SonarVoxNet: Diver Detection in 3D Bounding Box using 3D Sonar
SonarVoxNet is a system designed to detect divers in 3D using sparse, noisy sonar data by predicting full 9-DoF oriented bounding boxes. It achieves this by using a voxel-based encoder and a detection head that outputs a continuous 6D rotation parameterization instead of just an upright orientation. This method significantly improves detection accuracy and orientation fidelity compared to previous methods.
