چکیده
The 4th Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) oceanography workshop, SEASAR 2012, entitled "Advances in SAR Oceanography", was held in Tromsø, Norway, 18 to 22 June 2012. This paper describes the consensus on the state-of-the-art and gives a look ahead into the future on the field of radar remote sensing of oil slicks.

Automatic detection of oil spills in ERS SAR images
We present algorithms for the automatic detection of oil spills in SAR images. The developed framework consists of first detecting dark spots in the image, then computing a set of features for each dark spot, before the spot is classified as either an oil slick or a “lookalike” (other oceanographic phenomena which resemble oil slicks). The classification rule is constructed by combining statist...
متن کاملDetection of Oil near Shorelines during the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill Using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)
During any marine oil spill, floating oil slicks that reach shorelines threaten a wide array of coastal habitats. To assess the presence of oil near shorelines during the Deepwater Horizon (DWH) oil spill, we scanned the library of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery collected during the event to determine which images intersected shorelines and appeared to contain oil. In total, 715 SAR ima...
متن کاملDetection and object-based classification of offshore oil slicks using ENVISAT-ASAR images.
The aim of this study is to propose and test a multi-level methodology for detection of oil slicks in ENVISAT Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) imagery, which can be used to support the identification of hydrocarbon seeps. We selected Andrusov Ridge in the Central Black Sea as the test study area where extensive hydrocarbon seepages were known to occur continuously. Hydrocarbon seepage f...
متن کاملMapping Oil Spills in the Asian Seas Using Sar Imagery and Gis
ABSTRACT: GIS can significantly contribute to correct interpretation of the signatures of slicks visible on synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, providing a basis for analysis. Proposed geoinformation approach to oil spill mapping is presented. It includes integration of the geographical, remote sensing, oil & gas infrastructure data and slick signatures, detected in SAR images, in GIS. Vario...
متن کاملSynthetic Aperture Radar for oil spill monitoring: a brief review
In this paper, a review of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)-based techniques, for oil slick at sea observation is proposed, focusing in particular on polarimetric approaches. In fact, marine oil pollution monitoring is a topic of great applicative and scientific relevance and in such a context, among all remote sensing sensors, SAR represents a fundamental tool due to its almost all-weather and a...
