What is ShipGAN: Generative Adversarial Network based simulation-to-real image translation for ships about?

Recent advances in robotics and autonomous systems (RAS) have significantly improved the autonomy level of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) and made them capable of undertaking demanding tasks in various environments. During the operation of USVs, apart from normal situations, it is those unexpected scenes, such as busy waterways or navigation in dust/nighttime, impose most dangers to USVs as these scenes are rarely seen during training. Such a rare occurrence also makes the manual collection and recording of these scenes into dataset difficult, expensive and inefficient, with the majority of existing public available datasets not able to fully cover them. One of many plausible solutions is to purposely generate these data using computer vision techniques with the assistance from high-fidelity simulations that can create various desirable motions/scenarios. However, the stylistic difference between the simulation images and the natural images would cause a domain shift problem. Hence, there is a need for designing a method that can transfer the data distribution and styles of the simulation images into the realistic domain. This paper proposes and evaluates a novel solution to fill
