Paper Abstract
Remote sensing is an effective tool to monitor oil spills. The theory of oil spill remote sensing is based on the differences
between oil slick and other environmental objects. For optical sensor, the ability of different bands to find oil film at sea
is different. Oil spill object could be intensified by composing appropriate bands. In addition, image enhancements could
also strengthen oil spill features. For SAR, image characteristics of oil spill are crucial to oil detection. Applications
show that sensors loaded on satellite can find oil slick at sea. Optical sensor and SAR have their own advantages, and
play different roles in oil spill remote sensing. It is necessary to integrate them to establish an all-weather,
omnidirectional 3-D monitoring network for monitoring oil spills and illicit vessel discharges.
