 hetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an imaging microwave coherent sensor that ca
 n be operated from space to monitor marine and maritime activities. One of
  the most important operational services that is in place is related to th
 e observation of oil spills at sea. The presence of an oil spill changes t
 he backscattering behavior that is manifested by a dark area in the SAR im
 age plane. Image analysis suggests “natural” recipes to detect dark ar
 eas and classify as oil spills. Human experts and nowadays AI can be emplo
 yed on such a track.\n\nIs this the end of the Story? The end of Electroma
 gnetics? In the seminar it will be shown another approach\, the “physica
 l processing” that is able to effectively detect oil spills by means of 
 polarimetric SAR measurements and proper backscattering modelling.\n\nBio:
