Oil Spills Detection from SAR Images Using Wavelets

Oil spills detection is an actual environmental problem. Oil spills can occur during ships’ oil and/or fuel leakage or in great catastrophes. Small leaks are hardly detectable. Early detection and monitoring of greater spills can be useful in damage suppression and control. A new oil spill detection algorithm is presented in the paper. The algorithm is based on wavelet analysis of the radar image and the data fusion of VTS data, which should correlate to the image processing results to obtain the validated detection. The proposed algorithm exploits both the approximation and the details of the wavelet decomposition.
