Hull First, Wake Second: Wake-Reliance Suppression for Robust Maritime Vessel Detection

HullWake is a new maritime vessel detection framework that prioritizes hull detection before wake analysis to address the wake-reliance problem. It separates hull evidence from wake context, extracts wake cues via bidirectional proposal-anchored corridors, and suppresses wake-dominant predictions through multiple supervisory strategies. The method is evaluated on a wake-oriented dataset and demonstrates improvements in overall AP, robustness to weak or no-wake vessels, reduction of wake-like false positives, and stability of confidence after wake attenuation.
