Description
Summary:Abstract The large volumes of bio-waste pose significant health and sanitation hazards. Effective bio-waste management involves value addition and conversion processes to enable the utilization of municipal biological waste as low-carbon energy sources. This research suggests a new predictive analytics model using the YOLOv8-SPP algorithm for improved waste management. With precise structuring and data processing, YOLOv8-SPP enhances waste identification and segmentation of various wastes with the vision of facilitating proper anticipation of future trends in waste production. The enhanced framework is remarkably 92% accurate in predicting waste production compared to the 78% accuracy achieved with other data types. The deployment also had the effect of the recycling rate growing by 20% and reducing waste treatment expenses by 15%. The findings justify the success of executing state-of-the-art analytics to optimize waste management processes in intelligent cities.
