Clutter Reduction for Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery Based on Adaptive Wavelet Packet Transform
نویسندگان
چکیده
An adaptive wavelet packet transform (AWPT) algorithm is proposed to process synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery and remove background clutters from target images. Since target features are more efficiently represented using the wavelet packet bases, higher signal-to-clutter ratios (SCR) can be achieved in the wavelet transform domain. Consequently, clutters can be more effectively separated from the desired target features in the transform domain than in the original SAR domain. The processed results based on the MSTAR data set demonstrate the effectiveness of this algorithm for SAR clutter reduction.

Speckle 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...

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 کاملClassification of Objects in SAR Images Using Scaling Features
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an important technique used for imaging of objects. Its strength lies in the fact that it is the only successful all-weather imaging system. However, SAR images suffer from clutter and speckle, and much research has been devoted to developing a pre-processor which can eliminate these. In this paper, we show that classification based on scaling information is na...
