Abstract: Adaptive Explainable Framework for Real-Time Underwater Pollutant Detection and Environmental Impact Assessment The present invention relates to an adaptive explainable framework for real-time underwater pollutant detection and environmental impact assessment using underwater imaging systems. The framework comprises an underwater imaging module for capturing aquatic environment images, a preprocessing module for enhancing image visibility under varying underwater conditions, a YOLO-based object detection module for detecting and localizing aquatic pollutants, and a segmentation module for extracting pollutant boundaries and spatial characteristics. An adaptive environmental learning module dynamically adjusts preprocessing, detection, and segmentation parameters according to turbidity, illumination variation, visibility fluctuation, and particulate interference. An explainable artificial intelligence module employing Grad-CAM and SHAP techniques generates visual and analytical explanations associated with pollutant detection decisions and provides feedback-based refinement for improving detection reliability and reducing false detections. A pollution assessment module determines pollutant density, distribution, severity level, and environmental impact metrics to generate continuous real-time environmental impact assessment outputs.
