Yang Meng, Zhang Gong. SAR images filtering via sparse optimization[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2012, 17(11): 1439-1443. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20121114.
a new method for filtering SAR images using sparse optimization model is proposed. The algorithm based on sparse representation via an over-complete dictionary has a strong data sparseness and provides solid modeling assumptions for the data sets. First
a sparse optimization model based on structural properties of then SAR image is built by regulation. Second
a practical optimization strategy is used to design a redundancy dictionary. Then
an over-complete dictionary is constructed by employing a combined dictionary consisting of wavelets
shearlets
and a redundancy dictionary. Finally
the filtering process is realized through the solution of the multi-objective optimization problem in which the mean backscatter power is reconstructed. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has good de-speckling capability and better enhances image details.
