Project Introduction

Designed to enhance target information perception for traditional marine radar systems, this project addresses key limitations of existing marine visual systems, including incomplete coverage, blurred imaging, and limited interpretability. By integrating computer vision technologies such as image stitching, image enhancement, and object detection, the system provides practical technical support for marine environmental perception. It promotes the intelligent upgrading of marine visual equipment while improving the accuracy and usability of environmental monitoring solutions.

With the theme “Scenario-Driven • Digital Intelligence Empowers the Nation,” the challenge aims to align with global trends in scientific and technological innovation and industrial transformation, while further advancing the innovation-driven development strategy and the national “Artificial Intelligence” action plan. In total, the competition awarded 12 Special Prizes, 36 First Prizes, and 45 Second Prizes.
