About this service

The advantages of utilizing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery for maritime monitoring are widely recognized. SAR imagery, such as that provided by satellites like Sentinel-1, offers a reliable source of information with fine resolution in both space and time.
This frequent coverage is particularly advantageous for the timely detection of maritime incidents, such as oil spills.
By harnessing the potential of SAR imagery and combining it with machine learning-based detection algorithms, the identification of oil spills becomes a more efficient process. Machine learning algorithms trained on SAR imagery can distinguish between various features, enabling the accurate differentiation of oil spills from natural occurrences. The automation of this detection process enhances the speed and effectiveness of monitoring efforts.
