Polarimetric SAR Image Object Segmentation via Level Set with Stationary Global Minimum

Polarimetric SAR Image Object Segmentation via Level Set with Stationary Global Minimum

We present a level set-based method for object segmentation in polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) images. In our method, a modified energy functional via active contour model is proposed based on complex Gaussian/Wishart distribution model for both single-look and multilook PolSAR images. The modified functional has two interesting properties: (1) the curve evolution does not enter ...

sar image segmentation and denoising simultaneously using level set methods

sar (synthetic aperture radar) image enhancement and segmentation is purpose of this thesis. sar image segmentation is a primary step before steps such as classification and target recognition. the main obstacle in sar image segmentation is inherent speckle noise. speckle noise is a multiplicative and highly destructive noise which results to intensity inhomogeneity. hence common segmentation m...

SAR image segmentation based on the advanced level set

Image segmentation takes an important role in SAR image processing. In this paper, a SAR image segmentation method based on level set evolution combining edge feature and statistic information is proposed. In order to enhance the impact of edge on image segmentation, all edge values are homogenized according to the calculated ROA operator. Different from traditional method where the SAR distrib...

Polarimetric SAR Image Segmentation Using Texture Partitioning and Statistical Analysis

Multiscale Segmentation of Polarimetric Sar Image Based on Srm Superpixels

Multi-scale segmentation of remote sensing image is more systematic and more convenient for the object-oriented image analysis compared to single-scale segmentation. However, the existing pixel-based polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) image multi-scale segmentation algorithms are usually inefficient and impractical. In this paper, we proposed a superpixel-based binary partition tree (BPT) segmentation a...
