Our PlasticDetect system offers an end-to-end solution for real-time detection, classification, and tracking of marine plastic pollution comprising a unique multispectral, internally developed and patented laser based maritime lidar sensor (Ladar™ Sensor Suite), visual and thermal sensors, computer vision with AI and ML and complementary web portal data service supported by satellite imagery. The solution will provide quantitative information on plastic waste size and location at local, regional, and global scales. It will serve as a vital bridge between cumbersome manual sampling and inaccurate satellite measurement estimations by cost effectively measuring marine plastic remotely from a ship or other kind of mobile or fixed platform.
