Development of Beach Litter Detection System using Deep Learning on Beach Clean-up

抄録

This paper proposed a deep learning-based beach litter detector specifically designed for assessing litter levels on beaches effectively. This litter detector was created utilizing a HTC, also known as the Hybrid Task Cascade network, and its performance was compared to that of the traditional mask R-CNN network in order to judge its effectiveness. The findings uncovered that the HTC network possessed heightened sensitivity towards small and tiny litters taken within the RGB colored images.
