Defining Irregular Microplastics: A Machine Learning Approach for Morphometric Characterization
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers applied a machine learning decision-tree classifier to hyperspectral images of 129 nano- and microplastic particles and identified five morphometric descriptors—circularity, roundness, solidity, long diameter, and perimeter-area ratio—that together distinguish irregular particles from spherical and fibrous forms with 96% accuracy, providing a standardized definition for the most environmentally prevalent but least-defined shape class.
