Artificial intelligence in analysis of microplastic pollutants

AI summary Read the abstract

This Croatian thesis reviews artificial intelligence methods for analyzing and classifying microplastic pollutants. The author examines how machine learning and image analysis tools can improve the speed and accuracy of microplastic detection and characterization in environmental samples.

Sa sve većom upotrebom plastike dolazi i do nagomilavanja plastičnog otpada koji nerijetko završava u okolišu, a posebice u vodama. U zadnjih nekoliko godina istraživanja su usmjerena prema pronalasku načina detekcije i karakterizacije sićušnih čestica plastike pod nazivom mikroplastika koje predstavljaju globalni ekološki problem. Negativni utjecaj mikroplastike ogleda se u lakom ulasku u hranidbeni lanac te potencijalnoj toksičnosti. Dosadašnje metode detekcije su konvencionalne analitičke metode koje nažalost nemaju veliku učinkovitost. Veliki nedostatak takvih metoda je i dugo vrijeme provedbe analize kao i mogućnost ljudske pogreške. Kako bi se navedeni problemi izbjegli, sve češće se u karakterizaciji upotrebljava umjetna inteligencija. Cilj ovog rada je dati pregled metode umjetne inteligencije koje se koriste u detekciji i karakterizaciji mikroplastičnih čestica.
