Ship Detection in Maritime Scenes under Adverse Weather Conditions
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Point cloud-based detection focuses on land traffic, rarely marine, facing issues with ships: it struggles in bad weather due to reliance on adverse weather data and fails to detect ships effectively due to overlooking size and appearance differences. Addressing the above challenges, our work introduces point cloud data of marine scenarios under realistically simulated adverse weather conditions and a dedicated Ship Detector tailored for marine environments. To adapt to various maritime weather conditions, we simulate realistic rain and fog in collected marine scene point cloud data. Additionally, addressing the issue of losing geometric and height information during feature extraction for large objects, we propose a Ship Detector. It employs a dual-branch sparse convolution layer for extracting multi-scale 3D feature maps, effectively minimizing height information loss. Additionally, a multi-scale 2D convolution module is utilized, which encodes and decodes feature maps and directly employs 3D feature maps for target prediction. To reduce dependency on existing data and enhance model robustness, our training dataset includes simulated point cloud data representing adverse weather conditions. In maritime point cloud ship detection, our Ship Detector, compared to adjusted small object detectors, demonstrates the best performance.

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.
