Despeckling and Detection of High Reflectance Regions from Sar Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
A speckle reduction method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is presented here. This method can be considered as a first step for the extraction of other important information. The second one is the detection of high reflectance regions which yields an important step to continue the segmentation of the total image. We have worked in 3-look simulated and real ERS-1 amplitude images. The iterative filter is based on a membrane model Markov random field (MRF) approximation optimized by a synchronous local iterative method (SLIM). The final form of restoration gives a total sum preserving regularization (TSPR).

Extended ratio edge detector for despeckled SAR image evaluation
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images due to the usage of coherent imaging systems are affected by speckle. So lots of despeckling filters have been introduced up to now to suppress the speckle. Hence, objective and subjective evaluation of the denoised SAR images becomes a necessity. Thereby lots of objective evaluating estimators are introduced to evaluate the performance of despeckling filte...
متن کاملA Downsampled SAR-BM3D Despeckling Approach for Single-Look SAR Images in High Resolution
SAR-BM3D is one of the state of the art despeckling algorithms for SAR images. However, when tackling with high resolution SAR images, it often has an unsatisfying despeckling performance in the homogeneous smooth regions, together with a high time complexity. In this paper, a novel downsampled SAR-BM3D despeckling approach combined with edge compensation is proposed. The proposed algorithm con...
متن کاملSAR Image Despeckling Using Quadratic-Linear Approximated L1-Norm
Speckle noise, inherent in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, degrades the performance of the various SAR image analysis tasks. Thus, speckle noise reduction is a critical preprocessing step for smoothing homogeneous regions while preserving details. This letter proposes a variational despeckling approach where `1-norm total variation regularization term is approximated in a quadratic and l...
متن کاملNew wavelet-based superresolution algorithm for speckle reduction in SAR images
Although the POSA is good as a new superresolution algorithm for image enhancement, image metrology and biometric identification, here one will use it like a tool of despeckling, being the first time that an algorithm of super-resolution is used for despeckling of SAR images. Specifically, the speckled SAR image is decomposed into wavelet subbands, POSA is applied to the high subbands, and reco...
متن کاملGenerating High Quality Visible Images from SAR Images Using CNNs
We propose a novel approach for generating high quality visible-like images from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images using Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) architectures. The proposed approach is based on a cascaded network of convolutional neural nets (CNNs) for despeckling and image colorization. The cascaded structure results in faster convergence during training and...
