Abstract

Systems and methods are described for generating an interface that allows users to select and categorize particular waste items in real-time, for subsequent automated sorting. For example, detecting and identifying waste items, presenting them on a display, and allowing users to select items from the display and categorize them by selecting and dragging highlighted items to appropriate category affordances presented on the display.
