Cover Story: Oil sheen on the water surface can indicate a source of hydrocarbon in underlying subaquatic sediments. Here, we develop and test the accuracy of an algorithm for automated real-time visual monitoring of the water surface for detecting oil sheen. We first created a new near-surface oil sheen image dataset. We then used this dataset to develop an image-based Oil Sheen Prediction Neural Network (OS-Net), to predict the existence of oil sheen on the water surface from images. The performance of OS-Net and the oil detection accuracy reached up to 99% on a test dataset. Because the OS-SS uses video to monitor for sheen, we also created a real-time video-based oil sheen prediction algorithm (VOS-Net) to deploy in the OS-SS to autonomously map the spatial distribution of sheening potential of hydrocarbon-impacted subaquatic sediments.
