Abstract :
A multifractal spectrum, which gives a complete statistical description of images, can be used to characterize radar images. In this paper, a new method based on multifractal analysis is proposed to segment the SAR image into regions and to highlight their boundaries. A computation experiment shows that the segmentation result is encouraging
