METHOD FOR IDENTIFYING SEA SURFACE CONTAMINATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G01C11/06 G01S13/90 

FIELD: ecology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to an area for monitoring the environmental contamination of shelf and coastal zones. The method comprises probing coastal areas containing reference areas with means installed on an aerospace carrier to produce synchronous images in the ultraviolet and near infrared regions with georeference of the images by the GLONASS positioning system, contrasting frames by forming synthesized matrices from the pixel relations of these images, extracting contours on the field of synthesized matrices, calculating identifiable signal parameters within the contours: space wave pattern F, fractal volume Ω, relief area S_p of wavy surface of the analyzed area, evaluating pollution state index (I) as a dependence on the product of the identifiable parameters .

EFFECT: increased reliability of identification of sea surface anomalies, increased sensitivity of measurements.
