Abstract
The unavoidable speckle in SAR images seriously interferes with image quality and has a negative effect on subsequent image interpretation. The existing filters still need to be strengthened in terms of both noise suppression and edge preservation. Based on this, a novel non-local means filter by multi-directional local plane inclination angle (MDLPIA) is proposed. The proposed filter uses the MDLPIA to reconstruct a new weight function for non-local means filtering. One instance of simulation data and four real SAR images are used for filtering experiments. In the experiment, seven other filters with excellent performance are selected for comparison, and six quantitative indicators are selected for algorithm performance evaluation. The experimental results show that the proposed filter achieves good visual and index evaluation results, and the equivalent number of looks (ENL) is at least 22.13 times higher than the unfiltered image. The effectiveness and superiority of the proposed algorithm are thus verified.
