Edge Detection in SAR Images using Phase Stretch Transform

چکیده
In this work a novel approach to edge detection on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is introduced. The proposed method uses an optics inspired transform which emulates the diffraction of an image through a medium with nonlinear dispersive properties. The experimental results show that the output of the introduced Phase Stretch Transform (PST) in conjunction with further morphological operations can be effectively used for image edge detection.

Edge Detection in Digital Images Using Dispersive Phase Stretch Transform
We describe a new computational approach to edge detection and its application to biomedical images. Our digital algorithm transforms the image by emulating the propagation of light through a physical medium with specific warped diffractive property. We show that the output phase of the transform reveals transitions in image intensity and can be used for edge detection.
متن کاملExtended 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 کاملSAR-PC: Edge Detection in SAR Images via an Advanced Phase Congruency Model
Edge detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images has been a challenging task due to the speckle noise. Ratio-based edge detectors are robust operators for SAR images that provide constant false alarm rates, but they are only optimal for step edges. Edge detectors developed by the phase congruency model provide the identification of different types of edge features, but they suffer from s...

متن کاملEdge Detection in Urban Areas using Multichannel SAR Interferometry
Building edge detection is a task of increasing importance in last decays. In this paper we propose a novel approach to handle this problem using jointly both SAR amplitude and phase data. The technique is based on a stochastic estimation and on Markov Random Field (MRF). The algorithm computes the building edge map looking for the discontinuities of both phase and reflectivity using jointly th...
