Spectral reflectance of marine macroplastics in the VNIR and SWIR measured in a controlled environment

Abstract While at least 8 million tons of plastic litter are ending up in our oceans every year and research on marine litter detection is increasing, the spectral properties of wet as well as submerged plastics in natural marine environments are still largely unknown. Scientific evidence-based know...
