Abstract

In this paper, the authors propose an innovative technique which is applied to the sea Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery in order to aid the detection of the oil tankers responsible for oil spills. This technique aims to identify these oil spills and to correlate them to the detected ships. Real data acquired from COSMO-SkyMed (CSK) system have been processed to verify the effectiveness of this proposed new algorithm.
