Researchers have developed a new data augmentation framework to enhance the performance of object detection models in challenging underwater environments. This probabilistic framework utilizes a pseudo-simulated annealing-based algorithm, inspired by copy-paste augmentation techniques, to create more realistic and dense training scenarios. Applied to the DeepFish dataset and tested against a baseline YOLOv10 model, the method demonstrated significant improvements in detecting fish in complex, real-world underwater scenes, particularly from live-stream footage.
