主 题:Speckle Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) filters adaptive window size
摘 要:Speckle degrades the radiometric quality of a Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR)*** methods for speckle reduction have used a fixedsize window for filtering the entire ***,however,may not be effective for the entire image,as land covers of different sizes require different filtering *** this paper,a novel method is proposed by which each pixel in the image is filtered with a window appropriate for the size of object within *** real in-phase and the imaginary quadrature components of the SAR images determine the best window size and the pixels in the intensity image are filtered using their own optimal *** proposed method is presented for both singleand multi-polarized SAR images,and the results of several common filters that were modified are *** approach is applied to two RADARSAT-2 images:one over San Francisco,California,USA and the other over ***’s,Newfoundland and Labrador,Canada,producing results that were similar to,or outperformed,comparable filters while retaining details and suppressing speckle *** the method was successful for single-look intensity data,it offers great potential for multi-look and amplitude data as well.
