Abstract

Speckle filtering seems to be a never-ending topic for polarimetric synthetic aperture radar imagery processing. Constantly emerging literatures demonstrate that this issue deserves further research effort, especially in the context of much more high spatial resolution. A comparative study will be performed in this paper for recently proposed method such as non-local SAR speckle filtering, Extended Sigma filter proposed by Lee, non-local means filter, Bilateral filter, and so on. Their performance on spatial details preserving and polarimetric properties preserving should be measured thoroughly. Further more the computing performance on large-scale dataset should also be measured.
