Deep Plastic

• Enhanced Object Detection for Epipelagic Plastic.
• This repository contains source code for the method developed in DeepPlastic: Identifying Marine Plastic In The Epipelagic Zone using Computer Vision and Deep Learning

Information:

• Paper: [Coming Soon]
• Preprint: https://arxiv.org/
• YouTube video of Results: https://youtu.be/8zBdFxaK4Os
• Data: Google Drive

Object Detection Model

• Two models: YOLOv4 and YOLOv5
• Small efficient and high precision models can be used for real-time object detection.
• Model architecture and implementation details: https://arxiv.org/
• Weights for YOLOv4 and YOLOv5 are provided in the model/
  • YOLOv4: best.weights; use best.weights
  • YOLOv5: best.pt; use best.pt
