Oil Spill Detection based on SAR and Metocean/Contextual Data Fusion
In this paper, an associative mapping data fusion approach to operational oil spill detection is investigated focusing on the combination of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery derived data, and ancillary information such as metocean and contextual data. The ancillary data related to the investigated area are processed together with the features of the detected dark objects extracted from the SAR image using Artificial Neural Networks, ultimately leading to the estimation of a reliability index of the oil spill detection. The detection reliability measure can be thought of as the likelihood of the object being an oil spill given the SAR, context and metocean available information.
