New SandBoilNet framework improves levee inspection accuracy

Researchers have developed a new framework for sand-boil segmentation in earthen levees, addressing the scarcity of annotated data. The proposed method, Updated SandBoilNet, improves accuracy by preventing data leakage during ensemble weight tuning and synthetic image generation. While the calibrated stack did not outperform the strongest single model, a filtered synthetic pool enhanced performance, and a novel mask-conditioned synthesis route generates labeled training images at no annotation cost.

    Leak-Free Cross-Validated Stacking with Per-Architecture Calibration for Sand-Boil Segmentation in Earthen Levees

    arXiv:2607.25367v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Sand boils, points where water seeping beneath an earthen levee re-emerges at the surface, are early warnings of internal erosion, and deep segmentation networks are increasingly used to find them in inspection photographs. Annotate…
