Abstract

Maritime transport plays a pivotal role in global trade, yet it faces challenges due to corrosion, which deteriorates metallic surfaces of vessels, leading to potential safety hazards and financial burdens. Traditional corrosion detection methods such as visual inspections are inefficient, time-consuming, and often subjective. This paper proposes a deep learning-based solution utilizing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect and assess corrosion on marine vessel surfaces. Our proposed solution not only automates the detection process but also enhances accuracy, ensuring early identification and effective management of corrosion. Through rigorous experimentation, the model demonstrated high accuracy, significantly improving the corrosion detection process for the maritime industry.
