• Download input data to use in prototype Download Input Data

• Extract the data in the wwwroot\detection\prepared_inputs directory of the Solution

  • create the detection if it is not already there
  • Example full path of the input image used in the Detection process:
    • C:\Visual Studio Projects\WasteDetection\WasteDetection\wwwroot\detection\prepared_inputs\1to10.tif

• All inputs are full paths

• Input Image (full process, calculate image statistics, train image classifier, image classification):

  • ...\detection\prepared_inputs\1to10.tif

• Input Statistics:

  • ...\prepared_inputs\statistics\1to10.xml

• Input Model:

  • ...\prepared_inputs\models\model_1to10.mdl

• Input Training Layer:

  • ...\detection\prepared_inputs\training_layers\training_classes.shp

• Input Control Layer:

  • ...\detection\prepared_inputs\control_layers\control_classes.shp

• Input for Raster Calculation:

  • Input is Output from Image Classification

• Input for Sieve:

  • Input is Output from Raster Calculation

• Input for Polygonize:

  • Input is Output from Sieve

• An Open Layers Map
  • zoom in
  • zoom out
  • drag to move
  • switch layers

      • default visibility: false
    • input_image
      • The starting input image.
      • • The image on which the model was trained on and on which the image classification was done
      • default visibility: true
  • Vector Layers
    • input_training_vector
      • The input training classes as polygons (Vector layer .geojson)
      • color: orange
      • default visibility: false
    • input_validation_vector
      • The input validation classes as polygons (Vector layer .geojson)
      • color: yellow
      • default visibility: false
    • output_vectorized_result
      • The detected waste as polygons (Vector layer .geojson)
      • color: red
      • default visibility: true

The data shown comes from the dowloaded input

• Run the full waste detection process on the downloaded input image
• • C:\WasteDetection\WasteDetection\wwwroot\detection\prepared_inputs\1to10.gif
• The other needed parameter are drawn from prepared inputs folder (downloaded input data)

• Allows the option to run each step of the waste detection process individually
• The output of each step can be used in the following step, only the path is needed
• The Images generated by the steps: ImageClassification, Raster Calculator and Sieve can be viewed correctly in the QGIS software
• Since this is a prototype some output paths might not be shown, but there is a high likelyhood that their output will be generated in the appropriate folder inside wwwroot\detection\step_name\calculated in this case these path can be constructed manually and still be used as input to the next step
