In 2022, smartphone vendors sold around 1.39 billion smartphones were sold worldwide, with this number forecast to drop to 1.34 billion in 2023.

Smartphone penetration rate still on the rise

Less than half of the world’s total population owned a smart device in 2016, but the smartphone penetration rate has continued climbing, reaching 78.05 percent in 2020. By 2025, it is forecast that almost 87 percent of all mobile users in the United States will own a smartphone, an increase from the 27 percent of mobile users in 2010.

Smartphone end user sales

In the United States alone, sales of smartphones were projected to be worth around 73 billion U.S. dollars in 2021, an increase from 18 billion dollars in 2010. Global sales of smartphones are expected to increase from 2020 to 2021 in every major region, as the market starts to recover from the initial impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

The number of smartphone users in the United States was forecast to continuously increase between 2024 and 2029 by in total 17.4 million users (+5.61 percent). After the fifteenth consecutive increasing year, the smartphone user base is estimated to reach 327.54 million users and therefore a new peak in 2029.

In 2020, more smartphones were sold in Greater China than any other region in the world at over 368 million units. The annual global smartphone sales plateaued at around 1.5 billion units in the previous years, but dropped in 2020 to 1.38 billion units, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Before 2020, only China and other emerging countries in Asia were still showing growth. The potential for growth in China is reflected in the country's smartphone penetration rate, as currently, only around half of the population is using a smartphone.

Americas and Europe stagnating
Sales in the Americas region and Europe are predicted to decrease compared to pre-pandemic sales, with the largest drop in smartphone sales in 2021 predicted for North America, where smartphone sales are expected to decrease by around 8 million units in 2021 compared to 2019.

Africa and Middle East with modest growth

In contrast to the decreasing markets in Europa and the Americas, smartphone sales are expected to increase in Sub-Saharan countries and North Africa as well as the Middle East from 2019 to 2021. Shipments to the Middle East and Africa have been steadily growing since 2013. Drivers for the growth in these markets are the still low smartphone penetration and the average selling price for smartphones that is only half of the average price in North America.

Overview

The goal of this project was to create a structured dataset which can be used to train computer vision models to detect electronic waste devices, i.e., e-waste or Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE). Due to the often-subjective differences between e-waste and functioning electronic devices, a model trained on this dataset could also be used to detect electronic devices in general. However, it must be noted that for the purposes of e-waste recognition, this dataset does not differentiate between different brands or models of the same type of electronic devices, e.g. smartphones, and it also includes images of damaged equipment.

The structure of this dataset is based on the UNU-KEYS classification Wang et al., 2012, Forti et al., 2018. Each class in this dataset has a tag containing its corresponding UNU-KEY. This dataset structure has the following benefits: 1. It allows the user to easily classify e-waste devices regardless of which e-waste definition their country or organization uses, thanks to the correlation between the UNU-KEYS and other classifications such as the HS-codes or the EU-6 categories, defined in the WEEE directive; 2. It helps dataset contributors focus on adding e-waste devices with higher priority compared to arbitrarily chosen devices. This is because electronic devices in the same UNU-KEY category have similar function, average weight and life-time distribution as well as comparable material composition, both in terms of hazardous substances and valuable materials, and related end-of-life attributes Forti et al., 2018. 3. It gives dataset contributors a clear goal of which electronic devices still need to be added and a clear understanding of their progress in the seemingly endless task of creating an e-waste dataset.

This dataset contains annotated images of e-waste from every UNU-KEY category. According to Forti et al., 2018, there are a total of 54 UNU-KEY e-waste categories.

Description of Classes

At the time of writing, 22. Apr. 2024, the dataset has 19613 annotated images and 77 classes. The dataset has mixed bounding-box and polygon annotations. Each class of the dataset represents one type of electronic device. Different models of the same type of device belong to the same class. For example, different brands of smartphones are labelled as "Smartphone", regardless of their make or model. Many classes can belong to the same UNU-KEY category and therefore have the same tag. For example, the classes "Smartphone" and "Bar-Phone" both belong to the UNU-KEY category "0306 - Mobile Phones". The images in the dataset are anonymized, meaning that no people were annotated and images containing visible faces were removed.

The dataset was almost entirely built by cloning annotated images from the following open-source Roboflow datasets: [1]-[91]. Some of the images in the dataset were acquired from the Wikimedia Commons website. Those images were chosen to have an unrestrictive license, i.e., they belong to the public domain. They were manually annotated and added to the dataset.

Contribution Guidelines

Image Collection

1. Choose a specific electronic device type to add to the dataset and find its corresponding UNU-KEY. * The chosen type of device should have a characteristic design which an object detection model can learn. For example, CRT monitors look distinctly different than flat panel monitors and should therefore belong to a different class, regardless that they are both monitors. In contrast, LED monitors and LCD monitors look very similar and are therefore both labelled as Flat-Panel-Monitor in this dataset.
2. Collect images of this type of device. * Take note of the license of those images and their author/s to avoid copyright infringement. * Do not collect images with visible faces to protect personal data and comply w

This competition involves advertisement data provided by BuzzCity Pte. Ltd. BuzzCity is a global mobile advertising network that has millions of consumers around the world on mobile phones and devices. In Q1 2012, over 45 billion ad banners were delivered across the BuzzCity network consisting of more than 10,000 publisher sites which reach an average of over 300 million unique users per month. The number of smartphones active on the network has also grown significantly. Smartphones now account for more than 32% phones that are served advertisements across the BuzzCity network. The "raw" data used in this competition has two types: publisher database and click database, both provided in CSV format. The publisher database records the publisher's (aka partner's) profile and comprises several fields:

publisherid - Unique identifier of a publisher. Bankaccount - Bank account associated with a publisher (may be empty) address - Mailing address of a publisher (obfuscated; may be empty) status - Label of a publisher, which can be the following: "OK" - Publishers whom BuzzCity deems as having healthy traffic (or those who slipped their detection mechanisms) "Observation" - Publishers who may have just started their traffic or their traffic statistics deviates from system wide average. BuzzCity does not have any conclusive stand with these publishers yet "Fraud" - Publishers who are deemed as fraudulent with clear proof. Buzzcity suspends their accounts and their earnings will not be paid

On the other hand, the click database records the click traffics and has several fields:

id - Unique identifier of a particular click numericip - Public IP address of a clicker/visitor deviceua - Phone model used by a clicker/visitor publisherid - Unique identifier of a publisher adscampaignid - Unique identifier of a given advertisement campaign usercountry - Country from which the surfer is clicktime - Timestamp of a given click (in YYYY-MM-DD format) publisherchannel - Publisher's channel type, which can be the following: ad - Adult sites co - Community es - Entertainment and lifestyle gd - Glamour and dating in - Information mc - Mobile content pp - Premium portal se - Search, portal, services referredurl - URL where the ad banners were clicked (obfuscated; may be empty).

Year after year, the demand for ever-better smartphone photos continues to grow, in particular in the domain of portrait photography. Manufacturers thus use perceptual quality criteria throughout the development of smartphone cameras. This costly procedure can be partially replaced by automated learning-based methods for image quality assessment (IQA). Due to its subjective nature, it is necessary to estimate and guarantee the consistency of the IQA process, a characteristic lacking in the mean opinion scores (MOS) widely used for crowdsourcing IQA. In addition, existing blind IQA (BIQA) datasets pay little attention to the difficulty of cross-content assessment, which may degrade the quality of annotations. This paper introduces PIQ23, a portrait-specific IQA dataset of 5116 images of 50 predefined scenarios acquired by 100 smartphones, covering a high variety of brands, models, and use cases. The dataset includes individuals of various genders and ethnicities who have given explicit and informed consent for their photographs to be used in public research. It is annotated by pairwise comparisons (PWC) collected from over 30 image quality experts for three image attributes: face detail preservation, face target exposure, and overall image quality. An in-depth statistical analysis of these annotations allows us to evaluate their consistency over PIQ23. Finally, we show through an extensive comparison with existing baselines that semantic information (image context) can be used to improve IQA predictions. The dataset along with the proposed statistical analysis and BIQA algorithms are available: https://github.com/DXOMARKResearch/PIQ2023
