This research perform detection of oil spill by comparing Markov random field, adaptive thresholding &
morphological closing techniques which results in less time consuming, oil spill tracking, oil spill area, dark patches and
spill patterns. This work helps to regular monitoring of oil in the ocean. This approach helps to find out which algorithm is
best suited for detection of oil spill and tracking. This work is carried out using ASAR RADARSAT-2 image. In this research
three images was captured and monitored for oil spill detection. These images belong to different days, angles and
polarization. By comparing these algorithms it results morphological closing techniques is best suited for analysing oil spill
in ASAR images.
