METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PROCESSING SAR IMAGES BASED ON A COMPLEX ANISOTROPIC DIFFUSION FILTERING ALGORITHM

摘要

A computer system (60) for processing complex synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images includes a database for storing complex SAR images to be processed, and a processor (69) for processing a complex SAR image from the database. The processing includes receiving a complex SAR data set for a SAR image comprising a plurality of pixels, and applying a complex anisotropic diffusion algorithm to the complex SAR data set. The complex SAR data set includes a real and an imaginary part for each pixel.
