Intelligent Vision-Enabled Detection of Water-Surface Targets for Video Surveillance in Maritime Transportation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The timely, automatic, and accurate detection of water-surface targets has received significant attention in intelligent vision-enabled maritime transportation systems. The reliable detection results are also beneficial for water quality monitoring in practical applications. However, the visual image quality is often inevitably degraded due to the poor weather conditions, potentially leading to unsatisfactory target detection results. The degraded images could be restored using state-of-the-art visibility enhancement methods. It is still difficult to generate high-quality detection performance due to the unavoidable loss of details in restored images. To alleviate these limitations, we first investigate the influences of visibility enhancement methods on detection results and then propose a neural network-empowered water-surface target detection framework. A data augmentation strategy, which synthetically simulates the degraded images under different weather conditions, is further presented to promote the generalization and feature representation abilities of our network. The proposed detection performance has the capacity of accurately detecting the water-surface targets under different adverse imaging conditions, e.g., haze, low-lightness, and rain. Experimental results on both synthetic and realistic scenarios have illustrated the effectiveness of the proposed framework in terms of detection accuracy and efficacy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
