Intelligent compression of SAR imagery using multiresolution Markov models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a system for coding synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imagery, whereby regions of interest and background information are coded independently of each other. A multiresolution constant-false-alarm-rate (CFAR) detection scheme is utilized to discriminate between target regions and natural clutter. Based upon the detected target regions, we apply less compression to targets, and more compression to background data. This methodology preserves relevant features of targets for further analysis, and preserves the background only to the extent of providing contextual information. The resulting system dramatically reduces the bandwidth/storage requirements of the digital SAR imagery, while preserving the target-specific utility of the imagery.

متن کاملIntelligent scalable image watermarking robust against progressive DWT-based compression using genetic algorithms
Image watermarking refers to the process of embedding an authentication message, called watermark, into the host image to uniquely identify the ownership. In this paper a novel, intelligent, scalable, robust wavelet-based watermarking approach is proposed. The proposed approach employs a genetic algorithm to find nearly optimal positions to insert watermark. The embedding positions coded as chr...

Intelligent compression is important to image transmission in real time over bandlimited channels for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) payloads deployed on unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), where target areas are encoded with high fidelity, while background data are encoded with lesser fidelity. A target-aided SAR image intelligent compression (TAIC) system is presented in this paper, which utilize...
متن کاملSegmentation and Compression of SAR Imagery via Hierarchical Stochastic Modelling
To abate the enormous costs incurred in the transmission and storage of SAR data, we present here a seg-mentation driven compression technique using hierarchical stochastic modeling within a multiscale framework. Our approach to SAR image compression is unique in that we exploit the multiscale stochastic structure inherent in SAR imagery. This structure is well captured by a set of scale auto-r...
