Intensity Information

Fuzzy C-Means is an unsupervised clustering algorithm for the automatic clustering of data. Synthetic Aperture Radar Image Segmentation has been a challenging task because of the presence of speckle noise. Therefore the segmentation process can not directly rely on the intensity information alone but must consider several derived features in order to get satisfactory segmentation results. In this paper, it is attempted to use the fuzzy nature of classification for the purpose of unsupervised region segmentation in which FCM is employed. Different features are obtained by filtering of the image by using different spatial filters and are selected for segmentation criteria. The segmentation performance is determined by the accuracy compared with a different state of the art techniques proposed recently.

Polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) image classification is a recent technology with great practical value in the field of remote sensing. However, due to the time-consuming and labor-intensive data collection, there are few labeled datasets available. Furthermore, most available state-of-the-art classification methods heavily suffer from the speckle noise. To solve these problems, in this paper, a novel semi-supervised algorithm based on self-training and superpixels is proposed. First, the Pauli-RGB image is over-segmented into superpixels to obtain a large number of homogeneous areas. Then, features that can mitigate the effects of the speckle noise are obtained using spatial weighting in the same superpixel. Next, the training set is expanded iteratively utilizing a semi-supervised unlabeled sample selection strategy that elaborately makes use of spatial relations provided by superpixels. In addition, a stacked sparse auto-encoder is self-trained using the expanded training set to obtain classification results. Experiments on two typical PolSAR datasets verified its capability of suppressing the speckle noise and showed excellent classification performance with limited labeled data.

Light Modulators

In this paper, a holographic system to suppress the speckle noise is proposed. Two spatial light modulators (SLMs) are used in the system, one of which is used for beam shaping, and the other is used for reproducing the image. By calculating the effective viewing angle of the reconstructed image, the effective hologram and the effective region of the SLM are calculated accordingly. Then, the size of the diffractive optical element (DOE) is calculated accordingly. The dynamic DOEs and effective hologram are loaded on the effective regions of the two SLMs, respectively, while the wasted areas of the two SLMs are performed with zero-padded operations. When the laser passes through the first SLM, the light can be modulated by the effective DOEs. When the modulated beam illuminates the second SLM which is loaded with the effective hologram, the image is reconstructed with better quality and lower speckle noise. Moreover, the calculation time of the hologram is reduced. Experiments indicate the validity of the proposed system.

Digital holography is a very efficient technique for 3D imaging and the characterization of changes at the surfaces of objects. However, during the process of holographic interferometry, the reconstructed phase images suffer from speckle noise. In this paper, de-noising is addressed with phase images corrupted with speckle noise. To do so, DnCNN residual networks with different depths were built and trained with various holographic noisy phase data. The possibility of using a network pre-trained on natural images with Gaussian noise is also investigated. All models are evaluated in terms of phase error with HOLODEEP benchmark data and with three unseen images corresponding to different experimental conditions. The best results are obtained using a network with only four convolutional blocks and trained with a wide range of noisy phase patterns.
