Machine-learning classification of SAR remotely-sensed sea-surface petroleum signatures—Part 1: Training and testing cross validation
Sea-surface petroleum pollution is observed as “oil slicks”(ie,“oil spills” or “oil seeps”) and
can be confused with “look-alike slicks”(ie, environmental phenomena, such as low-wind …
