Oil spill Monitoring: Segmentation of Satellite Imagery

One-line Description

This is a Python notebook which crops a SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) image of a possible oil slick and tries to determine - using simple image statistics - if it's an actual oil spill or a look-alike.

Background

This OHW project is the first stage of a greater software project to automate identifying oil spills from satellite imagery called Project SisMOM - Oil Monitoring System at Sea.

Goals

The main idea of this project is to automate the process of identifying a possible oil slick in a satellite image, which involves these main steps:

  1. Loading: Reading the satellite image file(s)
  2. Cropping: efficient pre-processing, such as a simple statistical analysis (e.g. histogram), to identify possible oiled areas and crop them into patches
  3. Segmentation: segment the oiled areas from the patches (future)
  4. Presentation: visualize the segments: make a list, save metadata (future)

Datasets

The images used were taken from a SAR-2000 imaging sensor on the second COSMO-SkyMed satellite called CSKS2.
