Sao Jose dos Campos, Sao Paulo State | Leveraging AI/ML for plastic marine debris

Clean Ocean

High-Level Project Summary

We are developing an AI that looks for plastic/waste to remove from the ocean, in this way, it is possible to contribute to the fight against pollution, also reducing the risk of accidents with marine animals, such as turtles and dolphins.

Detailed Project Description

Based in a photo of the ocean, the AI tries to indentify plastic/garbage in order to give its location, and then turns possible to withdrawn it. This procedure provides an easier way to clean the ocean. We hope to make a better future to everyone, starting by the ocean.

Hackathon Journey

We found it really fun and we learned a lot from this challenge, even though it was very difficult.

Leveraging AI/ML for plastic marine debris

Marine debris is one of the most pervasive threats to the health of coastal areas, oceans, and waterways. Your challenge is to leverage Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning to monitor, detect, and quantify plastic pollution and increase our understanding about using these techniques for this purpose.
