Temporal Context for Robust Maritime Obstacle Detection

Lojze Žust,Matej Kristan,Lojze Žust,Matej Kristan

Robust maritime obstacle detection is essential for fully autonomous unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). The currently widely adopted segmentation-based obstacle detection methods are prone to misclassification of object reflections and sun glitter as obstacles, producing many false positive detections, effectively rendering the methods impractical for USV navigation. However, water-turbulence-induc...
