New framework characterizes domain shift in underwater object detection

A new framework has been developed to characterize underwater images by appearance, scene composition, and acquisition geometry, enabling domain-specific labels. This approach allows for a systematic study of how domain factors impact both human annotation quality and the performance of deep learning detectors in underwater object detection tasks. The findings reveal significant domain-dependent discrepancies, suggesting that incorporating physically meaningful domain labels can help measure, benchmark, and address domain shift to improve data collection, annotation, and detector robustness in diverse underwater environments.
