Oil spill accidents in marine environments have a massive impact on ecosystems. Various methods have been developed to detect oil spills using high-resolution optical imagery. However, ocean waves caused by heavy winds occurring in the accident area cause sun glint in the image, and this severely impedes the ability to detect the oil spill area. The objective of this study was to detect oil spill areas from high-resolution optic images using the artificial neural network (ANN) through effective
