【Abstract】This article presents a deep learning (DL) model integrated automated and secure garbage management scheme using unmanned any vehicle (UxV) to minimize the human effort in terms of the traditional garbage management system. Different kinds of UxV (unmanned aerial vehicles, automated guided vehicles, unmanned surface vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, etc.) are utilized to establish an automated garbage management scheme to collect and place the garbage both from the ground and sea surfaces. However, due to the limited battery capacity and inadequate resources of different UxV, a lightweight DL model is developed to detect the garbage successfully with a higher accuracy rate. The proposed lightweight DL model uses two activation functions named MISH and rectified linear unit to enhance the feature extraction and detect the garbage. Moreover, a multiaccess edge computing (MEC) server is allocated in the proposed scheme to improve the Quality of Service (QoS) (i.e., reduce latency and improve security). Furthermore, a blockchain-based secure hazardous garbage (e.g., infectious, toxic, or radioactive materials) tracking technique is concluded in this scheme to identify the individual and reduce the potential harm to the environment. Experimental results demonstrate that the UxV can successfully detect the garbage using the proposed lightweight DL model within a minimum time frame and the obtained accuracy is higher than the other existing DL models. Besides, QoS has been investigated to verify the efficacy of the proposed scheme. Finally, a private blockchain network is established to demonstrate the performance of the proposed hazardous garbage tracking technique.
