Automatic surface pollution detection

CORDIS provides links to public deliverables and publications of HORIZON projects.

Links to deliverables and publications from FP7 projects, as well as links to some specific result types such as dataset and software, are dynamically retrieved from OpenAIRE .

Deliverables

The outcome of the project is the design of a new, low cost, automatic water borne pollution detector of a general-purpose nature. whilst it is primarily aimed at oil-on-water detection, it will be applicable to a wide range of water pollution problems. The system is affordable and contributes significantly to industrial, environmental management. It will also make a substantial contribution to disaster avoidance in situations such as ship ballast tanks. The primary technical result of the project is to the application of image-processing technology to the detection, recognition and quantification of separated pollution-on-water (or just below surface). Significant substances that can be detected include diesel, jet fuel, creosol, crude oil, aromatic solvents, lubricating oil and fuel oil.
