However, segmentation of oil region from images is a challenging problem. This is due to un-defined edge between oil and sea water. This paper proposes a novel approach based on oil color. The proposed color-based method segments the oil spill region based on clustering the colors of oil and water within the image into various groups, from which the oiled region can be segmented and defined. A k-mean cluster was applied to differentiate between the various colors. As a result, the color-based method able to determine the oiled region. A comparison to classical Otsu thresholding method showed that the color-based method had a better oil segmentation. © 2018 Author(s). date: 2018 publisher: American Institute of Physics Inc. official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-85057345191&doi=10.1063%2f1.5075603&partnerID=40&md5=f01a91553b34b759009f69a801844474 id_number: 10.1063/1.5075603 full_text_status: none publication: AIP Conference Proceedings volume: 2035 refereed: TRUE isbn: 9780735417618 issn: 0094243X citation: Osman, A.B. and Ovinis, M. and Ismael, M.A. and Fakhruldin, M.H. and Faye, I.
