 paper
- 403 cardboard
- 482 plastic
- 410 metal
- 137 trash
The pictures were taken by placing the object on a white posterboard and using sunlight and/or room lighting. The pictures have been resized down to 64 x 64, which can be changed in data/constants.py (resizing them involves going through step 1 in usage). The devices used were Apple iPhone 7 Plus, Apple iPhone 5S, and Apple iPhone SE.
The size of the original dataset, ~3.5GB, exceeds the git-lfs maximum size so it has been uploaded to Google Drive. If you are planning on using the Python code to preprocess the original dataset, then download dataset-original.zip from the link below and place the unzipped folder inside of the data folder.
If you are using the dataset, please give a citation of this repository. The dataset can be downloaded here.
We wrote code in Lua using Torch; you can find installation instructions here. You'll need the following Lua packages:
After installing Torch, you can install these packages by running the following:
# Install using Luarocks
luarocks install torch
luarocks install nn
luarocks install optim
luarocks install image
luarocks install gnuplotWe also need @e-lab's weight-init module, which is already included in this repository.
Because training takes awhile, you will want to use a GPU to get results in a reasonable amount of time. We used CUDA with a GTX 650 Ti with CUDA. To enable GPU acceleration with CUDA, you'll first need to install CUDA 6.5 or higher. Find CUDA installations here.
Then you need to install following Lua packages for CUDA:
You can install these packages by running the following:
luarocks install cutorch
luarocks install cunnPython is currently used for some image preprocessing tasks. The Python dependencies are:
You can install these packages by running the following:
# Install using pip
pip install numpy scipyUnzip data/dataset-resized.zip.
If adding more data, then the new files must be enumerated properly and put into the appropriate folder in data/dataset-original and then preprocessed. Preprocessing the data involves deleting the data/dataset-resized folder and then calling python resize.py from trashnet/data. This will take around half an hour.
