Abstract
In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed using speckle reducing anisotropic diffusion (SRAD) and gradient domain guided image filtering (GDGIF) to reduce speckle in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. SRAD is suitable for reducing multiplicative noise in SAR images because it can directly process log-compressed data. Since GDGIF has edge-aware weighting, it is adaptively applied to SRAD result images to additionally reduce speckle noise. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm, compared to existing filtering methods, shows excellent speckle noise reduction performance and a low computational complexity.
