Popis: Summary Oil slicks from natural seeps and man-made spills of hydrocarbons need to be monitored in real-time to prevent environmental hazards. Remote sensing techniques are suitable for the task. Unfortunately, human intervention prevents real-time monitoring due to the limited area that can be processed by remote sensing specialists in GIS applications at a time. In this study, the focus is on how Machine Learning -in particular Deep Learning (DL)- can help automating the above mentioned task. Thus, a DL architecture is trained with a Total’s proprietary dataset for segmenting oil slick regions from satellite images. Further, the training stage is scaled and enhanced with high-performance computing techniques. These techniques allowed the original task to be solved up to 2.5× faster than the baseline for single GPU and pseudo-linear scalability for the distributed case. The later takes this application closer to real-time use case level.
