4 Context and Motivation Satellite missions for Earth observation increase every year. The study of the ocean requires multidisciplinary teams Distributed computing paradigm. 1/27

5 Index 1 Context and Motivation 2 Objectives 3 Virtual laboratory development 4 Virtual laboratory validation 5 Results and conclusions

6 Objectives 1. To develop a user-friendly distributed computational environment based on Grid computing. 2. To develop an oceanographic application to test the Grid environment. - An oil spill automatic detection system based on the analysis of satellite Synthetic Aperture Radar imaging. 2/27

7 Index 1 Context and Motivation 2 Objectives 3 Virtual laboratory development 4 Virtual laboratory validation 5 Results and conclusions

8 Retelab User access and registration The access to most of the Grids is not intuitive. - Command line interface. - Digital certicates. - The computer knowledge is mandatory. - The users management is based on les. 3/27

10 Retelab Distributed storage system Based on Metadata - ISO Integration of visualization tools. - Live Access Server. - Integrated Data Viewer. 5/27

11 Retelab Job submission and monitoring system Previous job submission systems: - They need interaction with the users. - The interaction decreases simplicity and transparency. Retelab approach: - Grid metascheduler. > To make decisions on behalf of users. > To facilitate the optimal utilization of the Grid resources. > It undertakes the tasks for resource discovery, job scheduling, executing, monitoring and output retrieval. - It was mainly developed by a CESGA researcher. 6/27

15 Sentinazos Introduction The international trade is mainly supported by maritime transport. The intensive trac sails along the Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ) of the countries and generates important pollution problems. Only the 7 % of oil spills come from catastrophes like tanker and oil platform accidents. Sentinazos 35% 45% Accidentes 13% 7% Emanaciones naturales Ríos 9/27

16 Sentinazos Introduction Synthetic Aperture Radar (a) (b) (c) Vientos de baja intensidad <3 m/s Vientos moderados Vientos fuertes > 15 m/s 10/27

18 Sentinazos Introduction Synthetic Aperture Radar - Oil Spills Total number of spills=1.638 (Mediterraneam sea, 1999) Amorphous Old Spills Angular spills Less fresh spills Very fresh spills Figura: Classication of detected spills in terms of their shapes. 12/27

19 Sentinazos Goals Hypothesis 1. Is possible to use wind information to segment oil candidates from SAR images? 2. Is the shape analysis relevant to classify the oil candidates? Goal To develop an oil spill automatic detection system focused on the galician coast and based on SAR images. 13/27

20 Sentinazos Methodology Dataset: a collection of 47 SAR images from the Envisat. - Galician coast. Finisterre Trac Separation Scheme ( ) - Wide Swath Mode - Polarization: vertical-vertical - Coverage: 400 km x 400 km 14/27

21 Methodology Sentinazos Oil Spill detection system architecture Image calibration SAR images Reprojection Land mask Noise filter Preprocesing Wind data Segmentation Characterization Classification Detection system 15/27

22 Sentinazos Methodology Segmentation - Establishing the Adaptive Threshold. 16/27

23 Sentinazos Methodology Segmentation - Applying the Adaptive Threshold Pixel data > 3m/s <=Threshold Wind Speed? Selecting AT Applying AT Intensity? Labeling as oil < 3m/s Labeling as water >Threshold Generating Binary Image SAR images: x pixels. Incidence Angle Wind Speed Intensity Deleting Blobs <50 pixels (0.3km 2 ) Blob Area? Extracting Blobs Pixel >50 pixels 17/27

24 Sentinazos Methodology Characterization - The segmented areas are analyzed to get a characteristic vector: > 17 shape characteristics (Ratio area perimeter, 7 Hu moments, Thickness, etc) PCA 5 main components. > 2 physical characteristics related with the pixel intensity values. > 2 contextual characteristics related with the wind speed and the incidence angle. 18/27

25 Sentinazos Methodology Classication - Clustering of oil spills and look alikes. - Evaluation of the characteristics vector. - Machine learning classiers. > Articial Neural Network > Decision Tree 19/27

26 Sentinazos Methodology Classication Ratio intensidad < 2,04183 Sí No PCA3 < 9,49121 Sentinazo Sí No Sentinazo Look-alike 20/27

33 Results and conclusions Conclusions - Processing time. - The AT could be improved using other wind models. - The oil spills inside of low wind areas are not discovered. - Is the shape relevant? Ongoing work - New wind speed models. - New satellites (Sentinel). - New classiers. - Add contextual data (ships, FTSS, etc). 26/27
