Non-gaussian Clustering of Sar Images for Glacier Change Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Our aim is to use unsupervised, non-Gaussian clustering of Arctic glaciers for post-classification change detection. Firstly, we demonstrate the consistency of nonGaussian clustering algorithms for Envisat ASAR images by characterizing the expected random error level for different SAR acquisition conditions (such as incidence angle).This allows us to determine whether an observed variation is statistically significant and therefore can be used for post-classification change detection of Arctic glaciers. Real significant change was not detected with mixed configurations during the time period of this study.

Image Fusion and Fuzzy Clustering based Change Detection in SAR Images
Change detection in remote sensing images becomes more and more important for the last few decades, among them change detection in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are having some more difficulties than optical ones due to the fact that SAR images suffer from the presence of the speckle noise. This paper presents unsupervised change detection in multi-temporal Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR...

It is very popular to monitor the changes of urban areas via synthetic aperture radar data, which is rarely influenced by weather conditions or imaging time. However, change detection using multi-temporal SAR data may confront with difficulties, due to the highly speckled noise generated by the coherent imaging mechanism. Thus SAR images change detection algorithms mainly contains three steps: ...

متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Exploiting Intra-scale and Inter-scale Dependencies
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
