The monitoring and mapping of these\nmeadows are fundamental tools for measuring their status. We present an\napproach based on a deep neural network to automatically perform a\nhigh-precision semantic segmentation of P.O. meadows in sea-floor images,\noffering several improvements over the state of the art techniques. Our network\ndemonstrates outstanding performance over diverse test sets, reaching a\nprecision of 96.57% and an accuracy of 96.81%, surpassing the reliability of\nlabelling the images manually. Also, the network is implemented in an\nAutonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), performing an online P.O. segmentation,\nwhich will be used to generate real-time semantic coverage maps.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1807.03117v2","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1807.03117v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"deep-semantic-segmentation-in-an-auv-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/srv/Posidonia-semantic-segmentation","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"tf","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"semantic-segmentation","task_name":"Semantic Segmentation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
