Pointwise SAR image change detection based on stereograph model with multiple-span neighbourhood information
2019
ABSTRACTIn this article, a novel pointwise approach is proposed for change detection in bi-temporal synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images using stereograph model. Due to the fact that SAR image suffers from the speckle noise, a pointwise approach based on a set of characteristic points only, not on the whole pixels, seems to be more efficient. Moreover, the correlations of neighbourhood points which have different locations in bi-temporal SAR images should be studied to repress the speckle in change detection. Therefore, the stereograph model, which extends the graph model to three-dimensional space, is designed to connect the local maximum pixels on bi-temporal SAR images and can be used to capture the multiple-span neighbourhood information from the edges. Furthermore, a specialized change measure function is presented to quantify the neighbourhood information from stereograph model, and thus, a novel nondense difference image (NDI) is generated. Finally, a traditional classification method is used to a...
