Hyperspectral target detection methods have until now progressed mainly on two paths in remote sensing research. The first approach, anomaly detection methods, use the difference of a local region with respect to its neighborhood to analyze the image without using any prior information of the searched target. The second approach on the other hand uses a previously obtained signature of the target, which uniquely represents the target's reflection characteristics with respect to the spectral wavelengths. The signature of the target is matched with the pixels of the acquired image to decide on the existence and location of the searched target. These two approaches provide crucial information to detect oil spills to monitor environmental pollution. In this paper, we aim to use and compare anomaly and signature based target detection approaches for the identification of oil slicks. The study area is selected as the Gulf of Mexico, where one of the worst marine oil spill accidents in the history of the petroleum industry occurred in April 2010. The results indicate that signature based algorithms have a better performance in detecting, locating, and quantifying oil spills compared to the anomaly detection methods. Among the anomaly detection methods, the Gaussian Kernel Reed-Xiaoli (RX) method shows also a close performance to signature based methods, although it requires very long execution times on the down side.

Airport runway detection in satellite images by Adaboost Learning
ZÖNGÜR, Ugur; Halıcı, Uğur; AYTEKİN, Orsan; Ulusoy, İlkay (2009-09-03)
Advances in hardware and pattern recognition techniques, along with the widespread utilization of remote sensing satellites, have urged the development of automatic target detection systems in satellite images. Automatic detection of airports is particularly essential, due to the strategic importance of these targets. In this paper, a runway detection method using a segmentation process based on textural properties is proposed for the detection of airport runways, which is the most distinguishing element of...
Radar target detection in non-gaussian clutter
Doyuran, Ülkü; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2007)
In this study, novel methods for high-resolution radar target detection in non-Gaussian clutter environment are proposed. In solution of the problem, two approaches are used: Non-coherent detection that operates on the envelope-detected signal for thresholding and coherent detection that performs clutter suppression, Doppler processing and thresholding at the same time. The proposed non-coherent detectors, which are designed to operate in non-Gaussian and range-heterogeneous clutter, yield higher performanc...
Effective training set sampling strategy for SVDD anomaly detection in hyperspectral imagery
Ergul, Mustafa; Sen, Nigar; Okman, O. Erman (2014-05-07)
Anomaly detection (AD) is an important application for target detection in remotely sensed hyperspectral data. Therefore, variety kinds of methods with different advantages and drawbacks have been proposed for past two decades. Recently, the kernelized support vector data description (SVDD) based anomaly detection approaches has become popular as these methods avoid prior assumptions about the distribution of data and provides better generalization to characterize the background. The global SVDD needs a tra...
Wasserstein generative adversarial active learning for anomaly detection with gradient penalty
Duran, Hasan Ali; Ertekin Bolelli, Şeyda; Department of Computer Engineering (2021-9)
Anomaly detection has become a very important topic with the advancing machine learning techniques and is used in many different application areas. In this study, we approach differently than the anomaly detection methods performed on standard generative models and describe anomaly detection as a binary classification problem. However, in order to train a highly accurate classifier model, the number of anomaly data in data-sets is very limited, and with synthetic data produced using generative models, it ca...
