Abstract

In this paper, a review of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)-based techniques, for oil slick at sea observation is proposed. Compared with traditional on-site oil spill monitoring, the use of remote sensing technology has the possibility quickly and accurately find an oil spill area. Currently, for detection the marine oil spill are usually used two types - optical and synthetic aperture radar SAR remote sensing imagery. Among all satellite sensors, SAR is still the most utilized for operational oil spill detection. SAR represents a fundamental tool due to its almost all-weather and all-day imaging capability, providing synoptic maps of the observed scene with a fine spatial resolution and a dense revisit time.
