As we all know, target detection and tracking are of great significance for marine exploration and protection. In this paper, we propose one Convolutional-Neural-Network-based target detection method named YOLO-Softer NMS for long-strip target detection on the water, which combines You Only Look Once (YOLO) and Softer NMS algorithms to improve detection accuracy. The traditional YOLO network structure is improved, the prediction scale is increased from threeto four, and a softer NMS strategy is used to select the original output of the original YOLO method. The performance improvement is compared totheFaster-RCNN algorithm and traditional YOLO methodin both mAP and speed, and the proposed YOLO–Softer NMS’s mAP reaches 97.09%while still maintaining the same speed as YOLOv3. In addition, the camera imaging model is used to obtain accurate target coordinate information for target tracking. Finally, using the dicyclic loop PID control diagram, the Autonomous Surface Vehicle is controlled to approach the long-strip target with near-optimal path design. The actual test results verify that our long-strip target detection and tracking method can achieve gratifying long-strip target detection and tracking results.
