主　　题：RADARSAT-1 SAR oil spill look-alike low wind zone fractal dimension 

摘      要：This work presents a modified formula for the fractal box counting *** method is based on the utilisation of the probability distribution formula in the fractal box *** purpose of this method is to use it for the discrimination of oil spill areas from the surrounding features,*** surface and look-alikes,using RADARSAT-1 SAR Wide beam mode(W1),Standard beam mode(S2)and Standard beam mode(S1)data acquisition under different wind *** results show that the new formula is able to discriminate between oil spills and look-alike *** results also illustrate that the new fractal formula identifies well the deficiency of oil spills in pairs of S2 ***,there are no significant differences between fractal values of look-alikes,low wind zone,and current shear features in different beam modes for acquisition of RADARSAT-1 SAR *** W1 mode data,however,show an error standard deviation of 0.002,thus performing a better discrimination of oil spills than the S1 and S2 mode data.
