OIL SPILL DETECTION USING ACTIVE CONTOUR TECHNIQUE
Keywords:
Oil spill, Active contour, pattern, tracking, RADARSAT-2Abstract
This research work determines oil spill detection using active contour technique. This work is carried out
using ASAR RADARSAT-2 image, which is capture from Gulf of Mexico region. Active contour describe boundary and shape
in Synthetic aperture radar images. It is also known as snakes. It solves problems based on boundary with its shape and also
helps to monitor image noise with motion tracking. Active contour works on adaptive and autonomous search, Gaussian
smoothing in images. Here active contour techniques can be used as a good tool for monitoring and identifying the
occurrence of oil spill and Synthetic aperture radar image serves as a good sensor for surveying of oil spill. In conclusion,
active contour serves as excellent method for detection of oil spill with low time complexity
