The invention relates to an SAR (
Synthetic Aperture Radar) image
glacier recognition method based on
texture feature assistance, which is used for recognizing a
glacier by utilizing an interference measurement method of Sentinel-1A data and combining texture information. The method comprises the following steps: utilizing Sentinel-1A data to carry out interference
processing to obtain a coherencecoefficient graph; extracting seven textural features of mean value, variance, homogeneity, contrast, dissimilarity, entropy and correlation of the coherence coefficient graph; and comparing
glacier extraction effects among different
texture feature combinations. And selecting four textural features of mean value, variance, homogeneity and dissimilarity under the VV polarization mode with the highest classification precision, and training by utilizing an
SVM classifier to obtain classes of glaciers, rocks, accumulated
snow and the like. And converting the classified data into a shape format, and segmenting the data through
ridge lines to obtain a glacier
boundary data set. Compared with a traditional threshold segmentation method based on a coherence coefficient graph, texture features areintroduced, and glacier recognition is more accurate.
