- Abstract:

The lack of understanding of the evolution process of ocean eddies is the main obstacle to current physical ocean research. To gain a better understanding of the mechanism of its generation, development, and variation process, as well as its interaction with multi-scale ocean processes, the automatic detection of ocean eddies is crucial. However, existing horizontal detection methods struggle to accurately detect ocean eddies due to their scale diversity, irregular shape, and dense distribution, leading to significant redundancy and overlap in the detection area. To address this issue, we propose a multi-scale rotation-dense feature pyramid network. The feature pyramid network is enhanced through dense connection (DFPN) for multi-scale high-level semantic feature extraction and fusion, improving feature propagation and reuse. To accommodate the dense distribution of ocean eddies, the R2CNN network is improved, and a multi-scale RoI Align mechanism is introduced to preserve feature semantics and spatial information integrity, thus improving model detection performance. We construct the ocean eddy dataset using sea-level anomaly data, which is preprocessed into VOC format for training. The parameters are adjusted to obtain the optimal detection model, and experimental results show that the model’s detection accuracy can reach 96.4%. The proposed model demonstrates good generalisability through the automatic detection of ocean eddies in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.
