Radar Imagery Filtering with Use of the Mathematical Morphology Operations
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper concerns the application of mathematical morphology operations for suppression of speckle from radar satellite images. Different traditional widely-used filters are compared with the morphological alternate filters, especially with the filter with multiple structuring function. The comprehensive comparison of the traditional filters is presented, as well as the background on mathematical morphology and morphological filters. Then the evaluation of compared filters applied on TerraSAR-X images is presented.

Low-Backscatter Ocean Features in Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery
any ocean surface signatures in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery are characterized by relatively low normalized radar cross section values. Distinguishing among these signatures objectively can be very difficult, especially with only the singleband and single-polarization SAR imagery available from the European Remote Sensing satellites and the Canadian Radarsat-1. Nevertheless, distincti...
متن کاملOil pollution monitoring by SAR imagery
Russia is the first world gas producer and the second for oil. Its reserves of hydrocarbons are primarily located in the Russian North where permafrost is often present. Large oil spills occur in this area. The pipelines are subject to corrosion and cryogenic processes. The risk of rupture increases consequently. The oil spill monitoring is limited by the vastness and the frequent inaccessibili...
متن کاملSVM-based Target Recognition from Synthetic Aperture Radar Images using Target Region Outline Descriptors
The work in this paper explores the discriminatory power of target outline description features in conjunction with Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classification committees, when attempting to recognize a variety of targets from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. In specific, approximate target outlines are first determined from SAR images via a simple mathematical morphology-based segm...
متن کاملSpatially Adaptive Despeckling for Multi-look Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery
A spatially adaptive speckle filtering approach for multi-look polarimetric synthetic aperture radar imagery is presented. The central idea of the proposed filter is that the filtering operations are performed spatially variant for image features, i.e. edges, lines and point-like textural features, in order to preserve them. For homogeneous areas, the filtering is based on scattering properties...
متن کاملAn Illustrative Analysis of Mathematical Morphology Operations for MRI Brain Images
Mathematical morphology is an implement for extracting image components that are helpful in the demonstration and explanation of region shape, boundaries, skeletons, and convex hull. Morphological operations are used in pre and post processing for thinning, filtering. Morphology is a development method used to extract image meaningful. In this paper, study the different morphology methods that ...
