New soft morphological parameterized symmetric logarithmic image processing filtering algorithm

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging has the inherent random speckle noise, which seriously affects the quality of the SAR image, and it is very important to study the suppression of the speckle noise. In view of the fact that the traditional spot noise suppression method could not remove speckle noise while protecting the image texture information, a novel filtering algorithm is proposed based on the soft morphological and parameterized symmetric logarithmic image processing model. The proposed algorithm combines the flexibility of the order-statistic soft morphological operations and the characteristic of the parameterized symmetric logarithmic image processing model which establishes a parameterized symmetric structure processing part of the image, which can suppress speckle noise while protecting the texture information on the image. In order to validate the despecking performance of the proposed algorithm, we compare the effect of the filter with some of the existing filtering algorithms, and use some of the image evaluation parameters of the suppress speckle noise image to evaluate the performance of the SMPSLIP filtering algorithm. Experimental results show the effectiveness of this algorithm.
