Summary

Researchers developed a deep learning model using projector-based feature extraction to classify underwater garbage images, achieving high accuracy in identifying marine plastic debris and other waste types for automated ocean pollution monitoring.

Study Type Environmental

Abstract Marine and ocean pollution is one of the most serious environmental problems in the world. Marine plastics pose a significant threat to the marine ecosystem due to their negative effects. After passing through various processes, plastic waste accumulates on the seafloor and fragments into very small pieces known as microplastics. These microplastics are to blame for the extinction and death of aquatic life. This study obtained a hybrid underwater dataset containing 13,089 images, sized 300 × 300, including garbage and sea animals. In the proposed method, this dataset is used to develop our example projector deep feature generator. In this study, using the Resnet101 network in a sample projector build, the feature generator creates 6,000 features. Using NCA (Neighborhood Component Analysis), the best 1000 features from a pool of 6,000 are selected. The kNN (k-nearest neighbor) algorithm is then used to classify the resulting feature vectors. As validation techniques, both tenfold cross-validations were used. The hybrid dataset's best accuracy was calculated to be 99.35%. Our recommendation is successful based on the comparisons and calculated performance measures.
