description In marine security and surveillance, accurately identifying ships and ship ports from satellite imagery remains a critical challenge due to the inefficiencies and inaccuracies of conventional approaches. The proposed method uses an enhanced YOLO (You Only Look Once) model, a robust real-time object detection method. The method involves training the YOLO model on an extensive collection of annotated satellite images to detect ships and ship ports accurately. The proposed system delivers a precision of 86% compared to existing methods; this approach is designed to allow for real-time deployment in the context of resource-constrained environments, especially with a Jetson Nano edge device. This deployment will ensure scalability, efficient processing, and reduced reliance on central computing resources, making it especially suitable for maritime settings in which real-time monitoring is vital. The findings of this study, therefore, point out the practical implications of this improved YOLO model for maritime surveillance: offering a scalable and efficient solution to strengthen maritime security.
