Marine Pollution Detection using SAR Polarimetric Data
About
I am a PhD researcher at the Institute of Technology, Nirma University, with a deep focus on SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) polarimetry and its application in ocean surface monitoring. I had the opportunity to work on an ISRO-funded research project titled "Ocean Surface Targets Detection using SAR Polarimetry," where I developed and evaluated advanced feature extraction and deep learning techniques for remote sensing applications.
My research intersects Image Processing and AI, aiming to develop robust, scalable methods for detecting marine pollution, including oil spills and plastic debris, using satellite data. I combine classical SAR feature engineering with modern deep learning architectures such as U-Net, attention modules, and GANs to address critical challenges in environmental monitoring.
