Object Detection Zoo PART-5 | Bottle Detection
Bottles are one of the most essential parts of our day to day life. Everyone uses them. Plastic bottles, steel or aluminum bottles, water bottles, beverages bottles, inshort the bottles are everywhere!
On the other hand, plastic bottles are affecting the environment rapidly. Its causing damage to lands and oceans. Here are some examples/facts,
- Plastic bottles require up to 700 years to dissolve.
- 90% of the cost of bottled water is the bottle itself.
- 80% of plastic bottles never get recycled.
- 38 million plastic bottles go to landfill each year in America alone.
- 24,000,000 liters of oil are needed to produce these billions of plastic bottles.
- The average American consumes 167 bottles of water per year.
- Bottling water and shipping transport is the least energy-efficient method of water supply in the history of mankind.
- Bottled water is the second most popular beverage in the United States.

As an environment-friendly person, I would suggest that plastic bottles should not be used or used with limitations.
To do so automated monitoring would be required. That’s the important reason I chose to train the bottle detection algorithm on this world environment day!
Here are some use-case scenarios which can use the bottle detection,
- Beaches, lakes, gardens, cinema halls, some streets where bottles are not allowed, bottle detection can be used to monitor these areas automatically using CCTV cameras.
- Bottle manufacturers can use this for counting and monitoring purposes.
- Automated or ROBO hotels(which uses automated serving using robots) can use bottle detection to verify if all the essentials(water bottles primarily) are available on the table or not.
Some of these use-cases may not make any sense,
Maybe you can think of a better use-case/application for this!
In the end, it’s all about the individual’s capacity for imagination and thinking.
