Abstract

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is satellite imagery that has multiple applications in variegated fields but is often corrupted by single dependent multiplicative speckle noise. Its multiplicative nature decreases scope for image perception, recognition & limits SAR image’s applications. Thus, increasing the need for effective & astute SAR image despeckling techniques that not only excise speckle noise but also preserve SAR imageries features, details, and resolution quality. This study analyses various research literature & techniques namely, Adaptive Speckle Reduction Filter, Conditional Averaging filter, Speckle Reduction Filter, Anisotropic diffusion, Speckle Reduction Filter and Speckle Reduction Filter from theoretical, quantitative & qualitative aspects using indexes like SSIM, and RMSE to discover the comparatively superior approach.

Keywords

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), Speckle Noise, SSIM, RMSE
