Trash AI: Web application for serverless image classification of trash

Project Information

• Sponsor: Win Cowger, Moore Institute for Plastic Pollution Research
• Meeting Times: Wednesdays at 6:30pm PT Weekly Brigade Meetings
• Publication Pending: paper.md

Project Summary

Trash AI is a web application where users can upload photos of litter, which will be labeled using computer vision to detect and categorize litter in the image by type. Early inspiration from WADE AI streamlined this development. Trash AI will enhance the abilities of researchers to quickly label trash in photos.

Demo

Deployment

You can simply go to www.trashai.org to start using the tool or deploy it yourself. Current self-deployment options are local deployment with docker to remote on Amazon Web Services (AWS).

Run Local Docker Instance

docker run -p 5150:5150 -it code4sac/trashai:latest

Navigate to http://localhost:5150

If you are attempting to run on an Apple Silicon device, you might get the following error:

docker: no matching manifest for linux/arm64/v8 in the manifest list entries.

This can be remedied by specifying the build platform.

docker run --platform linux/x86_64 -p 5150:5150 -it code4sac/trashai:latest

Deploy to Any Webserver

If you want to deploy this to a static web directory and serve it using apache or nginx, you can do so with the following command using /var/www/html as an example destination directory.

# create container from latest public trash ai docker image
id=$(docker create code4sac/trashai:latest)

# copy the static files
docker cp $id:/usr/share/nginx/html /var/www/html

# remove created container
docker rm -v $id

Local Development

• Run the environment live with localstack and docker.

AWS Deployment
