Abstract
In the coming 5G era, the medical waste is mostly sorted manually, and medical staff involved in sorting is at great risk of being infected with virus. To solve this problem, a medical waste automatic identification and classification system is designed, which adopt technology of machine vision and deep learning algorithm. The system firstly detects and locates medical waste by cross-platform computer vision library (Open CV), then applies SSD-Mobile Net model to train and classify medical waste. The existing background subtraction algorithm and SSD-MobileNet model structure are improved. Examples of hemostatic forceps, gloves, infusion bags and syringes are tested. Experimental results show that recognition accuracy of medical waste classification system is more than 98.5%, and average recognition time is 52 milliseconds, and the system has strong robustness. The application of the proposed method in actual medical waste classification is of great significance in reducing manual input and reducing the risk of virus infection for medical personnel involved in sorting.
