A novel method to reduce speckle in SAR images

Abstract: A novel three-step method to reduce speckle in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is presented. First, an edge detector is used to detect the edge orientations in SAR images. Second, using a data processing method named empirical mode decomposition, the SAR image is smoothed along four directions: horizontal, vertical, left diagonal and right diagonal, respectively. Third, the SAR image is reconstructed such that if the edge direction is horizontal, the pixel smoothed along the horizontal direction is used … Show more

“…Nevertheless, the 2-D method has been applied already. Examples of geophysical applications have been reported by Han et al [2002], where they used the method to reduce speckle in synthetic aperture radar images, and by Sinclair and Pegram [2005], where they used the EMD for temporal-spatial rainfall data.…”

“…EMD [23], originally developed for nonlinear and non-smooth signals, posits that each signal consists of distinct eigenmode functions, each of which exhibits potential linearity or nonlinearity. Subsequently, researchers have extended the application of EMD to various domains, including image processing [24][25][26].…”

“…The EMD is based on the sequential extraction of energy associated with various intrinsic time scales of the signal, called Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMF). The EMD has received more attention in terms of interpretations [10,11], improvement [1,[12][13][14], Time-Frequency Analysis [15][16][17], denoising [18,19], Speech enhancement [20], and Radar field [21][22][23][24][25] . .…”
