1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

It is of great significance to accurately detect ships on the ocean. To obtain higher detection performance, many researchers use deep learning to identify ships from images instead of traditional detection methods. Nevertheless, the marine environment is relatively complex, making it quite difficult to determine features of ship targets. In addition, many detection models contain a large amount of parameters, which is not suitable to deploy in devices with limited computing resources. The two problems restrict the application of ship detection. In this paper, firstly, an SAR ship detection dataset is built based on several databases, solving the problem of a small number of ship samples. Then, we integrate the SPP, ASFF, and DIOU-NMS module into original YOLOv3 to improve the ship detection performance. SPP and ASFF help enrich semantic information of ship targets. DIOU-NMS can lower the false alarm. The improved YOLOv3 has 93.37% mAP, 4.11% higher than YOLOv3 on the self-built dataset. Then, we use the MCP method to compress the improved YOLOv3. Under the pruning ratio of 80%, the obtained compressed model has only 6.7 M parameters. Experiments show that MCP outperforms NS and ThiNet. With the size of 26.8 MB, the compact model can run at 15 FPS on an NVIDIA TX2 embedded development board, 4.3 times faster than the baseline model. Our work will contribute to the development and application of ship detection on the sea.
