ABSTRACT A combination of airborne and satellite-based remote sensing is currently used for operational oil-spill monitoring worldwide. The image processing techniques such as unwanted noise reduction, followed by feature extraction at low level to identify lines, regions, occurrences and its areas with certain textures are used to start the identification of object in an image. The idea is to have these shapes as a combination of single objects like trucks on a road, weights on a conveyor belt or cellular cells on a microscope slide. Space borne satellite-based synthetic aperture radar SAR images shows an overview of large ocean areas, and surveillance aircraft can be directed to check possible oil-spill locations and also to verify the spill and finally to catch the polluter. Oil-spill detection is most effectively performed on a large scale using SAR images due to its allweather capabilities (given wind speeds in the range 2–14 m/s) and good coverage. Synthetic Aperture Radar SAR satellites are operated as it detects the possibility of location of oil spills. In this paper by using a neural network the oil spill region has been extracted in the radar image. The number of input images inside the datasets and the image recognition results derived from the segmentation procedures , provide important preconditions for oil spill accidents and also to identify oil spills in SAR images. Convolution neural network classifier is used to provide a fully automated oil spill identification system with the help of region segmentation.The convolution neural network comprises of three layers .The first is input layer followed by hidden layer and lastly output layer. The purpose of connecting the input layer with the hidden layer, and the hidden layer with the output layer of the images used is done with the help of a weight value matrix called grey level co-occurrence matrix is used.

INTRODUCTION

Oil spills posses dangerous threats and great impact for the oceanic and coastal environments. Rather than humans physical measures , it could be better to use an automatic monitoring, detecting and controlling systems in order to reduce the spills caused due to oil in the oceans. It is also easier to conduct the operations at relevant times. The toxic chemicals contained in petroleum products like benzene, poly aromatic hydrocarbons and toluene are at large amounts in the oceans ,which were mainly due to human activity. This toxic chemicals results in the large destruction of marine ecosystem.The larvae, fish eggs and many sea creatures are greatly affected by the toxins present in the oil spills.These spills damage the birds feather as well as the fur of the animals.Thus they make them vulnerable to temperature fluctuations and these in turn results in impaired reproductive abilities. Clean up and recovery from an oil spill is a tedious process because when oil is covered with water, the ecosystem is not able to get any sunlight and it is deprived to oxygen. The recovery from spill might take weeks, months or even years.In order to rectify the above issues we have tried to implement a system which can identify oil spills in SAR images of dataset and the recognition results provide important preconditions for oil spill accident decision support. Convolution neural network classifier adopted with certain feature extraction procedures is used here to provide a fully automated oil spill and its segmentation is used to find the accuracy of the amount of oil spilled. The back propagation network (BPN) and some previously used methods had some drawbacks like high computational load and poor discriminatory power. The local texture region is not accounted and this is the greatest disadvantage here. Accuracy terms have been identified at greater amounts in convolution network compared all other schemes. Thus we have added new Hybrid features which involves Grey level co-occurrence matrices and texture descriptors. There is also a clear understanding between BPN and CNN in terms of the www.irjmets.com
