Waste management, illegal dumping, and environmental pollution require increasingly intelligent monitoring solutions. Recent advances in artificial intelligence and computer vision offer promising opportunities, although key challenges remain, including robustness across diverse environments, limited datasets and benchmarks, and deployment on resource-constrained systems. The Topical Collection provides a forum for researchers and industry professionals to present novel methods, datasets, benchmarks, and real-world applications in smart waste monitoring, illegal dumping detection, and pollution surveillance, while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
ย
Topics of interest include:
– Waste detection and classification from images;
– Waste tracking and management from videos;
– Illegal dumping detection through computer vision;
– Multimodal systems for dumping identification;
– Remote sensing and UAV-based waste monitoring;
– Image and video analysis for pollution monitoring;
– Datasets and benchmarks;
– Real-world applications in urban and rural environments.
