A cloud-integrated web platform for marine monitoring using GIS and remote sensing. Application to oil spill detection through SAR images

Remote System for Oil Spill Detection Based on ZigBee and GIS

“…Mera's paper [5] summarized the international studies of current conditions on the response to oil spill emergency on offshore platform and indicated their limitations, and designed the general framework and functional requirement of the decision support system for oil emergency in offshore platform of Bohai, which constructed according to the achievements of scientific research projects in progress and the physical circumstances of Bohai, based on the combination techniques both of Geographical Information System (GIS) and Decision Support System (DSS).…”

Development and Comparison of Open Source based Web GIS Frameworks on WAMP and Apache Tomcat Web Servers

“…It is widely used for by the applications that are developed using JSP and servlets. Apache Tomcat serves a Web application implemented using the Model-ViewController design, through the well-known frameworks Spring (for the model) and Apache Tapestry (for the View and the Controller) (Fustes et al, 2013).…”

The grand challenges in marine pollution research

“…These type of sensors are called Synthetic Aperture Radars (SAR), which capture the scatter of microwaves on a determined surface and are optimal for capturing the roughness of the sea surface, regardless of weather and light conditions. Fustes et al (2014) provide an exemplary tool that offers an integrated framework for the detection and localization of marine spills using remote sensing, GIS, and cloud computing. The authors present advanced segmentation algorithms are presented in order to isolate dark areas in SAR images, including fuzzy clustering and wavelets.…”
