Comparative Analysis of Deep Learning Models for Underwater Trash Detection: A Study of R-CNN, YOLO, SSD, and DeepLabv3+
摘要
Underwater trash detection plays an important area of marine conservation, undoing the environmental effects of pollution. This study compares the performance of four deep learning architectures—R-CNN, YOLO, SSD, and DeepLabv3+ —for object detection and classification of underwater trash. The models were tested for accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score to determine their real-world applications. DeepLabv3+ performed the best with 94.34% accuracy and an F1-score of 91.16%, with excellent performance in pixel-wise segmentation and small object detection in challenging underwater environments. While YOLO and SSD offer speed and efficiency for real-time applications, R-CNN offers accurate object localization but suffer from occlusions. The results enhance automatic marine trash detection, paving the way for real-time applications in underwater surveillance and cleanup operations.
