Abstract

This dataset includes MODIS and VIIRS imagery used in the paper "Extracting Oil Slick Features From VIIRS Nighttime Imagery Using a Gaussian Filter and Morphological Constraints" (DOI: 10.1109/LGRS.2015.2444871). For accuracy assessment, the ROI file used as oil slick ground truth, feature extraction results, the VIIRS nighttime imagery used in the test and the final accuracy assessment statistics are also included.
