Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

Online First articles are published online here, before they appear in a journal issue. Online First articles are fully citeable, complete with a DOI. They can be cited, read, and downloaded. Online First articles are published as Open Access (OA) articles to make the latest research available as early as possible.

Open AccessArticles marked with this Open Access icon are Online First articles. They are freely available and openly accessible to all without any restriction except the ones stated in their respective CC licenses.

  • Improving maritime distress target detection through modelling and simulation with YOLOv5s and Next-ViT   Order a copy of this article
    by Xinbo Chang, Kun Liu, Zhen Liu 
    Abstract: To additionally raise the accuracy of maritime distress target detection, an improved YOLOv5s model with Next-ViT is proposed through modeling and simulation. In this model, Next-ViT is applied to extract representations, followed by adopting a neck network with spatial context pyramid and Focal-GIoU loss to identify the targets. To validate its effectiveness, extensive experiments are conducted on the sub-dataset of the SeaDronesSee dataset. Contrasted to the primary YOLOv5s model, the proposed model has promoted Recall, mAP0.5 and mAP0.5?0.95 by 9.2, 6.3 and 3.3 percentage points, respectively, demonstrating superior performance over existing models.
    Keywords: YOLOv5s model; target detection; Next-ViT; spatial context pyramid.
