Detection
X-ray
Inspired by security machines, X-ray imaging could be a usefull tool in detcting the type of rubbish. X-ray imaging [3]makes use of the property of X-ray that it attenuates differently accorss difderent materials. For example metal atoms and ions attenuate more X-ray than normal organic tissue, such as fat and protein. Some new X-ray imaging techniques could even determine the chemical structures that form within the materials[4]. With such techiniques and some morden X-ray imaging detectors [2], the bin can distinguish materials much more accurate than using normal X-ray imaging. It is also possible to distinguish different types of plastics with X-ray imaging[1], which further increases the recycling sorting process.
Despite its reliable performance in detecting metal and different kinds of organic materials, an X-ray imaging system is too expensive to implement in a trash bin. Even the cheapest X-ray tubes cost $100 to $500 each, let alone the detectors, power supply and other systems.
