LI He, QIN Zhiyuan, ZHOU Liya. Study on SAR Image Speckle Noise Smoothing Algorithm with TV-PDE[J]. Journal of Image and Graphics, 2010, 15(6): 910. DOI: 10.11834/jig.20100609.
The inherent speckle noise of SAR image affects the interpretation and the further processing,so it is important to suppress speckle noise of SAR images. A nice speckle filter would be preserving details while suppressing the noise. But now none of the existent filters can solve this problem ideally. TV-PDE(Total Variation Partial Differential Equation) was introduced to denoise speckle noise because is important to reduce the speckles for SAR image. The mathematical model for denoise was built and then the capability of this model was analyzed and also the importance of selecting preference. Experiments proved the validity of the model. Taking Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio(PSNR) as criterion the best preference was found by using polynomial fitting. The model preserved the edge when denoise the speckle better comparing with other algorithms according to EPI(Edge Preserved Index).
