Abstract

Super resolution (SR) is an attractive issue in image processing. In the synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image, speckle noise is a crucial problem that is multiplicative. Therefore, numerous custom SR methods considering additive Gaussian noise cannot respond to this image degradation model. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a novel variational convex optimization model for the single SAR image SR reconstruction with speckle noise that is one of the first works in this field. Employing maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator and proposing an effective regularization based on combination of sparse representation, total variation (TV) and a novel feature space based soft projection tool to use merits of them is the main idea. To solve the proposed model, the split Bregman algorithm is employed efficiently. Experimental results for the multiple synthetic and realistic SAR images show the effectiveness of proposed method in terms of both fidelity and visual perception.
