Microplastic Detection with Deep Learning

Detects and counts microplastic particles in microscope images

4-5 weeks build

Overview

Microscope images of filtered water samples are analysed to find and count microplastic particles. A YOLOv8 detector trained on a public microplastic image dataset localises particles and sorts them by shape into fragments, fibres and films, and a size estimate from a scale calibration produces a per-sample distribution a lab can compare across sites.

What makes it stand up

  • 01Particle detection on microscope images
  • 02Shape classes for fragments, fibres and films
  • 03Pixel-to-micron calibration for size estimates
  • 04Per-sample counts and size histograms
  • 05Detection metrics and manual-count comparison in the report

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Imaging prep

    Contrast normalisation and tiling of large images.

  2. 02

    Detector

    YOLOv8 trained for particle shape classes.

  3. 03

    Calibration

    Scale bar reading for size in microns.

  4. 04

    Analysis

    Counts, size bins and sample comparison.
