Speckle reduction with adaptive stack filters

Stack filters are a special case of non-linear filters. They have a good performance for filtering images with different types of noise while preserving edges and details. A stack filter decomposes an input image into stacks of binary images according to a set of thresholds. Each binary image is the...

Non-linear filters SAR image filtering Speckle noise Stack filters Stack filters are a special case of non-linear filters. They have a good performance for filtering images with different types of noise while preserving edges and details. A stack filter decomposes an input image into stacks of binary images according to a set of thresholds. Each binary image is then filtered by a Boolean function, which characterizes the filter. Adaptive stack filters can be computed by training using a prototype (ideal) image and its corrupted version, leading to optimized filters with respect to a loss function.

We used SAR images as input, since they are affected by speckle noise that makes classification a difficult task. © 2013. Fil:Buemi, M.E. Universidad de Buenos Aires.

description Stack filters are a special case of non-linear filters. They have a good performance for filtering images with different types of noise while preserving edges and details.
