This research paper presents a study on improving the accuracy of human detection in maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) operations using YOLO (You Only Look Once) and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The authors utilize an augmented dataset to train their model, which allows for simulating different weather conditions and lighting scenarios. This approach enables the model to learn to differentiate between various objects, potentially enhancing the efficiency of SAR operations by improving detection accuracy. The study evaluates a robust dataset containing diverse elevations and geological locations, as well as data augmentation, which outperformed non-augmented models in terms of human recall scores (0.891-0.911) with an improvement rate of 3.4% on the YOLOv5l model.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The study aims to improve the accuracy of human detection in maritime SAR operations by training a YOLO model using an augmented dataset and evaluating its performance against a robust set of elevations and geological locations. The results show that models trained on this dataset outperform those without augmentation, with human recall scores ranging from 0.891 to 0.911.
