AI summary Read the abstract

This is a research dataset and code repository — not a standalone paper — associated with a study that trained deep learning models to automatically detect and classify microplastics in scanning electron microscope images, supporting more efficient and reproducible analysis.

Here are the datasets for the paper (Automatic quantification and classification of microplastics in scanning electron micrographs via deep learning) published the Science of the Total Environment. The complete training dataset of semantic segmentation and shape classification is in dataset1.zip. The dataset of instance segmentation is present in multiple forms in dataset2.zip. The experiment setting for each micrograph was recorded together with the original SEM micrographs and all ground-truth labels in the file dataset3.zip. Main results were saved in result.zip.

Automatic quantification and classification of microplastics in scanning electron micrographs via deep learning

AI summary Read the abstract

Researchers developed a deep learning system that can automatically detect and classify microplastics in scanning electron microscope images, replacing the time-consuming process of manual analysis. The system achieved high accuracy in identifying different types and shapes of microplastic particles, even very small ones that are difficult to spot by eye. This automated approach could significantly speed up microplastic monitoring and pollution assessment efforts.
