Image despeckling based on LMMSE wavelet shrinkage | Poprawa jakości obrazu przy wykorzystaniu falkowej zbieżności LMMSE

A low complexity method for suppressing speckle in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is proposed. This method doesn't require the logarithmic transform and is an extension of the linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) filter to the image wavelet representation. A spatially adaptive shrinkage function is obtained and each modified coefficient is decided separately. Simulation results for the simulated SAR images demonstrate the proposed method outperforms some representative SAR despeckling methods.
