摘要：INTELLIGENT WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEMS BECAME A PRIORITY ISSUE OF DEVELOPEDCOUNTRIES LEADING TO THE NECESSITY OF PROCESS AUTOMATION. IN THIS PAPER, WE AIM TOEXPLORE THIS TYPE OF SYSTEMS WHICH ARE ABLE TO DETECT, RECOGNIZE AND IDENTIFY THEWASTE. THE FIRST PART OF THIS PAPER INTRODUCES APPLICABLE TYPES OF SENSORS WHICHCOULD BE USED WITHIN AN APPLICATION, WHILE THE SECOND PART CONTAINS A CASE STUDYPRESENTING SENSORS DISPOSAL METHODS WITH THE ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES WHICHMIGHT OCCUR. A VISION SYSTEM WILL BE USED FOR THE PROPOSED APPLICATION, WHICH WILLCONTAIN ONE OR MORE CAMERAS FOR THE CORRECT RECOGNITION OF WASTE ELECTRICAL ANDELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT. FOUR POSSIBLE CONFIGURATIONS OF CAMERA POSITIONING WITHINTHE VISUAL RECOGNITION SYSTEM IN RELATION TO THE IDENTIFIED / RECOGNIZED PART AREPRESENTED.
