Marine pollution is increasing at an alarming rate and causing detrimental effects on the health of underwater flora and fauna. Anthropogenic activities are contaminating the natural water bodies which have adverse effects on humans as well as the environment. One of the main reasons for marine pollution are oil spills. An oil spill is the release of liquid petroleum hydrocarbons into the environment, especially the marine ecosystem. These oil spills are caused by accidents involving tankers, leaks from ships and natural disasters such as hurricanes, storm surge or high winds. The major threat to oceanic and costal environments is caused by the oil spills. Thus, oil spill detection is an important task that needs to be tackled. The Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an effective tool in checking the oil spills over a wide area and is capable of monitoring the ocean surface day and night in all-weather conditions. However, a visual check performed by human operators on a great number of images would be too expensive and time taking process. Therefore, a tool is required to detect the oil spills automatically. This project describes a software application using MATLAB for oil spills detection on the sea surface using SAR images with the help of three different algorithms namely CFAR detector, Fuzzy C means clustering algorithm and Canny edge detection method and compares their performance.
