This research compares four algorithms for tracking of oil spills using satellite images. As we know oil spill is a
biggest issue in marine environment which effect marine life cycle. Comparing of algorithms take place which results in less
time consuming, oil spill tracking, oil spill area, dark patches and spill patterns. This work helps monitor and detect oil spill
in the sea. This approach helps to find out which algorithm is best suited for detection of oil spill with low time complexity.
This work is carried out using ASAR RADARSAT-2 image, which is capture from Gulf of Mexico region. Here morphological
closing techniques can be used as a good tool for monitoring and identifying the occurrence of oil spill.
