Radar Imagery Filtering With Use Of The Mathematical Morphology Operations, Przemysław Kupidura, Piotr Koza

Przemysław Kupidura

This paper concerns the application of mathematical morphology operations for suppression of speckle from radar satellite images. Different traditional widely-used filters are compared with the morphological alternate filters, especially with the filter with multiple structuring function. The comprehensive comparison of the traditional filters is presented, as well as the background on mathematical morphology and morphological filters. Then the evaluation of compared filters applied on TerraSAR-X images is presented.
