Abstract:
This paper presents a comparison for non-quadratic regularization methods for SLC Synthetic Aperture Radar image despeckling and information extraction. Three regularization methods are compared: the quasi Newton approach, a split Bergman iteration for solving minimization of cost function a Total variation minimization using Chambolle’s algorithm. Methods are compared and assessed using objective measurements and different window sizes for synthetic and real SAR images.
