Assuming that an intensity SAR image is modeled by a self similar random process we propose a possible rather simple analysis scheme for the detection of oils spills in open sea. Moreover as this is essentially a smoothness or complexity analysis technique of the image it can be potentially applied to the recognition and classification of other patterns.
