A Method for Qualitative Mapping of Thick Oil Spills Using Imaging Spectroscopy
A method to create qualitative images of thick oil in oil spills on water using near-infrared imaging spectroscopy data. It relies on the organic absorption features of chemical bonds in aliphatic hydrocarbons. The data cannot give oil volume estimates.
