Markov Random Fields for SAR Remote Sensing Applications
نویسنده
چکیده
This article aims at illustrating the powerfulness of Bayesian and specially Markovian frameworks for different remote sensing applications and in particular for SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) image processing. Indeed, the Markovian model is a very convenient way to introduce prior knowledge on the problem to solve. It will first be evoked with examples on the pixel level like filtering, segmentation and classification. Then higher level applications, like object recognition, and global image interpretation will be developed.

Restoration of polarimetric SAR images using simulated annealing
Filtering synthethic aperture radar (SAR) images ideally results in better estimates of the parameters characterizing the distributed targets in the images while preserving the structures of the nondistributed targets. However, these objectives are normally conflicting, often leading to a filtering approach favoring one of the objectives. An algorithm for estimating the radar cross-section (RCS...
متن کاملSpatial information retrieval from remote-sensing images. II. Gibbs-Markov random fields
We present Gibbs–Markov random field (GMRF) models as a powerful and robust descriptor of spatial information in typical remote-sensing image data. This class of stochastic image models provides an intuitive description of the image data using parameters of an energy function. For the selection among several nested models and the fit of the model, we proceed in two steps of Bayesian inference. ...

In this contribution, a hybrid multi-contextual Markov model for unsupervised near real-time flood detection in multi-temporal X-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data is presented. It incorporates scale-dependent, as well as spatio-temporal contextual information, into the classification scheme, by combining hierarchical marginal posterior mode (HMPM) estimation on directed graphs with nonca...
متن کاملA fusion of remote sensing images segmentation based on Markov random fields and fuzzy c-means models
Remote sensing images segmentation is a challenging task in analysis process of terrestrial applications. In this paper, we propose a combination of two segmentation methods of remote sensing images. The first based on MRF (Markov Random Fields) method which takes into account the neighboring labels of the pixels and the second is computed with a Fuzzy C-means technique to improve the likelihoo...
