Abstract:
Plastic pollution is becoming an increasingly prominent problem and the function of plastics determines whether they need to be recycled or not. In order to explore the possibility of using satellite imagery to classify the functionality of plastics, this study proposes a two-stage workflow: firstly, a classification map is obtained based on hyperspectral satellite imagery to generate plastic types, and then using these identified plastic coverage areas, a deep learning algorithm is used to assign functionality to these classified plastic areas based on sentinel-2 imagery. By comparing five leading-edge image classification models, classification accuracies of up to 74% were achieved, demonstrating the feasibility of using deep learning models trained on satellite images to identify plastic features.
