This work introduced a vision-based waste classification system that relies on Deep Meta-Learner Stacking with Explainable AI (DMLSE) to merge the unique feature representations of a BasicCNN, VGG16, ResNet50V2, and MobileNetV2 across the synthetic, garbage, and waste classification datasets.
Rapid urbanization and population growth have made efficient waste management a critical environmental challenge. While deep learning has advanced automated waste classification, most existing models either rely on computationally heavy architectures that are unsuitable for resource-constrained edge devices or are limi...
