Directional Filter for SAR Images Based on Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform and Immune Clonal Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
A directional filter algorithm for intensity synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image based on nonsubsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and immune clonal selection (ICS) is presented. The proposed filter mainly focuses on exploiting different features of edges and noises by NSCT. Furthermore, ICS strategy is introduced to optimize threshold parameter and amplify parameter adaptively. Numerical experiments on real SAR images show that there are improvements in both visual effects and objective indexes.

Spatial Images Feature Extraction Based on Bayesian Nonlocal Means Filter and Improved Contourlet Transform
Spatial images are inevitably mixed with different levels of noise and distortion. The contourlet transform can provide multidimensional sparse representations of images in a discrete domain. Because of its filter structure, the contourlet transform is not translation-invariant. In this paper, we use a nonsubsampled pyramid structure and a nonsubsampled directional filter to achieve multidimens...

To suppress the Pseudo-Gibbs phenomena caused by the Contourlet, the Nonsubsampled Pyramids Filter Banks and the Nonsubsampled Directional Filter Banks are combined to construct the nonsubsampled Contourlet transform (NSCT). Hence, The NSCT not only possess the main features of multi-scale, multi-directional and timefrequency localization, but also offer the property of the shift-invariant whic...
متن کاملImage Enhancement Using Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform
This paper presents a novel technique of image Enhancement which can be widely used in medical and biological imaging to improve the image quality. The principle objective of enhancement is to process an image so that the result is more suitable than the original image for a specific application. Image enhancement enhances weak edges or weak features in an image while keeping strong edges or fe...
متن کاملA Robust Image Denoising Technique in the Contourlet Transform Domain
The contourlet transform has the benefit of efficiently capturing the oriented geometrical structures of images. In this paper, by incorporating the ideas of Stein’s Unbiased Risk Estimator (SURE) approach in Nonsubsampled Contourlet Transform (NSCT) domain, a new image denoising technique is devised. We utilize the characteristics of NSCT coefficients in high and low subbands and apply SURE sh...
متن کاملComparing Undecimated Wavelet, Nonsubsampled Contourlet and Shearlet Transform for SAR Image Despeckling
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images suffer of multiplicative speckle noise, which damages the radiometric resolution of SAR images and makes the data interpretation difficult. Bayesian shrinkage in a transformed domain is a well-known method based on finding threshold value to suppress the speckle noise. This paper present a new approach to obtain the optimum threshold values for Bayesian shr...
