Abstract

A new method, sparse representation based spectral clustering (SC) with Nyström method, is proposed for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image segmentation. Different from the conventional SC, this proposed technique is developed by using the sparse coefficients which obtained by solving l1 minimization problem to construct the affinity matrix and the Nyström method is applied to alleviate the segmentation process. The advantage of our proposed method is that we do not need to select the scaling parameter in the Gaussian kernel function artificially. We apply the proposed method, k-means and the classic spectral clustering algorithm with Nyström method to SAR image segmentation. The results show that compared with the other two methods, the proposed method can obtain much better segmentation results.
