Abstract: Internal waves (IWs) play a crucial role in the transport of energy and matter within the ocean while also posing significant risks to marine engineering, navigation, and underwater communication systems. Consequently, effective segmentation methods are essential for mitigating their adverse impacts and minimizing associated hazards. A promising strategy involves applying remote sensing image segmentation techniques to accurately identify IWs, thereby enabling predictions of their propagation velocity and direction. However, current IWs segmentation models struggle to balance computational efficiency and segmentation accuracy, often resulting in either excessive computational costs or inadequate performance. Motivated by recent developments in the Mamba2 architecture, this paper introduces the state-space model meets linear attention (SMLA), a novel segmentation framework specifically designed for IWs. The proposed hybrid architecture effectively integrates three key components: a feature-aware serialization (FAS) block to efficiently convert spatial features into sequences; a state-space model with linear attention (SSM-LA) block that synergizes a state-space model with linear attention for comprehensive feature extraction; and a decoder driven by hierarchical fusion and upsampling, which performs channel alignment and scale unification across multi-level features to ensure high-fidelity spatial detail recovery. Experiments conducted on a dataset of 484 synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) images containing IWs from the South China Sea achieved a mean Intersection over Union (MIoU) of 74.3%, surpassing competing methods evaluated on the same dataset. These results demonstrate the superior effectiveness of SMLA in extracting features of IWs from SAR imagery. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
