A stochastic model for restoration of and edge extraction from synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images is presented. This model is based on an observation-prediction model which favors the restoration of piecewise-constant patches separated by long continuous edges. Speckle noise is filtered out by means of an a-priori fixed probability...

An approach to data fusion, based on the overlapping of regions from two or more different channels and on a fuzzy reasoning about the result of the overlapping process, is introduced. Resulting regions are labeled as slivers (regions created by imperfect boundary superimposition) and kernels (all remaining regions). Kernels are classified by a...
