摘要：In this paper, we focus on the despeckling of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images by variational methods which introduce nonlocal regularization functionals. To achieve this goal, two models are investigated from different aspects. The first model is derived for the logarithmically transformed (homomorphic) domain of the SAR data, and the other is derived for the original (nonhomomorphic) domain. The statistical properties of the speckle and the log-transformed speckle are analyzed, and the similarity measurements between pixels in the homomorphic domain and nonhomomorphic domain are then derived for constructing the corresponding nonlocal regularization functionals. Meanwhile, in the proposed models, we develop a strategy to adaptively choose the regularization parameters based on both the local heterogeneity information and the noise level of the images, aiming at getting a better balance between the goodness of fit of the original data and the amount of smoothing. A quasi-Newton iteration method is employed to quickly minimize the proposed adaptive nonlocal functionals. Experiments conducted on both simulated images and real SAR images confirm the good performances of the proposed methods, both in reducing speckle and preserving image quality.
