摘要：An Underwater Autonomous Vehicle for Plastic Detection is a system developed to navigate underwater to identify plastics in the water bodies. The system has been built with materials which gives it the capability to submerge up to five metres underwater. Our system proposes to detect the presence of plastic bodies underwater in real time with the help of an onboard camera which relays the data back to the user. The system is tethered with wires which also serves as a medium for communication and power supply to the system. An improvised electric thruster from bilge pumps controls the movement of the system. A CNN algorithm is designed to perform predictions from the input supplied by the onboard camera. The model is trained with a dataset consisting of images of plastic, trash, metal, glass and cardboard.
