Registrations are open for Hackathon on Plastic-Free Rivers with AI towards Sustainability at Reva University for the year 2023. The last date of registration is 9 July.
Let’s create a ripple effect of change by harnessing the power of AI to protect our rivers and water bodies. Participate in this exciting AI Hackathon and help us positively impact the environment. The goal of this Hackathon is to create new technologies and strategies to reduce plastic waste and create healthier and more sustainable rivers and oceans. This Hackathon is aligned with Sustainable Development Goals – SDG 14 life below water, conserving and sustainably using marine resources.
The problem statement of this hackathon is to develop a reliable and efficient AI-based object detection algorithm using images captured via drones to detect plastic waste in rivers and other water bodies and, in turn, to reduce the negative impact of plastic pollution on the environment and human health.
The metadata of the UAV images includes geo-location information. The images are taken at an elevation approximately 10m above the water level.
