● Q&A
Environmental Threat: Oil spills pose a serious threat to marine ecosystems, affecting
wildlife, water quality, and coastal communities, necessitating timely detection and
mitigation.
Delayed Detection: Traditional oil spill detection methods are often slow, labor-
intensive, and dependent on manual observation or limited satellite passes, leading to
delayed response times.
Limited Coverage: Current monitoring systems may lack real-time capability or have
limited spatial coverage, making it difficult to detect smaller or remote spills effectively.
Objectives
Integration with Response Systems: There is a lack of integration between
detection systems and emergency response frameworks, delaying containment and
cleanup operations once a spill is identified.
The objective of this project is to develop an automated and accurate oil spill detection
system using remote sensing data and machine learning techniques. It aims to enhance
detection accuracy, reduce false positives, and support timely response efforts to
minimize environmental impact and protect marine and coastal ecosystems.
1. The Application of Satellite Image Analysis in Oil Paweł Tysiąc, This study explores the use of satellite
Spill Detection Tatiana Strelets, imagery for detecting oil spills, emphasizing
Weronika Tuszyńska the effectiveness of synthetic aperture radar
(SAR) data in identifying oil slicks under
various environmental conditions.
2. Hyperspectral Remote Sensing Benchmark Puhong Duan, The paper introduces an unsupervised method
Database for Oil Spill Detection with an Isolation Xudong Kang, for oil spill detection using hyperspectral
Forest-Guided Unsupervised Detector Pedram Ghamisi imagery, by employing an Isolation Forest
algorithm. The approach effectively
distinguishes oil spills from seawater without
the need for extensive labeled datasets.
3. Variable-Complexity Machine Learning Models Mohammad Danesh- Developed and compared machine learning
for Large-Scale Oil Spill Detection: The Case of Yazdi. models—Support Vector Machine (SVM),
Persian Gulf Sahand Najafizadegan Random Forest (RF), and Convolutional Neural
Network (CNN), Found that CNN outperformed
RF and SVM, achieving a testing accuracy of
95.8%, indicating its robustness for large-scale
oil spill detection.
Scope of Work
Data Collection: Gather and preprocess satellite (SAR/optical) or drone-based images of oil spills and clean sea
surfaces.
Model Development: Design and train a machine learning or deep learning model capable of accurately identifying
oil spills.
Evaluation: Test model accuracy using performance metrics like precision, recall, F1-score, and confusion matrix.
Comparative Analysis: Compare different algorithms (e.g., SVM, CNN, Random Forest) to identify the most suitable
method.
Scalability: Investigate the model’s ability to be deployed at scale for large geographic areas using satellite data.
4) Robust Against Look-Alikes: Successfully distinguished between oil spills and similar features
like algae, ship wakes, and low-wind slicks in most test cases.
