A Bayesian method for speckle reduction in single-look SAR images

In this paper the problem of despeckling Synthetic Aperture Radar images is addressed. An algorithm developed in the Bayesian estimation theory framework is presented. In particular, considering single look images, the algorithm applies an homomorphic filter followed by an Iterative Wiener filter to reduce the speckle. The proposed approach is tested on simulated and real X-band datasets showing interesting noise reduction capabilities.
