Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Oil spill accidents seriously pollute the marine environment, threaten the safety of marine ecosystems and coastal residents, and cause huge economic losses to industries such as marine fisheries, aquaculture, and tourism. Timely and accurate monitoring and early warning of oil spills on the sea can not only ensure the timely and effective disposal of oil spills and effectively reduce the negative impact of accidents, but also provide a basis for charging companies and individuals responsible for oil spill accidents.

The recent development of remote sensing technology provides powerful tools for detecting marine oil spills and retrieving their detailed properties. However, many challenges remain for the diversity of oil film properties, the complicated marine environment, and the affection of marine oil spill look-alikes. Moreover, it is also very important to model and predict the trajectory of marine oil spills for efficient clean-up and damage evaluation.

The main scope of this Special Issue includes, but is not limited to, the detection of marine oil spills by optical and radar platforms, the retrieval of oil spill type and parameters as well as the modeling and prediction of oil spill trajectory and its dispersion. It is hoped that this Special Issue may boost the exchange and interconnection between the recent studies related to marine oil spill remote sensing and eventually contribute to the protection of the marine environment.

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Remote Sensing is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

An outdoor experiment was conducted to measure the thickness of oil films (0~3000 μm) using an airborne hyperspectral imager and thermal infrared imager, and the spectral response and thermal response of oil films of different thicknesses were analyzed. The classic support vector regression (SVR) model was used to retrieve the oil film thickness. On this basis, the suitable range for retrieving oil film thickness using hyperspectral and thermal infrared remote sensing was explored, and the decision-level fusion algorithm was developed to fuse the retrieval capabilities of hyperspectral and thermal infrared remote sensing for oil film thickness. The following conclusions can be drawn: (1) Based on airborne hyperspectral data and thermal infrared data, the retrieval accuracy of oil films of different thicknesses reached 154.31 μm and 116.59 μm, respectively. (2) The S185 hyperspectral data were beneficial for retrieving thicknesses greater than or equal to 400 μm, and the H20T thermal infrared data were beneficial for retrieving thicknesses greater than 500 μm. (3) The result of the decision-level fusion model based on a fuzzy membership degree was superior to those obtained using a single sensor (hyperspectral or thermal infrared), indicating that it can better integrate the retrieval results of hyperspectral and thermal infrared remote sensing for oil film thickness. Furthermore, the feasibility of using hyperspectral and thermal infrared remote sensing to detect water-in-oil emulsions of different thicknesses was investigated through spectral response and thermal response analysis.
