The increasing global concern regarding waste management, illegal dumping, and environmental pollution underscores the urgent need for intelligent and effective monitoring systems. Recent advances in computer vision, driven by the rapid progress of artificial intelligence, offer promising opportunities to tackle these challenges. Nevertheless, current scientific literature highlights several open research issues, such as the need for more robust detection methods adaptable to diverse environments, the scarcity of comprehensive datasets and benchmarks, and the development of real-time solutions deployable on systems with limited computational resources.
