Remote-sensing for oil spills is reviewed. The use of visible techniques is ubiquitous,
however it gives only the same results as visual monitoring. Oil has no particular spectral …

Airborne and space-borne sensors are reviewed and evaluated in terms of their usefulness
in responding to oil spills. Recent developments and trends in sensor technology are …

Oil pollution harms terrestrial ecosystems. There is an urgent requirement to improve on
existing methods for detecting, mapping and establishing the precise extent of oil-impacted …

Remote sensing for oil spills is assessed. The technical aspects of sensors are reviewed
and the benefits and limitations of each sensor are given. The use of visible techniques is …

Publisher Summary This chapter outlines several general reviews of oil spill remote sensing.
Massive spills of oil and related petroleum products can have serious biological and …

Oil spills from offshore drilling and coastal refineries often cause significant degradation of
coastal environments. Early oil detection may prevent losses and speed up recovery if …

Following the success of the first hyperspectral sensor, the evaluation of hyperspectral
image capability became a challenge in research, which mainly focused on improving …

The pixels of remote images often contain more than one distinct material (mixed pixels),
and so their spectra are characterized by a mixture of spectral signals. Since 1971, a shared …

Since the beginning of remote sensing observation, scientists have created a “toolbox” with
which to observe the varying dimensions of the Earth's dynamic surface. Hyperspectral …

Hyperspectral remote sensing is currently being used to detect and monitor marine oil spills
that cause damage to the environment. However, nonlinear interactions of oil and water …
