A No-Reference Edge-Preservation Assessment Index for SAR Image Filters under a Bayesian Framework Based on the Ratio Gradient
2022
Overview
Denoising is an essential preprocessing step for most applications using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images at different processing levels. Besides suppressing the noise, a good filter should also effectively preserve the image edge information. To quantitatively assess the edge-preservation performance of SAR filters, a number of indices have been investigated in the literature; however, most of them do not fully employ the statistical traits of the SAR image. In this paper, we review some of the typical edge-preservation assessment indices. A new referenceless index is then proposed. The ratio gradient is utilized to characterize the difference between two non-overlapping neighborhoods on opposite sides of each pixel in both the speckled and despeckled images. Based on these gradients and the statistical traits of the speckle, the proposed indicator is derived under a Bayesian framework. A series of experiments conducted with both simulated and real SAR datasets reveal that the proposed index shows good performances, in both robustness and consistency. For reproducibility, the source codes of the index and the testing datasets are provided.
