The challenge is to detect, classify, and segment the plastics in the given dataset and propose a viable and architecturally sound AI solution to curtail the plastic menace choking our rivers. The solutions must have actionable insights where the stakeholders, like the government and local support groups, can take preventive and proactive measures.

Requirements

Phase I: Model Building

Detection and Counting of Plastic

Context: The extracted images in the datasets (Train, test and predict) contain drone images taken from river Saigon. Images contain plastic debris, patches of weeds (water hyacinths) and other floating debris.

  1. Label the images for plastic. Accurate labelling is part of the Hackathon challenge.
  2. AI-based object detection of plastic and and counting of plastic in the given images.
  3. Geotag the plastic and provide the URL link.
