A Precise Semantic Segmentation Model for Seabed Sediment Detection Using YOLO-C

Semantic segmentation methods have been successfully applied in seabed sediment detection. However, fast models like YOLO only produce rough segmentation boundaries (rectangles), while precise models like U-Net require too much time. In order to achieve fast and precise semantic segmentation results...

description Semantic segmentation methods have been successfully applied in seabed sediment detection. However, fast models like YOLO only produce rough segmentation boundaries (rectangles), while precise models like U-Net require too much time. In order to achieve fast and precise semantic segmentation results, this paper introduces a novel model called YOLO-C. It utilizes the full-resolution classification features of the semantic segmentation algorithm to generate more accurate regions of interest, enabling rapid separation of potential targets and achieving region-based partitioning and precise object boundaries. YOLO-C surpasses existing methods in terms of accuracy and detection scope. Compared to U-Net, it achieves an impressive 15.17% improvement in mean pixel accuracy (mPA). With a processing speed of 98 frames per second, YOLO-C meets the requirements of real-time detection and provides accurate size estimation through segmentation. Furthermore, it achieves a mean average precision (mAP) of 58.94% and a mean intersection over union (mIoU) of 70.36%, outperforming industry-standard algorithms such as YOLOX. Because of the good performance in both rapid processing and high precision, YOLO-C can be effectively utilized in real-time seabed exploration tasks.
