Abstract

The importance of high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging is undeniable in applications for Earth monitoring since it offers useful data for analysis. Post-image processing methods including edge and object detection, segmentation, and speckle noise removal are important to performed to find the information of images. The key technique that makes images aesthetically pleasing and understandable is despeckling. The presented study assays the latest trends & state of the art techniques for SAR image despeckling to gauge the performance & agility of existing techniques by performing a contemporary combination of theoretical & experimental analysis. This study analyses various techniques used in literature. The quantitative & qualitative analysis is done using Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Universal Image Quality Index (UIQI) indices to find the better approach

Keywords:

SAR image despeckling, speckle noise, PSNR, UIQI, noise reduction
