"Naval Mine Detection and Seabed Segmentation in Sonar Images with Deep" by Luca Russo
Underwater mines are a cost-effective method in asymmetric warfare, and are commonly used to block shipping lanes and restrict naval operations. Consequently, they threaten commercial and military vessels, disrupt humanitarian aids, and damage sea environments. There is a strong international interest in using sonars and AI for mine countermeasures and undersea surveillance. High-resolution imaging sonars are well-suited for detecting underwater mines and other targets. Compared to other sensors, sonars are more effective for undersea environments with low visibility. This project aims to inve...
