Contrastive Learning-Based Haze Visibility Enhancement in Intelligent Maritime Transportation System
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence and big traffic data, the data-driven intelligent maritime transportation has received significant attention in both industry and academia. It is capable of improving traffic efficiency and reducing traffic accidents in maritime applications. However, video cameras often suffer from severe haze weather, leading to degraded visual data and ineffective maritime surveillance. It is thus necessary to restore the visually degraded images and to guarantee maritime transportation efficiency and safety under hazy imaging conditions. In this work, a contrastive learning framework is proposed for haze visibility enhancement in intelligent maritime transportation systems. In particular, the proposed learning method could fully learn both local and global image features, which are beneficial for visual quality improvement. A total of 100 clean images containing water traffic scenes were selected as the synthetic test dataset, and good dehazing results were achieved on both visual and indexing results (e.g., peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR): <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M1"> <mn>23.95</mn> <mo>±</mo> <mn>3.48</mn> </math> and structural similarity index (SSIM): <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M2"> <mn>0.924</mn> <mo>±</mo> <mn>0.065</mn> </math> for different transmittance and atmospheric light values). In addition, extensive experiments on real-world 100 water hazy images demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method (e.g., natural image quality evaluator (NIQE): <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M3"> <mn>4.800</mn> <mo>±</mo> <mn>0.634</mn> </math> and perception-based image quality evaluator (PIQE): <math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" id="M4"> <mn>46.320</mn> <mo>±</mo> <mn>10.253</mn> </math> ). The enhanced images could be effectively exploited for promoting the accuracy and robustness of ship detection. The maritime traffic supervision and management could be accordingly improved in the intelligent transportation system.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
