Detecting vessels engaging in illegal activities is of paramount importance for maritime security. One of the major goals is to detect dark vessels, ships that disable their transponders to evade surveillance.
arXiv:2510. 23798v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The proliferation of floating anthropogenic debris in rivers has emerged as a pressing environmental concern, exerting a detrimental influence on biodiversity, water quality, and human activities such as navigation and recreation.

Timely, high-resolution maps of flood extent around settlements are essential for emergency response and damage assessment. We consider airborne RGB imagery for flood mapping as it can be collected rapidly at low cost.
arXiv:2607. 00270v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Algorithm development for radioisotope identification in mobile urban search scenarios face significant challenges from non-uniform backgrounds, momentary source encounters, and severe class imbalance between rare threat signatures and background measurements.
