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 (S AR) images includes a database for storing complex SAR images to be processe d, 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 c omprising a plurality of pixels, and applying a complex anisotropic diffusio n algorithm to the complex SAR data set. The complex SAR data set includes a real and an imaginary part for each pixel.
