Training Details (Skip this part if you arent interested in AI programming) - I used 2000 synthetic 512x512 px training images (plus 200 synthetic validation images) - I did ZERO training on real images - I trained the "heads" for 4 epochs of 500 steps and the full network for another 4 epochs - Resnet50 backbone (Resnet101 caused OOM errors) using COCO pre-trained weights - Training took about 20 minutes on my computer - Final losses after the 8th epoch: loss: 0.3615 - rpn_class_loss: 0.0023 - rpn_bbox_loss: 0.1823 - mrcnn_class_loss: 0.0232 - mrcnn_bbox_loss: 0.0636 - mrcnn_mask_loss: 0.0901 - val_loss: 0.3261 - val_rpn_class_loss: 0.0013 - val_rpn_bbox_loss: 0.1875 - val_mrcnn_class_loss: 0.0043 - val_mrcnn_bbox_loss: 0.0535 - val_mrcnn_mask_loss: 0.0794 Results It's far from perfect, and probably isn't practical to bolt onto a robot right now, but with more training and improvements in GPU hardware, I think this could be a viable solution to pick up cigarette butts on a huge scale

Here are my favorites for this fall

Have you ever asked questions like: Where in the Bible does it say that its wrong (or is it?) for someone to drink beer, or to gossip, or dance, or talk publicly about sex, or smoke cigarettes, or listen to rap music, or find a wife, or
It turns out that smoking does lead to a temporary increase in blood pressure - Dr Farsalinos estimates that this lasts for about 15 minutes
