For polarimetric SAR (PolSAR) images, speckle noise filtering remains a challenging task due to the difficulty to reduce a scatterer-dependent noise while preserving the polarimetric and the spatial information. This paper introduces a modified bilateral filter, Bilateral Semantic Co-Occurrence Filter (BSCF), to preserve the edges and details of data effectively. The weight of the BSCF is defined in terms of spatial distance and polarimetric distance described by the semantic co-occurrence matrix which takes the scattering mechanism and the semantic similarity into account. Experiments show that BSCF performs well in preserve spatial and polarimetric information while dealing with edges and details effectively.
