The 4th Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi) is organized as part of CVPR 2026. This edition features five benchmark challenges with emphasis on both predictive accuracy and embedded real-time feasibility. This report summarizes the MaCVi 2026 challenge setup, evaluation protocols, datasets, and benchmark tracks, and presents quantitative results, qualitative comparisons, and cross-challenge analyses of emerging method trends. We also include technical reports from top-performing teams to highlight practical design choices and lessons learned across the benchmark suite. Datasets, leaderboards, and challenge resources are available at https://macvi.org/workshop/cvpr26.

Deep neural networks tend to underestimate uncertainty and produce overly confident predictions. Recently proposed solutions, such as MC Dropout and SDENet, require complex training and/or auxiliary out-of-distribution data. We propose a simple solution by extending the time-tested iterative reweighted least square (IRLS) in generalised linear regression. We use two sub-networks to parametrise the prediction and uncertainty estimation, enabling easy handling of complex inputs and nonlinear response. The two sub-networks have shared representations and are trained via two complementary loss functions for the prediction and the uncertainty estimates, with interleaving steps as in a cooperative game. Compared with more complex models such as MC-Dropout or SDE-Net, our proposed network is simpler to implement and more robust (insensitive to varying aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty).
