Fractal Dimension Algorithm for Detecting Oil Spills Using RADARSAT-1 SAR
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces a method for modification of the formula of the fractal box counting dimension. The method is based on the utilization of the probability distribution formula in the fractal box count. The purpose of this method is to use it for the discrimination of oil spill areas from the surrounding features e.g., sea surface and look-alikes in RADARSAT-1 SAR data. The result shows that the new formula of the fractal box counting dimension is able to discriminate between oil spills and look-alike areas. The low wind area has the highest fractal dimension peak of 2.9, as compared to the oil slick and the surrounding rough sea. The maximum error standard deviation of low wind area is 0.68 which performs with fractal dimension value of 2.9.

متن کاملComparison between Mahalanobis classification and neural network for oil spill detection using RADARSAT-1 SAR data
Oil spill or leakage into waterways and ocean spreads very rapidly due to the action of wind and currents. The study of the behavior and movement of these oil spills in sea had become imperative in describing a suitable management plan for mitigating the adverse impacts arising from such accidents. But the inherent difficulty of discriminating between oil spills and lookalikes is a main challen...
متن کاملOil-spills detection in SAR images by fractal dimension estimation - Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium, 1999. IGARSS '99 Proceedings. IEEE 1999 International
The paper describes a multi-resolution algorithm based on fractal geometry for texture analysis and detection of oil spills in SAR images. The multi-resolution approach reduces the problems of speckle and sea clutter and preserves subtle variations of oil slicks. The use of fractal dimension as a feature for classification improves the oil spill detection, since enhances texture discrimination....
متن کاملAutomatic Oil Spill Detection Based on Envisat, Radarsat and Ers Images
In this paper, we present algorithms for automatic detection of oil spills in SAR images. The algorithms have been trained on a large number of ERS, RADARSAT and ENVISAT images. The performance of the algorithms are compared to manual and semi-automatic approaches in a benchmark study involving 32 RADARSAT images and 28 ENVISAT ASAR images from 2003. Our algorithm performed well both on RADARSA...
