| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed an algorithm for detecting pixels of marine plastic debris from the 8-band multispectral satellite (Worldview-2) image by an experiment with a hyperspectral camera. In the experiment, the hyper spectra of two types of plastics (i.e., polyepropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS)) were obtained. From the hyper spectra of PP and PS, we created the 8-band multispectral image and generated color references for detecting PP and PS from the 8-band multispectral image. Consequently, we can successfully detect the pixels of PP and PS from the 8-band multispectral image.
