CANSURF: An ASV-View Can Dataset and Benchmark for Detection and Tracking of Surface-Level Debris

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.16774v1 Announce Type: new Surface-level marine debris remains a practical bottleneck for autonomous clean-up, where small, reflective targets (e.g., aluminum cans) must be detected at distance under glare, ripples, and partial submersion. This paper presents, an ASV vision system and a new surface-can dataset. The dataset comprises ~7.3k raw images extracted from videos and annotated with bounding boxes, expanded via ten augmentation types to ~57k
