METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING SAR IMAGES BASED ON AN ANISOTROPIC DIFFUSION FILTERING ALGORITHM

摘要

A computer system 60 for processing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images includes a database for storing SAR images to be processed, and a processor 69 for processing a SAR image from the database. The processing includes determining noise in a SAR image to be processed, selecting a noise threshold for the SAR image based on the determined noise, and mathematically adjusting an anisotropic diffusion algorithm based on the selected noise threshold. The adjusted anisotropic diffusion algorithm is applied to the SAR image.
