Speckle removal in SAR data by wavelets
نویسندگان
چکیده
A method for specckle removal in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images based on wavelets filters is presented. Our method is applied to SAR signals prevously to proceed to the imaging of the data. The spatial resolution and image details are strongly enhanced, without ’blurring’ effects.

Despeckling Sar Images Using Wavelets and a New Class of Adaptive Shrinkage Estimators
We propose in this paper an efficient and fast wavelet based technique for speckle removal from SAR images. It relies on realistic distributions of the wavelet coefficients which represent mainly speckle noise at one hand and those that represent the useful signal corrupted by speckle at the other. We propose analytic models for these distributions, and the automatic computation of their parame...
متن کاملSpeckle Noise Reduction of Synthetic Aperture Radar (sar) Image Using Multi-resolution Technique
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are contaminated by multiplicative speckle noise, a chaotic phenomenon that results from coherent energy imaging; and that obscures the scene complex and strongly reduces the possibility to observe objects. Multiplicative speckle noise limits the classical coder/decoder algorithm in spatial domain. Various scalar wavelet based techniques so far developed fo...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Exploiting Intra-scale and Inter-scale Dependencies
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Using Laplace Distribution
Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...
متن کاملLocating Oil Spill in SAR Images Using Wavelets and Region Growing
This paper presents an algorithm for spots detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images that can be used to support environmental remote monitoring. Monitoring areas with high frequency of oil spillage by accidental or illegal oil discharges can prevent marine damage spreading. But the presence of speckle noise in SAR images limits the visual interpretation of scenes because it obscures t...
