Machine learning for aquatic plastic litter detection, classification and quantification (APLASTIC-Q)

Environmental Research Letters, 2020
Large quantities of mismanaged plastic waste are polluting and threatening the health of the blue planet. As such, vast amounts of this plastic waste found in the oceans originates from land.
