Analysis flow of RiSIM

Caption

By applying three image and computational processes to a series of continuously captured videos, this method reveals how plastics are transported in rivers. (1) Flow velocity is measured using template matching. (2) Plastics are detected and classified into four categories by the object detection AI YOLOv8, and each item is tracked using the AI DeepSORT. (3) The measured flow velocity and tracking results are combined to calculate plastic transport volume—the number and mass of plastics carried per unit time.
