Abstract: 
We propose a novel statistical distribution texton (s-texton) feature for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification. Motivated by the traditional texton feature, the framework of texture analysis, and the importance of statistical distribution in SAR images, the s-texton feature is developed based on the idea that parameter estimation of the statistical distribution can replace the filtering operation in the traditional texture analysis of SAR images. In the process of extracting the s-texton feature, several strategies are adopted, including pre-processing, spatial gridding, parameter estimation, texton clustering, and histogram statistics. Experimental results on TerraSAR data demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed s-texton feature.

用于SAR图像分类的统计分布基元特征

概要:本文提出了一种新颖的用于合成孔径雷达图像分类的统计分布基元(S基元)特征。受传统基元特征、纹理分析框架及SAR图像中统计分布重要性的启发,本文基于统计分布的参数估计可以替代传统SAR图像纹理分析中滤波器操作这一想法提出了S基元特征。在S基元特征的提取过程中,本文采用了一些策略,如预处理、空间网格化、参数估计、基元集群、直方图统计。在TerraSAR数据上的实验结果验证了本文S基元特征的有效性。
