One Operational Visual Method for Oil Spill Detection by SAR Image

Article Preview

Abstract:

SAR has been proven to be a useful tool for ocean oil spill detection due to its large coverage, independence of the day and night cycle and all-weather capability. In this paper, one operational visual method for oil spill detection using SAR image was performed and the oil spill key information, such as the location and coverage, has also been demonstrated. The results show that the operational visual method of oil spill detection by SAR image will play an important role in the marine environment protection.
