Abstract:<p>Plastic pollution of water bodies is a major environmental issue, as it can have harmful effects on marine life, riverine ecosystems and society as a whole. To mitigate the impacts of plastic pollution, accurate detection and quantification of macroplastic litter (plastic items > 5 mm) is of particular importance. In recent years, researchers and engineers have developed Deep Learning methods showing promising performances for detecting riverine macroplastic litter. However, there are s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
