A Distributed Acoustic Sensing Dataset for Vessel Detection and Localization in Submarine Cable Protection

arXiv:2607. 28306v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent incidents of accidental damage and suspected sabotage to submarine telecommunication and power cables, particularly in the Baltic Sea, have underscored their vulnerability and the need for continuous monitoring solutions.

Autonomous Subsea Cable Search and Tracking with Graph-Optimised Priors and Visual Tracking

Global communications rely on subsea cable infrastructure that remains vulnerable to damage from natural hazards and human activity. Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) offer an efficient means to inspect long sections of exposed cable, but uncertainty in cable route maps, small cable diameters and partial burial makes continuous tracking a challenge.

Strip Convolution and Direction-Aware Exclusion Loss for Oriented Ship Detection

The paper introduces a new oriented ship detector that combines a C3k2_Strip module, which uses orthogonal strip convolutions to better capture elongated hull structures, with a Class-Aware Direction-Aware Exclusion Loss (CA-DAEL) that suppresses redundant predictions by leveraging class, direction, and confidence cues. Experiments on HRSC2016 and DIOR-R datasets show the method achieving 78.45% and 53.71% mAP50:95, respectively, with only 2.91M parameters. On HRSC2016, the approach outperforms the YOLOv11-OBB baseline by 6.32 percentage points in mAP50:95, highlighting its effectiveness for accurate oriented ship detection.

AquaBEV: Monocular Underwater BEV Occupancy with 3D Sonar Supervision

AquaBEV is a monocular underwater occupancy model that predicts local bird’s‑eye‑view (BEV) occupancy from a single RGB image. It uses paired 3D imaging sonar data as geometric supervision during training, mapping visual features into a calibration‑free polar representation and decoding along the range dimension before reconstructing Cartesian BEV coordinates. In a controlled underwater occupancy benchmark, AquaBEV outperforms the strongest transferred baseline with 31.4 % Visible IoU and 38.6 % Observed IoU, achieving 4.0 % and 4.3 % relative improvements respectively.
