Abstract
We propose a novel orthogonal wavelet-based approach to reduce speckle in s ynthetic aperture radar and gray-scale images for better automatic target r ecognition applications. We also analyze different image metrics using diff erent thresholding and image data compression techniques. (C) 2000 Society of Photo-Optical instrumentation Engineers. [S0091-3286(00)00305-6].
