چکیده
In this paper, we present a Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) based method for the purpose of despeckling the Synthetic Aperture radar (SAR) images by applying a maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) condition to estimate the noise free wavelet coefficients. A MAP Estimator is designed for this purpose which uses Rayleigh distribution for modeling the speckle noise and Laplacian distribution for modeling the statistics of the noise free wavelet coefficients. The parameters required for MAP estimator is determined by technique used for parameter

متن کاملStatistical Quality Analysis of Wavelet Based SAR Images in Despeckling Process
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are mainly denoised by multiplicative speckle noise, which is due to the consistent behavior of scattering phenomenon known as speckle noise. This paper presents the basic concept, role and importance of Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) in the field of despeckling SAR images and also offers a study of SAR image quality on applying DWT on the speckled image ...
متن کاملDespeckling Sar Images Using Wavelets and a New Class of Adaptive Shrinkage Estimators
We propose in this paper an efficient and fast wavelet based technique for speckle removal from SAR images. It relies on realistic distributions of the wavelet coefficients which represent mainly speckle noise at one hand and those that represent the useful signal corrupted by speckle at the other. We propose analytic models for these distributions, and the automatic computation of their parame...
