Abstract
SAR scattering mechanics is dominated by the surface scattering, which provides the potential for offshore oil spills detection. On the basis of analyzing the SAR imaging mechanics about oil slicks, several factors, such as the wind speed, the wave length of the SAR sensor, the polarization of the SAR sensor, and quasi oil slicks are provided and analyzed. Finally, the present popular oil slicks detection algorithms for SAR images are introduced.
