As the accuracy of machine learning depends on its database, the initial database will be designed to provide a high accuracy which will continue to increase through its usage.

Using a 8MP camera this will work up to 3 metres although this is dependent on the camera quality so may differ by device.

The colour of the outlines may be changed through the software’s settings or kept with default settings.

Yes, this will work as long as they are within the working range of the software.

Yes, the algorithm is based on standard gloves coloured blue and green with potential use for other colours. One component of the algorithm will be a way to distinguish background from waste items which will help separate the objects from the users gloved for analysis.

Yes, the algorithm will be trained on a large sample of different types of clinical waste to identify and categorise them. This includes plastic and transparent items.
