Oil spill, pattern, ASAR RADARSAT-2, Morphological TechniquesAbstract
This research perform detection of oil spill by comparing adaptive thresholding , morphological closing
techniques and histogram based segmentation 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.
