Abstract
Over the past three to four decades the SAR-synthetic Aperture Radar imagery has become a beneficial and important application over the optical Satellite imagery, Because of its ability to operate in all-weather condition and capability of all time data acquisition; The main issue in this imaging technique is presence of grainy noise termed as ‘speckle’, Which will affect the overall quality of image, hence it is highly required to use effective speckle reduction techniques to suppress speckle. Various filtering techniques are available to reduce the speckle noise and to enhance the quality of the image. The main objective of this paper is to present a quantitative approach of de-specking algorithm on SAR images with adequate mathematical parametric analysis.

Speckle analysis and smoothing of synthetic aperture radar images

TL;DR: This paper develops a statistical technique to define a noise model, and then successfully applies a local statistics noise filtering algorithm to a set of actual SEASAT SAR images, resulting in smoothed images that permit observers to resolve fine detail with an enhanced edge effect.

An Adaptive Method of Speckle Reduction and Feature Enhancement for SAR Images Based on Curvelet Transform and Particle Swarm Optimization

TL;DR: An adaptive method based on the mirror-extended curvelet transform and the improved particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, which reduce speckle noise and enhance edge features and contrast of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images and outperforms the wavelet- and curvelet-based nonadaptive despeckling and enhancement methods.

Speckle suppression using recursive wavelet transforms

TL;DR: The quantitative analysis is carried out and compared with the results of some existing filtering algorithms including median, K nearest neighbour averaging, Lee's multiplicative and Crimmins' geometric filters, showing that imagery filtered by the wavelet transform is the smoothest.
