ISBNet

ISBNet is a dataset of images of recyclables. It is hand collected by our group at the International School of Beijing. The trash in these images was gathered from trash bins around the school. ISBNet totals 889 images distributed across 5 classes: cans (74), landfill (410), paper (182), plastic (122), and tetra pak (101). The data acquisition process involved using a piece of black poster paper as a background; this would create enough contrast for trash belonging to the paper category. These pictures were taken with an iPhone 8 and an iPhone XS. We recorded the trash bin in which the piece of trash originated from and any trash generating landmarks nearby. Please refer to the paper (ThanosNet: A Novel Trash Classification Method Using Metadata) for more about the format of the metadata.
