arXiv:2608. 19710v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Reliable underwater robotic perception remains difficult because optical imagery degrades under turbidity, wavelength-dependent attenuation, low illumination, scattering, and blur.

The paper presents a three‑stage, parameter‑efficient approach to improve automatic target recognition (ATR) with synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) data by adapting DINOv3 Vision Transformers. Stage 1 applies Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) while freezing the backbone, which significantly boosts the area under the precision‑recall curve from 0.300 to 0.679. Subsequent hard‑negative mining and supervised contrastive learning stages show negligible impact, indicating that a single LoRA adaptation is sufficient for effective underwater ATR.
Infrared small target detection (IRSTD) is important for low-altitude perception, unmanned-system warning, and security monitoring. However, weak targets in infrared imagery usually occupy only a few pixels and are easily submerged by cloud clutter, ground edges, and bright noise, making it difficult for lightweight segmentation-based methods to preserve local target structures while suppressing background interference.

RSFusionDet introduces a new RGB‑Sonar multimodal object detection dataset (RSFusion) and benchmark metrics for underwater imaging. The proposed detector uses a Cross‑Attention Fusion module to align RGB and sonar features and an Object Matching Head with loss to identify identical objects across modalities. On the RSFusion dataset, RSFusionDet achieves 76.4/48.6 AP for RGB/sonar detection and 83.4 F1‑Score for cross‑modal matching, outperforming existing models and improving over the DINO baseline by 0.7/1.4 AP.
