Underwater detection plays a crucial role in navy operations, scientific research, and infrastructure maintenance. According to recent reports, over 14 million tons of plastic enter the ocean annually, severely affecting marine biodiversity. Traditional underwater monitoring primarily relies on sonar and remotely operated vehicles, which are often expensive and time-consuming. By incorporating real-time object detection and tracking, Computer vision for underwater detection enhances precision and speed in marine applications. Models like YOLO11 are at the forefront of revolutionizing underwater detection, providing innovative solutions to longstanding challenges. In this blog, we will explore the limitations of traditional methods and the transformative potential of AI-driven computer vision in marine environments. Challenges in Underwater Detection Despite technological advancements, underwater monitoring still faces several challenges: Restricted Visibility Suspended particles and m...
