System and process for fighting litter accumulation in urban or rural area

摘要

The invention encompasses processes and systems for fighting littering by mounting high definition cameras in strategic positions to produce high resolution images to be evaluated by a neural network. Images containing suspected offences are forwarded to a human validation station to identify an action of littering. The system then initiates a data gathering action to identify the offender which could result in the issue of a fixed penalty notice. A feed-back loop could be included to continuously improve the neural net work's performance. Additional system modules are provided for identifying fly-tipping and badly or unsecured loads on vehicles in a similar way. Means for activating street cleaning activities are also provided.
