Abstract
The airborne hyperspectral and multisensor surveillance of the ship sourced oil pollution of the sea was researched by the airborne system developed in the frame of the project „System for the multisensor airborne reconnaissance and surveillance in crisis situations and the protection of the environment“ (MZOS 2007). While different methodologies, methods, technologies and techniques were used, the multilevel fusion was applied for linking the data, the processes and the outcomes. Fusion includes the aerial hyperspectral and the colour imagery, the visually detected oil spills, the formalised knowledge for the estimation of the oil spill area and oil’s quantity based on Bonn Agreement Oil Appearance Code – BAOAC, the data about the spectral response of the clean sea and polluted sea, the results of hyperspectral classification. Besides the information acquired by the airborne multisensor system, the information provided by space based system CleanSeaNet of the European Maritime Safety Agency – EMSA was included in the fusion process (in the frame of the large trial – operational exercise in 2008). The advantages of the airborne remote sensing of the oil spills are reliable detection of the oil spills, accurate mapping of its position and the shape in geographic coordinates, classification of the contents of the spill, measurements of the oil spill’s features, estimation of the oil quantity.
