This research report presents a design and development of used plastic bottle seller based on internet of things (IoTs). The objective of this project is to realize importance of the world conservation by recycling the used plastic bottle via seller machine. For system working, user submits their account to the seller machine via key pad. The machine is commanded to open hole for putting bottles in tray and controller board, raspberry pi, gets bottle picture via webcam. Color-projection histogram, combined spatial and color information, was computed to classify bottle size and brand. After that the size and brand including user account will be sent to online web hosting to record point. The collection of point can be show on web page and can be change to products or services in category such as coke, a bottle of drinking water, snake, donation to temple etc. For future work, we can improve mechanic of bottle conveyer to increase speed of the machine seller and also improve money transfer system via online banking.
