Title
Comparison Of Wavelet-Based And Statistical Speckle Filters
Abstract
The wavelet transform has become a very popular tool in signal and image processing. Over the last few years, several authors have proposed wavelet-based filters for speckle reduction in SAR* images, and the results are generally reported to be superior to those obtained with traditional statistical speckle filters. In this paper we give a thorough experimental comparison of representative filters from both categories. We show that spatially adaptive statistical filters yield better noise reduction and preservation of structures than wavelet-based methods, but that the latter have certain advantages compared to statistical filters which are not spatially adaptive.
