    Article
    Open Access
    One of the most promising innovation strategies for sorting and recycling post-consumer aluminium scrap is using quantitative Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) analysis. However, existing methods to estimate ...

  • Simultaneous mass estimation and class classification of scrap metals using deep learning 

    Diaz-Romero, Dillam; Van den Eynde, Simon; Sterkens, Wouter; Engelen, Bart; Zaplana Agut, Isiah; Dewulf, Wim; Goedemé, Toon; Peeters, Jef R. (2022-06)
    Article
    Open Access
    While deep learning has helped improve the performance of classification, object detection, and segmentation in recycling, its potential for mass prediction has not yet been explored. Therefore, this study proposes a system ...
