In this report we propose a novel classification algorithm for high and very high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) amplitude images that combines the Markov random field approach to Bayesian image classification and a finite mixture technique for probability density function estimation. The finite mixture modeling is done by...

In this paper we focus on the fundamental synthetic aperture radars (SAR) image processing problem of supervised classification. To address it we consider a statistical finite mixture approach to probability density function estimation. We develop a generalized approach to address the problem of mixture estimation and consider the use of...

Ce papier présente un modèle de classification bayésienne supervisée d'images acquises par Radar à Synthèse d'Ouverture (RSO) très haute résolution en polarisation simple contenant des zones urbaines, particulièrement affectées par le bruit de chatoiement. Ce modèle prend en compte à la fois une représentation statistique des images RSO par...

In the context of remotely sensed data analysis, a crucial problem is represented by the need to develop accurate models for the statistics of pixel intensities. In this work, we develop a parametric finite mixture model for modelling the statistics of intensities in high resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images. Along with the models...

Parameter estimation of probability density functions is one of the major steps in the mainframe of statistical image and signal processing. In this report we explore the properties and limitations of the recently proposed method of logarithmic cumulants (MoLC) parameter estimation approach which is an alternative to the classical maximum...

In the framework of the assessment of environmental risks, we propose herein a new supervised Bayesian classification method. It combines statistical image modeling with a contextual approach via hierarchical Markov random fields. This research report aims to further focus on this kind of contextual classification approach by detailing both the...

This paper addresses the problem of the classification of very high resolution (VHR) SAR amplitude images of urban areas. The proposed supervised method combines a finite mixture technique to estimate class-conditional probability density functions, Bayesian classification, and Markov random fields (MRFs). Textural features, such as those...
