An uncontrolled usage of plastic leads to an accumulation in the environment posing a threat to flora and fauna, if not recycled correctly. The correct sorting and recycling of the most commonly available plastic types and an identification of plastic in the environment are important. Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy shows a high potential in sorting and identifying plastic types. A data-based and an image-based classification are investigated using python programming language to demonstrate the potential of a neural network based on fluorescence lifetime images to identify plastic types. The results indicate that the data-based classification has a higher identification accuracy compared to the image-based classification.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{WohlschlaegerVersenLaforsch2021, author = {Wohlschl{\"a}ger, Maximilian and Versen, Martin and Laforsch, Christian}, title = {Non-destructive evaluation of treated polyethylene terephthalate films by fluorescence lifetime imaging}, series = {2021 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS)}, booktitle = {2021 IEEE Sensors Applications Symposium (SAS)}, doi = {10.1109/SAS51076.2021.9530008}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The fluorescence decay time allows to identify and distinguish polymers from each other.
