Abstract :
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) contains information features different from those of infrared images and conventional photography. Image quality measures specifically created for SAR are necessary to measure SAR processor performance especially in the context of lossy image data compression. The quality measures discussed include several existing measures and newly developed measures created to better gauge specific features of SAR imagery. Each quality performance measure is evaluated subjectively to determine the applicability to SAR image fidelity
