Improved YOLOv8n‐seg for Instance Segmentation of the Sonar Images of Marine Debris

open access: yesIET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
An improved YOLOv8n‐seg for instance segmentation of the sonar images of marine debris is proposed. In the improved YOLOv8n‐seg, a new backbone is designed by proposing and introducing the C2PC‐Cone to replace the module C2f in the backbone of YOLOv8n‐seg, and a new neck is designed by replacing the module C2f of YOLOv8n‐seg with the VoV‐GSCSP, and a ...

Dual Frequency Side Scan Sonar Image Fusion for Deep‐Learning Based Underwater Target Detection

open access: yesIET Radar, Sonar &Navigation, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
Traditional single‐frequency side‐scan sonar faces trade‐offs between imaging resolution and detection range, along with issues such as speckle noise and target–shadow coupling. To address these, this study proposes D2FNet, a dual‐domain fusion model integrating three key modules, which—tested on a new dataset of over 9000 paired sea‐trial images ...
