This work presents the use of stochastic measures of similarities as features with statistical significance for the design of despeckling nonlocal means filters. Assuming that the observations follow a Gamma model with two parameters (mean and number of looks), patches are compared by means of the Kullback-Leibler and Hellinger distances, and by their Shannon entropies. A convolution mask is formed using the p-values of tests that verify if the patches come from the same distribution. The filter performances are assessed using well-known phantoms, three measures of quality, and a Monte Carlo experiment with several factors. The proposed filters are contrasted with the Refined Lee and NL-SAR filters. |
