• Abstract: This paper proposes a thermal-infrared (TIR) remote target detection system for maritime rescue using deep learning and data augmentation. We established a self-collected TIR dataset consisting of multiple scenes imitating human rescue situations using a TIR camera (FLIR). Additionally, to address dataset scarcity and improve model robustness, a synthetic dataset from a 3D game (ARMA3) to augment the data is further collected. However, a significant domain gap exists between synthetic TIR and real TIR images. Hence, a proper domain adaptation algorithm is essential to overcome the gap. Therefore, we suggest a domain adaptation algorithm in a target-background separated manner from 3D game-to-real, based on a generative model, to address this issue. Furthermore, a segmentation network with fixed-weight kernels at the head is proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and provide weak attention, as remote TIR targets inherently suffer from unclear boundaries. Experiment results reveal that the network trained on augmented data consisting of translated synthetic and real TIR data outperforms that trained on only real TIR data by a large margin. Furthermore, the proposed segmentation model surpasses the performance of state-of-the-art segmentation methods.

  We propose a method of data generation in simulation using 3D synthetic environments and CycleGAN domain transfer. We compare this method of data generation to the popular NYUDepth V2 dataset by training a depth estimation model based on the DenseDepth structure using different training sets of real and simulated data. We evaluate the performance of the models on newly collected images and LiDAR depth data from a Husky robot to verify the generalizability of the approach and show that GAN-transformed data can serve as an effective alternative to real-world data, particularly in depth estimation.
