Oil Spill Detection Using Space-Borne Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery
Abstract
Operational monitoring of oil discharges using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images contributes significantly toward fewer occurrences of oil spills on the sea surface. Until now commercial satellites like ERS-1/2, ENVISAT, Radarsat-1/2, TerraSAR-X, and COSMO-SkyMed were used for this purpose. However, their data availability was challenging and required specific agreement with data providers along with acquisition planning for each scene. European Space Agency's Sentinel-1 satellite is about to change the role of remotely sensed data used ...
