Video surveillance

In this paper, we introduce an oil leak detection system based on video surveillance built on a petroleum platform or an island in the sea. Video surveillance can offer real-time monitoring by means of data acquisition, storage, transmission and monitoring. The video images are processed in data supervisory centre, and the system will sound alarm as soon as abnormal video images are found. In the period of image processing, dilation and erosion theories are used to detect oil spills. The system will greatly improve the efficiency of oil leak surveillance, and provide strong technical support for energy reduction and emergency management. Experiment results show that the new system play a high-performance on detecting oil leak compared with the previous methods.
