The invention provides a method for measuring the maximum
signal to
noise ratio of a
remote sensing image. The method for measuring the maximum
signal to
noise ratio of the
remote sensing image comprises the steps that an image
sample area is extracted automatically through a sliding window, traversal analysis is conducted on an image to be tested, multiple sample statistic extreme values of the image are obtained, and then the maximum
signal to
noise ratio of the image to be tested is calculated by combining the sample statistic extreme values. According to the method for measuring the maximum
signal to noise ratio of the
remote sensing image, the detail information of the image can be effectively mined, the defect that according to existing main methods, the requirements for a
sample area for measurement of the maximum
signal to noise ratio are high is overcome, and the universality is achieved; in addition, measurement is conducted automatically, the influence of human factors is avoided, the unique maximum
signal to noise ratio measurement result is obtained, and the
repeatability is high. Based on all the advantages, the method has the broad application prospect and high application value in extraction and evaluation of information of remote sensing images.
