Speckle, appearing in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images as granular noise, is due to the
interference of waves reflected from many elementary scatterers. Speckle in SAR images …

This paper addresses a speckle reduction method of coregistered SAR images based on
pixel-to-pixel summation. The sample intensity summation technique (incoherent …

The recent launches of three fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) satellites
have shown that polarimetric radar imaging can provide abundant data on the Earth's …

A general model for multisource classification of remotely sensed data based on Markov
random fields (MRF) is proposed. A specific model for fusion of optical images, synthetic …

Intended as an overview aimed at potential users of remotely sensed spatial distributions
and temporal variations of soil moisture, this paper begins with an introductory section on …

Proposes a new method for statistical classification of multisource data. The method is suited
for land-use classification based on the fusion of remotely sensed images of the same scene …

An algorithm to take advantage of this polarization diversity to suppress the speckle effect
with much less resolution broadening than using spatial filtering is discussed. The coupling …

This paper presents progress toward a geophysical and biophysical information processor
for synthetic aperture radar (SAR). This processor operates in a sequential fashion to first …

This introduction to the use of radar for remote sensing of natural surfaces provides the
reader with a thorough grounding in practical applications, focusing particularly on terrestrial …

Land-cover classification of an ERS-1/JERS-1 composite is explored in the context of
regional-to global-scale applicability. Each of these orbiting synthetic aperture radars …
