RiverWatch
from 23/10/2023 until 28/02/2026
RiverWatch entails a novel monitoring paradigm, which allows for more flexible data collection and processing exploiting low-cost cameras installed along the river network as well as smartphone cameras. Image acquisition can be performed by any citizen with a mobile phone where the RiverWatch app is installed or by operators that perform systematic monitoring of a given cross-section. Our algorithms identify and classify buoyant plastic objects through advanced computer vision.
Aim
RiverWatch aims to develop a new disruptive monitoring infrastructure for detecting buoyant plastics in rivers integrating citizen science.
