Embodiment 1

[0065] In the imaging process of SAR, there will inevitably be the interference of coherent speckle noise. This kind of speckle noise will seriously affect the understanding and interpretation of SAR images. Therefore, before processing the SAR image, preprocessing for speckle reduction is usually performed. At present, there are many methods for speckle reduction in SAR images. Traditional filtering methods such as Lee filtering, Kuan filtering, Frost filtering, etc. generally take the mean value of the local homogeneous area, and adopt a strategy of retaining the points that change quickly. The downside is that noise around edges is also preserved. In order to overcome these shortcomings, Charles et al. proposed a PPB method in 2009, which is considered to be one of the best SAR image despeckling methods currently. However, the Euclidean distance used by the PPB algorithm in the process of speckle removal for SAR images cannot be well suited for the multiplicative noise mo...

Abstract

The invention discloses a ratio distribution-based SAR image non-local despeckling method, which mainly solves the problem that the calculation of a similarity weight value in the existing non-local despeckling method is inaccurate, and a realizing process of the method comprises the steps of: 1, inputting an SAR image and initializing parameters; 2, for each pixel of the input SAR image, calculating ratio distances dt1 of the pixel with neighborhood pixels by ratio distribution; 3, calculating priori distances dt2 between adjacent pixels; 4, calculating a similarity weight value of the pixel point with each neighborhood pixel point according to the distances dt1 and dt2; 5, performing weighted averaging on a central pixel to obtain a central pixel estimation value; 6, repeating steps 2-5, traversing the whole image to obtain an estimation image; 7, repeating steps 3-6 till ending of iteration, thus obtaining a final despeckling image. The similarity measuring accuracy of an image block is improved by an iteration manner through using a multiplicative speckle property of the SAR image and adopting the ratio distances and priori distances, so detail information such as edge and textures are better kept while speckle noise of the SAR image is effectively filtered.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of image processing, and mainly relates to speckle filtering for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images, specifically a method for non-local speckle reduction of SAR images based on ratio distribution, which can be used for speckle reduction of SAR images deal with. Background technique [0002] The image formed by synthetic aperture radar has the characteristics of all-weather, all-time, high resolution and strong penetrating ability. Therefore, this image is widely used in target recognition, transformation detection and water surface surveillance. However, SAR images are corrupted by multiplicative speckle noise, which comes from continuous interference from backscattered radar reflections. This speckle noise destroys the radiometric resolution of SAR images and affects background analysis and understanding. [0003] The goal of despeckling methods is to preserve image feature information, such as textur...
