GENETIC ALGORITHM FOR OIL SPILL AUTOMATIC DETECTION FROM MULTISAR SATELLITE DATA

摘要

The main objective of this work is to design automatic detection procedures for oil spill in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellite data. In doing so the genetic algorithm tool was designed to investigate the occurrence of using ENVISAT and RADARSAT-2 SAR satellite data. The study shows that genetic algorithm provides accurate pattern of oil slick in SAR data. This shown by 90% for oil spill, 3% look-alike and 7% for sea roughness using the receiver -operational characteristics (ROC) curve. It can therefore be concluded genetic algorithm can be used as automatic tool for oil spill detection in ENVISAT ASAR and RADARSAT-2 SAR data.
