Abstract

Oil extraction and transportation practices have turned the Gulf region into one of the most polluted sea areas in the world. In this context, monitoring oil related pollution as persistent in the Persian Gulf was implemented through application of the interactive classification method on the SAR images. The achieved findings appear to reveal that no less than 5000 oil spills were detected and identified to prevail in the Gulf area.
