Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system (1) for detecting food related products (2) before thrown away, the system comprising: one or more cameras (11); a display unit (12); a computing device (13) that is communicatively connected to the cameras and the display; and a scale (3) that is communicatively connected to the computing device, the scale holding a trash bin (31), wherein the cameras obtain an image or a video of the products when the products are within a field of view of the cameras and before the products are in the trash bin, the scale configured to weigh the products in the trash bin, and wherein the computing device obtains information about the products from the obtained image or video by applying an image recognition algorithm, receives the weight from the scale and generates and outputs data on the display unit, the data being based on the information about products and the weight.
