Description
Summary:Underwater target detection exhibits extensive applications in marine target exploration and marine environmental monitoring. However, conventional images of underwater targets present challenges including blurred contour information, complex environmental conditions, and pronounced scattering effects. In this work, an underwater target detection method based on YOLOv10 is designed, and the detection performance is compared with the YOLOv5 model. Experimental results demonstrate that the YOLOv10 model has a mAP50 of 85.6% on the URPC 2020 dataset, improving the mAP50 by 1.2% than that of YOLOv5. This model exhibits high detection accuracy and high proceeding speed, which provides a promising support for precise and fast underwater target detection.
