The paper introduces ICIBS, a deep‑learning approach that enhances ice‑boundary segmentation by incorporating additional spatial and geo‑spatial context into the model. It reports state‑of‑the‑art performance on the IceAnatomy benchmark, achieving mean errors of 10.9 m (FAU subset) and 43.4 m (CReSIS subset), and demonstrates strong generalisation to new Patagonia data, outperforming baselines by 49.6 %. The authors provide the model code and dataset publicly on GitHub and Zenodo.

arXiv:2607. 04117v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: ERA5 seasonal climate variables contain predictive information about future glacier retreat beyond what satellite imagery alone provides, yet existing deep learning methods focus on mapping current boundaries rather than forecasting future ones.

The paper presents a weakly supervised semantic segmentation approach for mapping seagrass habitats using side‑scan sonar imagery. By training a ViT‑based encoder‑decoder with image‑level labels, class activation maps are refined into pseudo‑labels and iteratively self‑trained, achieving high mean intersection‑over‑union scores (up to 89.3 %) without pixel‑level annotations. The method also benefits from self‑supervised pretraining and demonstrates generalizability in field trials.

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.
