Translate SAR Data into Optical Image Using IHS and Wavelet Transform Integrated Fusion

摘要: Although synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors function well at all times and under weather conditions, the images they produce are not intuitively straightforward. A novel idea based on data fusion is introduced to translate SAR into optical image in this paper. The proposed SAR-optical translation implemented using an intensity–hue–saturation (IHS) wavelet transform integrated (IHSW), so as preserve much spatial details from data, minimize spectral distortion of translated output. COSMO-SkyMed ENVISAT-ASAR with Landsat TM images, results compared some conventional methods, texture synthesis approach. Quality assessment different fused outputs carried out by six quality indices. Visual statistical comparisons final indicate that approach achieves effective superior synthesis-based algorithm terms preserving information. technique presents alternative improve interpretability images.
