Under this task, oil spills at sea shall be detected by means of remote sensing analysis of satellite data. Freely available data will be exploited first, data from the Copernicus program. Sentinel-1 SAR data will be employed, thanks to the effectiveness demonstrated in literature for these applications, and to the ability of its radar to penetrate clouds.
Under this task, oil spills at sea shall be detected by means of remote sensing analysis of satellite data. Freely available data will be exploited first, data from the Copernicus program. Sentinel-1 SAR data will be employed, thanks to the effectiveness demonstrated in literature for these applications, and to the ability of its radar to penetrate clouds. Optical data will eventually be considered too, Sentinel-2 and possibly Sentinel-3 and latest Landsat missions. Further missions will be considered for the task, too.
Furthermore, the maps thus produced will be made available in the cloud via the WASDI platform, and it will be possible to run the analysis on demand. WASDI ensures the interoperability of the platform with external systems, such as the rest of the PROMPT system by appropriate mechanisms, which include custom programming libraries and industry standards.
In conclusion, task-04 involves the use of satellite images to detect oil spills by means of remote sensing analysis of satellite data. Sentinel-1 SAR data will be employed, optical data will eventually be considered too, Sentinel-2 and possibly Sentinel-3 and latest Landsat missions. Eventually, the maps produced will be available in the cloud via the WASDI platform.
