Oil Spills Detection on Sea Surface by using Sentinel–1 SAR Images

Identification of an oil spill is additionally essential to evaluate the potential spread and float from the source to the adjacent coastal terrains. In such manner, usage of Synthetic Aperture RADAR (SAR) information for the recognition and checking of oil spills has gotten extensive consideration as of late, because of their wide zone inclusion, day-night and all-weather capabilities.

 The present examination studies an oil spill occurred in some regions by applying Sentinel 1 SAR-C images. Approaches dependent on MATLAB images examination have been produced for distinguishing oil spills from referred to common leaks just as oil slick procedures.

In this project, one of these techniques is associated with Sentinel 1 images of a known region of natural oil leakage and of an ongoing oil slick in incident zone. The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is perceived as the most significant remote sensing apparatus for the ocean and ocean waters oil slick examination, recording, documentation and propagation. Results demonstrated the significance of the VV polarization of the Sentinel-1 for recognizing oil-spills just as the diminished utility of the VH polarization in this sole circumstance.
