Pang Xiaohong. Multiple -window Processing of SAR Image with Speckle-smoothing and Edge-preserving[J]. Journal of Remote Sensing, 1998, (4). DOI: 10.11834/jrs.19980405.
In the processing of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Images
a large window size
which is often used in estimating the local statistics of the image and filtering the speclke is needed. On the other hand
contrary
detection of edges and textural features often need small sized windows. Normal filters
which are intermediary ofthe two above
don’t give better results. This paper presents a new effective algorithm to solve the problem. In this method
the edges and the textural features of the SAR images are presented so the the problem of edge smearing in the normal filtering algorithm is avoid and the speckles are filtered effectively.
