“…Conventional image‐processing methods (Jin et al, 2020; Park et al, 2015; Sinisterra et al, 2017; Zhang et al, 2017) or deep learning‐based detection methods (Chen et al, 2021; Hammedi et al, 2019; Lee et al, 2021; Liu et al, 2021; Moosbauer et al, 2019; Nita & Vandewal, 2020; Spraul et al, 2020) have been suggested, and some studies (Bovcon et al, 2021; Prasad et al, 2017; Shao et al, 2018) have provided data sets for training and validating the object‐detection algorithms. LiDAR (Jeong & Li, 2021; Lin et al, 2022; Thompson et al, 2019) and radar (Almeida et al, 2009; Ha et al, 2021; Im et al, 2021) have also been used to detect maritime obstacles. Unlike the camera which is technically a bearing‐only sensor, LiDAR and radar provide both range and bearing measurements.…”
