Hyperspectral imaging and self-organizing map approach for non-destructive monitoring of microplastic contamination in sandy substrates
Microplastics (MPs) are a growing environmental concern, requiring effective methods for identification and quantification. This study develops and evaluates an application-oriented workflow combining near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (NIR-HSI) with a self-organizing map (SOM) and a percent-based expansion tolera...
