Issues Arising in Applying Machine Learning to Oil Slick Detection

Applications in image processing and remote sensing raise questions that have so far received only marginal attention from the machine learning community. And yet, each of our issues, we believe, represents a rich research topic, in addition to being of practical importance. The task of the presented case study is to expose some of them in the context where we encountered them, and to encourage discussion that might spawn further research.
