Sumario:With the increasing number of underwater pipeline investigation activities, the research on automatic pipeline detection is of great significance. At this stage, object detection algorithms based on Deep Learning (DL) are widely used due to their abilities to deal with various complex scenarios. However, DL algorithms require massive representative samples, which are difficult to obtain for pipeline detection with sub-bottom profiler (SBP) data. In this paper, a zero-shot pipeline detection method is proposed. First, an efficient sample synthesis method based on SBP imaging principles is proposed to generate samples. Then, the generated samples are used to train the YOLOv5s network and a pipeline detection strategy is developed to meet the real-time requirements. Finally, the trained model is tested with the measured data. In the experiment, the trained model achieved a mAP@0.5 of 0.962, and the mean deviation of the predicted pipeline position is 0.23 pixels with a standard deviation of 1.94 pixels in the horizontal direction and 0.34 pixels with a standard deviation of 2.69 pixels in the vertical direction. In addition, the object detection speed also met the real-time requirements. The above results show that the proposed method has the potential to completely replace the manual interpretation and has very high application value.
