A scheme for stabilizing the image generation for VideoSAR

Abstract:
Using methods for SAR images in order to create VideoSAR raises the question of their temporal consistency with the scene. Some unadjusted normalizations and croppings even introduce artifacts into the videos. In this paper we present a scheme for stabilizing the generation of SAR videos to prevent artificial flickering of large parts of the frames of the video. The scheme is based on statistics of the video and we show that our method leads to a stable video using real data.
