progetto ESA-PLP
Programme: Tender ESA
Project title: Plastic Litter Project: Detection and monitoring of artificial plastic targets with satellite imagery and UAV
Acronym: ESA-PLP
Duration: 01/06/2020 – 30/05/2022
Total budget: € 175.000
ISMAR budget: € 35.000
Web site: n.a.
Summary:
This project is for designing and deploying permanent at-sea infrastructure andre-deployable target structures, with polymer composition representative of what is reported in the literature, for the calibration and validation of marine debris detection methodologies. Multi- and hyper-spectral imagery from UAV mounted cameras will form part of the datasets produced. All data will be stored on a database to be shared with the scientific community upon request.
