Maritime Detection & Geospatial Evaluation
Maritime inference, tested against its limits.
Research project01 / The problem
Satellite vessel detections must be geolocated and evaluated against explicit reference conditions before their usefulness can be assessed.
02 / My approach
The public evaluation investigates geolocation, image preprocessing, confidence thresholds, and detector weights against AIS-derived reference data.
- SAR imagery
- Geolocation
- Detection
- AIS-based evaluation
03 / Engineering decisions
- Inspect geolocation before interpreting detection quality.
- Publish weak detector results and failure analysis.
- Separate scene-specific evaluation from operational readiness.
04 / Results & current state
Research pipeline; a publicly operating service is not verified.
SAR detection investigation
Historical report: 2026-08-18. Date stated in the evaluation report
The report documents low recall for the original YOLOv8 configuration and compares an alternative detector. Read the report for scene and threshold conditions.
Original maritime evaluation report05 / Limits of the evidence
Historical evaluation reports substantial detector limitations; engineering work does not establish operational readiness. Results are specific to the report’s scenes, vessel-size filters, thresholds, and AIS-derived reference data; not general maritime detection accuracy.
