Performance assessment of multitemporal SAR images´ visual interpretation

Trying to compute or find items on SAR images, is often hard to achieve for photo-interpreters due to the speckle. Hence, the choice of a filtering approach often appears to be a tough choice. With the large number of images acquired on an area it is now possible to use multitemporal filters. When using those kind of filters the difficulty lies in finding a trade-off between temporal and/or spatial loss. Most of the time photo-interpreters set their choice on a subjective criterion. In this paper visual interpretation performance is tested to achieve an objectivity on the choice of different filtering approaches.
