Synthetic Aperture Radar Images Segmentation Using Minimum Cross- Entropy with Gamma Distribution
نویسنده
چکیده
Computer apparition plays the most important role in human perception, which is limited to only the visual band of the electromagnetic spectrum. The need for Radar imaging systems, to recover some sources that are not within human visual band, is raised. This paper present new algorithm for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images segmentation based on thresholding technique. Entropy based image thresholding has received sustainable interest in recent years. It is an important concept in the area of image processing. Pal (1996) proposed a cross entropy thresholding method based on Gaussian distribution for bi-modal images. Our method is derived from Pal method that segment images using cross entropy thresholding based on Gamma distribution and can handle bi-modal and multimodal images. Our method is tested using Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images and it gave good results for bi-modal and multimodal images. The results obtained are encouraging.

ISAR Image Improvement Using STFT Kernel Width Optimization Based On Minimum Entropy Criterion
Nowadays, Radar systems have many applications and radar imaging is one of the most important of these applications. Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to form an image from moving targets. Conventional methods use Fourier transform to retrieve Doppler information. However, because of maneuvering of the target, the Doppler spectrum becomes time-varying and the image is blurred. Joi...

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 کاملSynthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image segmentation by fuzzy c- means clustering technique with thresholding for iceberg images
Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm is widely used for image segmentation. The purpose of clustering is to identify natural groupings of data from a large data set, which results in concise representation of system’s behavior. It can be used to detect icebergs regardless of ambient conditions like rain, darkness and fog. As a result SAR images can be used for iceberg surveillance. In this ...
