The invention discloses an SAR
image noise reduction method based on shear wave coefficient
processing and belongs to the technical field of
digital image processing. The SAR
image noise reduction method based on shear wave coefficient
processing comprises the steps of based on the sparsity of converted image shear wave coefficients, firstly establishing a sparse representation model based on the image shear wave coefficients, and then realizing unbiased
estimation on sparse representation coefficients in
statistical mean sense by use of a Stagewise Orthogonal
Matching Pursuit (StOMP)
algorithm and reconstructing the sparse-represented shear wave coefficients into a
noise-reduced image, making up for the loss of image details due to the partial lost coefficients in sparse representation, performing further iterative denoising on the result of the
projection reconstruction of the image in the shear
wave function space corresponding to the lost coefficients by use of the capacity of a shear
wave function corresponding to the part of coefficients in extracting
image edge details in combination with an
energy functional-based Total Variation (TV) method, and finally, obtaining a denoised image rich in details; as a result, the
speckle noise of the SAR image is suppressed and the detail texture of the image is also maintained; the SAR
image noise reduction method based on shear wave coefficient processing can be applied to SAR
image noise reduction.
