Abstract

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are disturbed by a multiplicative noise depending on the signal (the ground reflectivity) due to the radar wave coherence. Images have a strong variability from one pixel to another reducing essentially the efficiency of the algorithms of detection and classification. We propose to filter this noise with a multiresolution analysis of the image. The wavelet coefficient of the reflectivity is estimated with a Bayesian model, maximizing the a posteriori probability density function. The different probability density function are modeled with the Pearson system of distributions. The resulting filter combines the classical adaptive approach with wavelet decomposition where the local variance of high-frequency images is used in order to segment and filter wavelet coefficients
