发明名称 WASTE DETECTION
摘要 One or more techniques and/or systems are provided for waste object detection. For example, a waste alert component is configured to emit ultraviolet light towards a waste detection zone, such as a bathroom floor or countertop. If a waste object, such as a paper towel or other object with a fluoresce property, exists within the waste detection zone, then the waste alert component may detect an increase in light due to the waste object fluorescing visible light in response to the ultraviolet light. If the increase in light intensity exceeds a detection threshold, then the waste alert component may provide a waste detection alert that the waste object exists within the waste detection zone (e.g., a message may be sent to a housekeeper that paper towel waste in on the bathroom countertop).

主权项 1. A system for waste object detection, comprising: a waste alert component comprising: an ultraviolet light source configured to emit ultraviolet light towards a waste detection zone;a light detection component configured to: measure light intensity of light impinging on the light detection component; anda waste identification component configured to: obtain an initial light intensity measurement from the light detection component while the ultraviolet light source is turned off;obtain a light intensity measurement from the light detection component while the ultraviolet light source is turned on;determine a light intensity change based upon the initial light intensity measurement and the light intensity measurement; andresponsive to the light intensity change exceeding a detection threshold, provide a waste detection alert that a waste object exists within the waste detection zone.
