Concerns about the environmental impacts of deep-sea mining have increased over the past few years, and for good reason: nearly 77% of the seafloor, home to highly unique biodiversity, has not been mapped or explored. To sidestep debates over the deep sea, some companies and countries are turning to shallow seabed mining, under the assumption […]
MARLIT, an R Shiny Web App, Uses Deep Learning to Find Floating Marine Litter From Aerial Imagery
The MARLIT web app automatically locates and quantifies floating sea litter â and could assist with clean-up efforts.
Researchers at the Universitat de Barcelona, BIOST, and GRBIO in Spain have published a paper showing how a deep learning web application, written in R, could address the problem of large-scale marine litter. Meet MARLIT. Automatic aerial photography techniques combined with analytical algorithms are more efficient protocols for the control and study of [macro-litter in marine environments] , says first author Odei GarcÃa-Garin of the study s focus. However, automated remote sensing of these materials is at an early stage.
