Abstract

Intensity fluctuation of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, due to speckle and texture, statistically brings series connections of dark pixels. Resolution enhancement of SAR systems can provide texture with correlation properties. In this paper, simulation studies are carried out to investigate the relation between the occurrence of the stochastic dark line features and texture correlation.
