AI filtering for vehicle-camera events in a waste management platform

An ongoing client engagement for an existing waste management platform that receives events from vehicle-camera systems. DapperAgent added an AI-assisted filtering component to that platform.

Client
An anonymized waste management technology platform
DapperAgent contribution
An AI-assisted component that evaluates visual evidence and filters selected event types according to configured rules inside the existing platform workflow.

Implementation with ongoing monitoring, support, and optimization

01

Original workflow and problem

What enters the process

Collection events and alarm events generated by vehicle-camera systems and received by the existing platform.

How the work was handled

Vehicle-camera systems generate events that enter the existing platform workflow.

What the automation was intended to improve

Add a filtering step that can identify likely false events and apply configured rules to selected event types.

02

Before and after

Before

Vehicle-camera systems generate events that enter the existing platform workflow.

After

An additional AI filtering step evaluates visual evidence and applies configured rules to selected event types.

03

What we built

AI analysis

Evaluate visual evidence

HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM2-500M-Video-Instruct analyzes the visual evidence used by the filtering component to identify likely false events.

Software rules

Apply configured filtering rules

The component applies configured decision rules to selected event types and integrates that step into the existing platform workflow.

Operational boundary

Extend the platform, not replace it

DapperAgent added the filtering component. The cameras, original camera event detector, and waste management platform were already in place.

04

What changed in the workflow

  • Selected vehicle-camera events can be evaluated against visual evidence before continuing through the platform workflow.
  • Likely false events can be identified by the added filtering component.
  • Filtering behavior is applied through configured rules for selected event types.

05

Technical implementation

The filtering component integrates HuggingFaceTB/SmolVLM2-500M-Video-Instruct for video analysis. The model supports the visual evaluation step; conventional integration and configured rules control how selected event types are handled inside the existing platform.

  • Video-language model for visual evaluation
  • Configured rules for selected event types
  • Integration into the existing platform

06

Ongoing operation

The engagement continues with monitoring, support, and optimization of the filtering component and its integration.
