Real-Time Detection and Segmentation of Oceanic Whitecaps via EMA-SE-ResUNet



Oceanic whitecaps are caused by wave breaking and are very important in air–sea interactions. Usually, whitecap coverage is considered a key factor in representing the role of whitecaps. However, the accurate identification of whitecap coverage in videos under dynamic marine conditions is a tough task. An EMA-SE-ResUNet deep learning model was proposed in this study to address this challenge.

Based on a foundation of residual network (ResNet)-50 as the encoder and U-Net as the decoder, the model incorporated efficient multi-scale attention (EMA) module and squeeze-and-excitation network (SENet) module to improve its performance. By employing a dynamic weight allocation strategy and a channel attention mechanism, the model effectively strengthens the feature representation capability for whitecap edges while suppressing interference from wave textures and illumination noise.

The model’s adaptability to complex sea surface scenarios was enhanced through the integration of data augmentation techniques and an optimized joint loss function. By applying the proposed model to a dataset collected by a shipborne camera system deployed during a comprehensive fishery resource survey in the northwest Pacific, the model results outperformed main segmentation algorithms, including U-Net, DeepLabv3+, HRNet, and PSPNet, in key metrics: whitecap intersection over union (IoUW) = 73.32%, pixel absolute error (PAE) = 0.081%, and whitecap F1-score (F1W) = 84.60.

Compared to the traditional U-Net model, it achieved an absolute improvement of 2.1% in IoUW while reducing computational load (GFLOPs) by 57.3% and achieving synergistic optimization of accuracy and real-time performance. This study can provide highly reliable technical support for studies on air–sea flux quantification and marine aerosol generation.

Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds! Detecting co-resident attacks in 5G clouds involves identifying malicious activities where attackers share physical cloud resources with victims to steal data or disrupt services. Techniques like machine learning, behavioral analysis, and resource monitoring help detect unusual patterns, ensuring stronger security and privacy in 5G cloud environments. Detecting Co-Resident Attacks in 5G Clouds In a 5G cloud environment, many different users (including businesses and individuals) share the same physical infrastructure through virtualization technologies like Virtual Machines (VMs) and containers. Co-resident attacks occur when a malicious user manages to place their VM or container on the same physical server as a target. Once co-residency is achieved, attackers can exploit shared resources like CPU caches, memory buses, or network interfaces to gather sensitive information or launch denial-of-service (DoS) attacks. Why are Co-Resident Attack...

Network Architecture

An introduction to satellite network architecture Satellite networking is a digital revolution that connects people from across the world instantly -- from enabling real-time communications to making the world a safer place. A satellite is an artificial object put into the Earth's orbit to gather and distribute crucial data. Since the late 1950s, satellites have only transmitted and received data, as bent pipe satellites weren't able to perform other functions. In modern times, a group of satellites in the same orbit forms a satellite network. Satellite networks process data and provide accurate visual and textual information. Unlike terrestrial network infrastructure, satellite network scalability isn't limited by geography and cost. According to a March 2025 report from Goldman Sachs, the global satellite market is expected to hit $108 billion by 2035, growing sevenfold from its current valuation. Satellite networks consist of the following: The ground equipment. The sa...
