Remote Sensing, Vol. 11, Pages 1698: Oil Spill Segmentation in Ship-Borne Radar Images with an Improved Active Contour Model (Remote Sensing)
 


Oil spills cause serious damage to marine ecosystems and environments. The application of ship-borne radars to monitor oil spill emergencies and rescue operations has shown promise, but has not been well-studied. This paper presents an improved Active Contour Model (ACM) for oil film detection in ship-borne radar images using pixel area threshold parameters. After applying a pre-processing scheme with a Laplace operator, an Otsu threshold, and mean and median filtering, the shape and area of the oil film can be calculated rapidly. Compared with other ACMs, the improved Local Binary Fitting (LBF) model is robust and has a fast calculation speed for uniform ship-borne radar sea clutter images. The proposed method achieves better results and higher operation efficiency than other automatic and semi-automatic methods for oil film detection in ship-borne radar images. Furthermore, it provides a scientific basis to assess pollution scope and estimate the necessary cleaning materials during oil spills.
