DESCRIPTION:Marine oil pollution monitoring is a topic of great applicative
  and scientific relevance. Use of remotely sensed measurements is of speci
 al interest and\, in particular\, the SAR because of its almost all-weathe
 r and all-day imaging capability at fine spatial resolution is the most ef
 fective tool. Conventional single-polarization SAR oil spill monitoring te
 chniques are limited in their capability to detect oil slicks since they s
 trongly rely on suitable thresholds\, training samples\, and ancillary inf
 ormation. Hence\, an expert image analyst is due. The launch of a number o
 f polarimetric SAR missions\, along with the understanding of the peculiar
  physical mechanisms governing the scattering by an oil slick\, led to a n
 ew paradigm (known as physical processing) that fostered a set of polarime
 tric algorithms particularly robust and efficient. Hence\, suitable polari
 metric models that exploit the departure from the slick-free sea Bragg sca
 ttering have been developed to effectively address oil slick monitoring. A
  set of polarimetric features extracted following such electromagnetic mod
 els have been proved to be reliable for oil slick monitoring. Polarimetric
  SAR observations led to a significant improvement in sea oil slick observ
 ation since they allow distinguishing oil slicks from a broad class of loo
 kalikes in an unsupervised way.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Aerospace and Electron
