Feature Analysis and Selection of SAR Image Based on Contourlet Transform

Article Preview

Abstract:

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is a sort of microwave remote sensing imaging radar, which has much advantage. But it also has much shortcoming, such as speckle noise and directional sensitivity. Reducing impact of them to SAR image processing and applications is an important content, especially, extracting features for ground objects. Contourlet transform is a kind of multi-scale and multi-direction transform theory, and it is a sparse representation mode, too. This paper mainly studied Contourlet transform theory and its decomposition structure, and then it was used to extract SAR image features. Experimental results show that Contourlet transform can effetely extract SAR image features.
