AN EDGE DETECTOR BA SED ON WAVELET TRANSFORM FOR SAR IMAGE

Edge detecting is a f undamental issue in image analysis and image processing. In this paper, based on wavelet transform, an edge detector of SAR image is studied to serve the image aided navigation. Though wavelet transform is efficient as an edge detector, a l ot of false edges will be extracted from a SAR image, especially in areas of hig h reflectivity, with wavelet transform and a fixed threshold because SAR images are always contaminated by speckle. Therefore, this paper develops an algorithm by using a variable threshold with constant false alarm rates to help suppressin g the speckle in SAR images. Finally, two simulating tests are given and the res ults show that the effect of the multiplicative speckle is controlled and there are few false edges in the gotten edge images. Moreover, owing to the threshold from the wavelet transform coefficients, the algorithm can assure the real time of SAR image aided navigation.
