The evolution of maritime surveillance is significantly marked by the incorporation of Artificial Intelligence and machine learning into Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). This paper presents an AI approach for detecting and tracking unmanned surface vehicles, specifically leveraging an enhanced version of YOLOv8, fine-tuned for maritime surveillance needs. Deployed on the NVIDIA Jetson TX2 platform, the system features an innovative architecture and perception module optimized for real-time operations and energy efficiency. Demonstrating superior detection accuracy with a mean Average Precision (mAP) of 0.99 and achieving an operational speed of 17.99 FPS, all while maintaining energy consumption at just 5.61 joules. The remarkable balance between accuracy, processing speed, and energy efficiency underscores the potential of this system to significantly advance maritime safety, security, and environmental monitoring.
人工智能和机器学习被集成到无人水面舰艇(USV)中,这显著标志着海上监视的发展。本文提出了一种用于检测和跟踪无人水面舰艇的人工智能方法,具体是利用为满足海上监视需求而进行微调的增强版YOLOv8。该系统部署在NVIDIA Jetson TX2平台上,具有创新的架构和为实时操作及能源效率而优化的感知模块。其平均精度均值(mAP)为0.99,展现出卓越的检测精度,运行速度达到17.99帧每秒,同时能耗仅为5.61焦耳。在精度、处理速度和能源效率之间实现了显著平衡,凸显了该系统在大幅提升海上安全、安保及环境监测方面的潜力。
