Development of Fast-RCNN based Dynamic Object Detection Using an Object Motion Tracking Device in Marine Environments

2020 Asia-pacific Journal of Convergent Research Interchange  
In this paper, we propose an obstacle identification system and a corresponding algorithm for object motion tracking. The object motion tracking device detects only ships rather than all objects so it can be applied to unmanned surface vehicles' operation in marine environments. When an obstacle is detected, the object motion tracking device identifies and tracks it in real-time according to its movement. Objects are recognized using the Fast-RCNN algorithm, and their positions are measured

A gimbal control method for a camera using only the image center and distance information of objects without using the camera's focus and zoom function was proposed. The control of the gimbal was made using serial communication based on the video system control architecture protocol, and object tracking was performed by placing the detected object toward the center of the image frame. The object tracking performance of the proposed object identification system has been verified using images in a limited environment.
