Wavelet Markov Random Field Based on Context and Hidden Class Label for SAR Image Segmentation
基于上下文和隐类属的小波域马尔可夫随机场SAR图像分割

Because of the property that Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images include plenty of multiplicative speckle noise, an effective image segmentation algorithm is proposed based on the wavelet hidden-class-label Markov Random Field (MRF) to suppress the affect of speckle. To consider the clustering and persistence of wavelet, the hidden-class-label MRF is extended to the wavelet domain with a new wavelet model for segmented image named hidden-class-label mixture heavy-tailed model, and interscale transition probability is estimated with improved context, then a new Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) classification is obtained. The experimental results show that the method suppresses the affect of noise effectively to achieve exact and robust segmentation result.
