Autonomous Maritime Vessel Obstacle Detection with Thermal Infrared Vision
Water surface horizon detection and thermal infrared YOLO model detecting small boats, buoys, and swimmers in choppy waters.
Project Overview
Designed for Unmanned Surface Vessels (USV). Detects the dynamic sea-sky horizon line to stabilize imagery, then runs an infrared thermal detection model to spot low-profile obstacles, fishing nets, and floating debris even through heavy fog and nocturnal conditions.
