摘要: 针对极化合成孔径雷达(Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar, PolSAR)图像相干斑抑制时结构保持的难题,该文提出一种PolSAR图像的双边滤波算法:结构保持的双边滤波(SPBF)。该算法通过结合边缘结构特征和地物散射特性,增强对PolSAR图像结构信息的描述,减少滤波时图像结构信息的损失,实现滤波性能的提高。该算法首先使用边缘检测模板在极化总功率图像(Span)上提取边缘方向,实现自适应选择滤波方向窗;其次,采用Freeman-Durden分解获取像素的散射机制,并根据极化数据的统计分布特性获取地物散射的聚类标记;最终在所选的方向窗中,以聚类标记图为掩膜,利用改进的双边滤波算法对PolSAR数据进行相干斑抑制。真实SAR数据的实验结果表明,该方法能够有效抑制相干斑噪声,同时提高了对图像的边缘、强点目标和极化散射特性的保持能力。Abstract: A Structure Preserving Bilateral Filtering (SPBF) is proposed to address the problem of preserving structural information for reducing speckle in a PolSAR image. The edge structural characteristics and surface scattering features are adopted to measure structural information in PolSAR image, which can reduce loss of structure and improve filtering performance. To begin with, the edge direction is determined by edge templates, and then an adaptive direction window is selected in span image. Furthermore, each scattering mechanism of the pixel is obtained by Freeman-Durden decomposition. And then surface scattering map is obtained by statistical distribution characteristics of polarimetric data. Finally, the filtering mask, which combines the cluster map with adapted direction window, is introduced into an improved bilateral filtering. The experimental results of real SAR images show that the proposed method can efficiently reduce speckle, and further preserve image edge, the strong point target and polarimetric scattering characteristics.
