Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR)

✔ SAR ?

– Active imaging system – Working in the frequency range 1-10 GHz – All-weather system – High resolution compared to real aperture radar

✔ Applications

– Agriculture, ecology, geology, oceanography,

hydrology, military...

✔ Nature of SAR images

– High volume of data – Speckle noise – More information in high frequencies than optical

images

Lossy Image Compression Techniques

✔ Joint Photographic Experts

Group (JPEG)

– Discrete Cosine Transform – Fast implementation – Blocking artifacts

✔ Set Partitioning In

Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT)

– Discrete Wavelet Transform – Good visual quality – Ringing effect for high compression

Quality Metrics for SAR Images

✔ Standard Metrics

– Mean Squared Error (MSE) – Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) – Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR)

✔ Other Metrics for SAR Images

– Weighted Signal to Noise Ratio (WSNR) – Linear Distortion Quality Measure – Correlation of Edge Information

Simulations

✔ Space borne Imaging Radar-C and X-Band

Synthetic Aperture Radar

✔ 512 x 512 Sub-Images ✔ 8 bit grayscale ✔ Pre-filtered by a modified σ-filter – adapted to handle spot noise

Estimation of a Linear Model

✔ Linear Least Square Estimate ✔ Linear Model is needed to

– compute the Noise Image – estimate the Distortion Transfer Function (DTF)

✔ Drawbacks

– Model assumes uncorrelated additive noise – Variance of the estimate

Conclusions

✔Standard metrics does not give results

consistent with visual quality

✔A framework for evaluation of SAR Images

– Weighted Signal to Noise Ratio – Linear Distortion Measure – Distortion of edge information

✔SPIHT outperforms JPEG
