SWT based Denoising Technique for SAR Images

چکیده
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a satellite imaging technology. It produces high resolution images and can be used in varied atmospheric conditions. It can be used under all weather conditions. SAR images are generally affected with granular noise termed as speckle noise. Speckle degrades the spatial resolution, contrast of the image, decreases object detectability and causes inconvenience to the SAR image interpreter. Therefore for proper interpretation, it is essential to reduce the speckle noise in SAR images. This paper presents a new speckle noise reduction technique using modelling wa zvelet coefficients. Noiseless and noisy wavelet coefficients are modelled as two-sided generalised Gamma distribution (GΓD) and Gaussian distribution respectively.

Same as SAR images, the major problem of ViSAR is the pres...
متن کاملIntelligent & Adaptive Image Denoising Based on Wavelets with Shrinkage Rule
Real time image processing should have high quality results at lesser computational time. A spatial image denoising method using 2D discrete wavelet transform (2D DWT) and Stationary wavelet transform (SWT) is presented in this paper for high quality image results. DWT gives high quality output at low levels of noise at relatively lesser time consumption where as it suffers from translation inv...

An Internal Wave Feature Extraction (IWFE)algorithm based on Stationary Wavelet Transform (SWT) in SAR oceanic surface images is proposed. In this algorithm, SWT is applied to process SAR images and its coefficients are used to calculate the Wavelet Gradient Information (WGI). And the IWFE is obtained as edges by searching the calcaulated WGI’s maximum module value.. The morphological thinning ...
