The proposed system presents an intelligent and automated boat-based monitoring solution designed for the detection and identification of microplastics in water bodies. This system integrates advanced image processing techniques, embedded control systems, wireless communication, andIoT-basedmonitoringtoensureaccurate detectionandreal-timedatatransmissionfor environmental protection. In this system, MATLAB is utilized to process boat- captured images from a predefined dataset. The image processing stage plays a crucial role in analyzing water surface images to detect the presence of microplastics. A Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) algorithmisimplementedforefficientfeature extraction and classification. The CNN model automatically learns important visual patterns such as shape, texture, and colour
variations, which are essential for distinguishing microplastics from other floatingparticles.Additionally,colour-based segmentation techniques are incorporated to improve detection accuracy by isolating plastic materials based on their spectral characteristics. This combination of deep learning and colour analysis enhances the reliability and precision of microplastic identification.
The overall system operation is controlled by an ESP32 microcontroller, whichservesasthecentralprocessingunitof the boat system. The ESP32 manages all connected sensors and coordinates real-time data acquisition and processing. Its high processing speed, built-in Wi-Fi capability, andlowpowerconsumptionmakeitsuitable forembeddedmarineapplications.The
