Change Detection in SAR Images Based on the ROF Model Semi-Implicit Denoising Method

The explicit solution of the traditional ROF model in image denoising has the disadvantages of unstable results and requiring many iterations. To solve the problem, a new method, ROF model semi-implicit denoising, is proposed in this paper and applied to change detections of synthetic aperture radar...

description The explicit solution of the traditional ROF model in image denoising has the disadvantages of unstable results and requiring many iterations. To solve the problem, a new method, ROF model semi-implicit denoising, is proposed in this paper and applied to change detections of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. All remote sensing images used in this article have been calibrated by ENVI software. First, the ROF model semi-implicit denoising method is used to denoise the remote sensing images. Second, for the denoised images, difference images are obtained by the logarithmic ratio and mean ratio methods. The final difference image is obtained by principal component analysis fusion (PCA fusion) of the two difference images. Finally, the final difference image is clustered by fuzzy local information C-means clustering (FLICM) to obtain the change regions. The research results show that the proposed method has high detection accuracy and time operation efficiency.
