Speckle Noise Removal for Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery Based on Statistics Filters and Nonlinearing Function
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are contaminated by multiplicative noise, due to the coherence of the radar wavelength, labeled as speckle noise which results in an important reduction in the efficiency of target detection and classification algorithms . In this paper the corrupted pixels are...

| description | Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are contaminated by multiplicative noise, due to the coherence of the radar wavelength, labeled as speckle noise which results in an important reduction in the efficiency of target detection and classification algorithms . In this paper the corrupted pixels are replaced by an estimated value using the simple filter based statistics filters with nonlinear function which are worked at the same time to reduce the speckle noise without blurring edges or other features in SAR imagery. Quantitative and qualitative comparisons of the results obtained by the proposed method with the results achieved from the other speckle noise reduction filters demonstrate its higher performance for speckle reduction with preserving high frequency features (edges) in SAR images. |
