Vision Transformer Outperforms CNNs in Maritime Ship Detection Study

A new study published on arXiv evaluates the effectiveness of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) and Vision Transformers (ViTs) for maritime security applications, specifically ship detection. The research utilized a dataset of 6,468 maritime images across various weather conditions and compared six deep learning architectures. Results indicated that while lightweight models are suitable for constrained environments, the Vision Transformer achieved superior performance with 100% accuracy and the fastest processing times.
