Speckle Reduction of SAR Images using Adaptive Sigmoid Thresholding and Analysis of various Filtering Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, an effective method for speckle reduction and image enhancement for SAR images is proposed. The novelty of the proposed method is the adaptive calculation of parameters with ease in adaptive sigmoid thresholding approach for removing the speckle noise from the SAR images followed by post-processing operation. The noise removal operation is carried out in wavelet domain using db4 wavelet. The experimental results show that the proposed method despeckles the given image efficiently. Filtering is done as post-processing operation. Comparative analysis of various filters has been carried out and the results prove that Gaussian filtering is more appropriate for enhancing the quality of despeckled SAR images.

A Novel Thresholding Technique for Adaptive Noise Reduction using Neural Networks
The speckle corrupted image is a traditional problem in both biomedical and in synthetic aperture processing applications, including synthetic aperture radar (SAR). In a SAR image, speckle manifests itself in the form of a random pixel-to-pixel variation with statistical properties similar to those of thermal noise. Due to its granular appearance in an image, speckle noise makes it very difficu...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images are inherently affected by a multiplicative noise-like phenomenon called speckle, which is indeed the nature of all coherent systems. Speckle decreases the performance of almost all the information extraction methods such as classification, segmentation, and change detection, therefore speckle must be suppressed. Despeckling can be applied by the multilooki...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Using Laplace Distribution
Speckle is a granular noise-like phenomenon which appears in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images due to coherent properties of SAR systems. The presence of speckle complicates both human and automatic analysis of SAR images. As a result, speckle reduction is an important preprocessing step for many SAR remote sensing applications. Speckle reduction can be made through multi-looking during the...

The SAR and SAS images are perturbed by a multiplicative noise called speckle, due to the coherent nature of the scattering phenomenon. If the background of an image is uneven, the fixed thresholding technique is not suitable to segment an image using adaptive thresholding method. In this paper a new Adaptive thresholding method is proposed to reduce the speckle noise, preserving the structural...
