Finished! Looks like this project is out of data at the moment!
We need YOU to make our beaches cleaner using Drones and Artificial Intelligence!!!
Learn moreThe workflow “Find litter” aims to detect images, where marine litter are present. The outset of the workflow will be used from our machine learning. Thus the computer can identify images with marine litter correctly, even in datasets that volunteers have not classified. For the images containing marine litter, another task will be created to draw bounding boxes around them.

Message from the researcher
Our drones have given us more images than we alone can analyse. We need your valuable help to detect Marine Litter so these images can be used to automatically detect litter for cleaner beaches.
Plastic Litter Project: Coastal Litter MappingAbout Plastic Litter Project: Coastal Litter Mapping
We are the Marine Remote Sensing Group (MRSG) from the Department of Marine Sciences of the University of the Aegean. We conduct research on analyzing and mapping spatiotemporal phenomena in the coastal environment using satellite and UAV data.
MRSG is using UAVs equipped with high-resolution optical sensors to acquire images from beaches.
Using the power of deep learning algorithms we map and quantify Marine Litter washing up on our beaches.
With your help, we can train our deep learning algorithms to autodetect images with marine litter.
Let's make our beaches cleaner!!!!!!!
