More Details: The rapid pace of urbanization underscores the importance of waste monitoring and management in urban planning and environmental conservation. Remote sensing technology enables the aerial observation of terrestrial and marine features, with high-resolution images revealing diverse objects. Deep learning techniques have gained prominence for enhancing waste monitoring precision and efficiency. This article surveys deep learning approaches for waste monitoring in remote sensing images, focusing on relevant datasets. It reviews existing remote sensing datasets, including those from uncrewed aerial vehicles and satellites, for monitoring solid waste and marine debris. Nine publicly available datasets are described in detail, highlighting their origins and applications. The monitoring methods include two kinds of methods: 1) semantic segmentation; and 2) object detection. Semantic segmentation focuses on pixel-level classification and boundary delineation, while object detection targets object-level localization and shape. Representative methods within these categories are explored, and benchmark results from recent studies are summarized to evaluate the performance of various techniques. The discussion addresses current limitations and suggests future research directions, aiming to assist researchers and professionals in environmental monitoring.
