Abstract
As data volumes have increased and difficulty in tackling vast and complicated problems has emerged, the need for innovative and intelligent solutions to handle these difficulties has become essential. Data clustering is a data mining approach that clusters a huge amount of data into a number of clusters; in other words, it finds symmetric and asymmetric objects. In this study, we developed a novel strategy that uses intelligent optimization algorithms to tackle a group of issues requiring sophisticated methods to solve. Three primary components are employed in the suggested technique, named GNDDMOA: Dwarf Mongoose Optimization Algorithm (DMOA), Generalized Normal Distribution (GNF), and Opposition-based Learning Strategy (OBL). These parts are used to organize the executions of the proposed method during the optimization process based on a unique transition mechanism to address the critical limitations of the original methods. Twenty-three test functions and eight data clustering tasks were utilized to evaluate the performance of the suggested method. The suggested method’s findings were compared to other well-known approaches. In all of the benchmark functions examined, the suggested GNDDMOA approach produced the best results. It performed very well in data clustering applications showing promising performance.

The Application of Satellite Image Analysis in Oil Spill Detection. APPLIED SCIENCES-BASEL 2022. [DOI: 10.3390/app12084016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 02/01/2023]
Abstract
In recent years, there has been an increasing use of satellite sensors to detect and track oil spills. The satellite bands, namely visible, short, medium infrared, and microwave radar bands, are used for this purpose. The use of satellite images is extremely valuable for oil spill analysis. With satellite images, we can identify the source of leakage and assess the extent of potential damage. However, it is not yet clear how to approach a specific leakage case methodologically. The aim of this study is the remote sensing analysis of environmental changes with the development of oil spill detection processing methods. Innovative elements of the work, in addition to methodological proposals, include the long-term analysis of surface water changes. This is very important because oil is very likely to enter the soil when water levels change. The classification result was satisfactory and accurate by 85%. The study was carried out using images from Landsat 5, Landsat 7, Landsat 8, Sentinel-1, and Sentinel-2 satellites. The results of the classification of the oil stains in active and passive technologies differ. This difference affects the methodology for selecting processing methods in similar fields. In the case of this article, the oil spill that occurred on 29 May 2020 in Norilsk was investigated and compared with data from other years to determine the extent of biodegradation. Due to the tank failure that occurred at the Nornickel power plant on that day, a large amount of crude oil leaked into the environment, contaminating the waters and soil of local areas. Research shows that oil spills may be caused by human error or may be the effect of climate change, particularly global warming.
