Applications of Statistical Directional Characteristics in Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery Interpretation

Article Preview

Abstract:

The concept of Statistical Directional Characteristics (SDCs) is introduced in this paper. The applications of SDCs in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery interpretation are discussed. Two applications, i.e., target recognition and line detection, are raised to demonstrate the effectiveness of the SDCs-based methods. Both numerical and graphical results are presented. According to the experiment results, the SDCs-based methodology shows advantages both in robustness and in efficiency.
