Source summary
Create an automated oil-spill pipeline using SAR/optical imagery and AIS. Characterise slick geometry and age where feasible, use weather/ocean information to hindcast origin and forecast drift, then reconstruct vessel traffic in that space-time window and rank candidates using proximity, trajectories and anomalies. Provide a visual interface. Ranked vessel correlations support investigation rather than proving responsibility.
