Building a Comprehensive Plastic Waste Observation Network from Towns to Coasts Through AI and Remote Sensing

This presentation describes an attempt to solve one of the most serious global environmental problems, marine plastic pollution, by integrating remote sensing and various machine learning technologies, including the latest deep learning. The goal of these studies is to make science-based environmental policy recommendations, thereby drastically reducing the time and personnel costs that researchers and local governments previously spent surveying coastal and urban areas. In addition, we will present an approach that encourages citizens to reduce their consumption and disposal of plastics by helping to improve their environmental literacy.
