Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image segmentation by fuzzy c- means clustering technique with thresholding for iceberg images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm is widely used for image segmentation. The purpose of clustering is to identify natural groupings of data from a large data set, which results in concise representation of system’s behavior. It can be used to detect icebergs regardless of ambient conditions like rain, darkness and fog. As a result SAR images can be used for iceberg surveillance. In this paper we have investigate FCM with thresholding for iceberg image segmentation for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. The results showed that the assessment parameters; mean and entropy have lower values for efficient segmentation.

Segmentation of Sar Images Using Fuzzy C Means with Non Local Spatial Information
The Segmentation of the Images refers to extracting the needed region from the image based on some specified methodologies. Thresholding Approach, Model-based Approach, Level Set Approach are some of the segmentation methodologies. The clustering methodologies can provide accurate results for most of the cases. As the number of clusters separated from the image increases, the segmentation accur...
متن کاملSpeckle Reduction in Synthetic Aperture Radar Images in Wavelet Domain Exploiting Intra-scale and Inter-scale Dependencies
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...
