Abstract

See full text

The invention relates to a method for detecting and locating hydrocarbon deposits under a body of water in several steps. First, images of a surface of the body of water taken at different times are acquired. Next, for each image, traces of hydrocarbon leaks are identified. Next, a detection map is generated. This map indicates probabilities of the presence of a hydrocarbon leak around the identified traces. The map is obtained by processing the image at least based on a criterion of distance to the identified traces. Finally, the detection maps are combined to produce a hydrocarbon leak location map.
