Abstract

In order to reduce speckle noise and maintain targets' characteristics in SAR image with low signal to noise(SNR), an adaptive speckle reduction algorithm based on the wavelet threshold de-noising and the Forward and Back(FAB) diffusion equation for marine scenes is proposed. First, a new wavelet thresholding de-noising function which can avoid shortcomings of other wavelet de-noising function such as Hard-thresholding, Soft-thresholding and Firm-thresholding function is proposed to filter part of noise and reduce the impact of noise on the FAB operation. Second, how to select suitable constant parameters is analyzed and the improved FAB operation is used to eliminate the influence of discontinuous points generated in wavelet operation, suppress the residual noise and stress targets such as bright points and edge. The effectiveness of the algorithm is verified by the experiments with the GF-3 image.
