Description
- Detection of oils in sea areas adjacent to the coast in order to generate alerts for potential beachings
Use case: triggering execution of beached oil characterization algorithms (product research CosteLab developed dl CNR-IMAA) - Method:
- This alert is the result of a semi-automatic operational chain and will be provided during the demonstration period of the project by identifying potentially stranding oil spills (proximity criterion with the coast) through the analysis of SAR data.
- For this alert, the operational chain will be used, based on the SEonSE platform of eGEOS , in external service mode provided by e-Geos
- The detected oil spill is segmented and characterized in terms of radiometric contrast and geometry
Operating scenarios
- Extraordinary monitoring
