Oil Spill Segmentation using Deep Encoder-Decoder models
Crude oil is an integral component of the modern world economy. With the growing demand for crude oil due to its widespread applications, accidental oil spills are unavoidable. Even though oil spills are in and themselves difficult to clean up, the first and foremost challenge is to detect spills. In this research, the authors test the feasibility of deep encoder-decoder models that can be trained effectively to detect oil spills. The work compares the results from several segmentation models on high dimensional satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image data. Multiple combinations of models are used in running the experiments. The best-performing model is the one with the ResNet-50 encoder and DeepLabV3+ decoder. It achieves a mean Intersection over Union (IoU) of 64.868% and a class IoU of 61.549% for the "oil spill" class when compared with the current benchmark model, which achieved a mean IoU of 65.05% and a class IoU of 53.38% for the "oil spill" class
