The present invention discloses a single-polarization
synthetic aperture radar image pseudo colorization method. The method includes the following steps that: 1, the amplitude data of a single-view SAR image are obtained, negative
exponential transformation is performed on the amplitude data, the transformed amplitude data are normalized to an interval of [0, 1]; 2, the
grayscale u of the interval of [0,1] is corresponding to the
grayscale U of an interval of [0,255]; 3, the
grayscale of the interval of [0,255] is divided into 4
layers, and each layer of pixel grayscale is transformed differently, so that RGB data can be obtained; and 4, the RGB-
channel data obtained in the step 3 are synthetized into a pseudo-
color image. With the method of the invention adopted, the obtained pseudo-
color image has a unique noctilucent effect; an artificial target with strong scattering and a natural region with weak scattering can be
well differentiated, in specific, the weak scattering region embodies
deep blue, the strong scattering target embodies orange; and since evident
visual discrimination can be realized, target judgment and interpretation can be benefitted.
