Application of Addition and Multiplication Noise Model Parameter Estimation in INSAR Image Processing

Abstract

INSAR images are inevitably contaminated by noise during the process of generation, transmission, compression, and reception. Noise not only affects the quality of the INSAR image, but also affects subsequent operations such as the design of corresponding filters, INSAR image segmentation, compression, restoration, and feature recognition. The INSAR image noise model is mainly divided into additive noise and multiplicative noise. Compared with additive noise, multiplicative noise is more complicated due to INSAR image correlation and non-Gaussian. Based on least squares algorithm system of additive and multiplicative mixed noise model, this paper proposes a method of using PCA to remove multiplicative gamma distribution noise. The pure noise coefficient is obtained by subtracting the original coefficient from the diagonal wavelet coefficient of the noisy image, and the mode of the local variance is calculated as the estimation value of the noise standard deviation. Experiments show that the proposed method can obtain more accurate estimation of noise; in particular in the case of less noise and more detailed image information, its effect is more obvious.
