Oil Spill Monitoring and Damage Assessment via PolSAR Measurements

This study aims at describing the key role played by polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (polSAR) remotely sensed measurements for oil spill analyses. PolSAR measurements are shown to be useful to the interested user (e.g. local authorities,oil companies, etc.) to effectively manage three different services: surveillance (i.e. detecting illegal oil spills), remediation (i.e.providing in dept…
