- Description
In this project, ARGANS developed the ‘WASP’ data processor, making use of Copernicus Sentinel-2 images to detect and catalogue the presence of filaments of floating marine debris with high probability of containing anthropogenic litter. Find out more here.
The project was funded through the Discovery element of ESA’s Basic Activities. It was selected through an Open Space Innovation Platform (OSIP) call for ideas on remote sensing of plastic marine litter.
