Welcome to despeckCL’s documentation!

A toolbox for despeckling/denoising SAR/InSAR images written in OpenCL

Implemented Filters

So far the following filters are implemented:

  • Boxcar: The simple boxcar filter for InSAR data
  • NL-InSAR: A nonlocal InSAR filter introduced in Deledalle, C.-A.; Denis, L.; Tupin, F., “NL-InSAR: Nonlocal Interferogram Estimation,” Geoscience and Remote Sensing, IEEE Transactions on , vol.49, no.4, pp.1441,1452, April 2011
  • NL-SAR: A nonlocal filter for SAR, InSAR and PolSAR, introduced in Deledalle, C.-A.; Denis, L.; Tupin, F.; Reigber, A.; Jäger, M., “NL-SAR: A Unified Nonlocal Framework for Resolution-Preserving (Pol)(In)SAR Denoising,” Geoscience and Remote Sensing, IEEE Transactions on , vol.53, no.4, pp.2021,2038, April 2015
    • currently this implementation uses only a single search window of fixed size, in contrast to the original paper, which uses multiple search window sizes.
  • Goldstein: The Goldstein InSAR filter, Goldstein, R. M.; Werner, C. L., “Radar interferogram filtering for geophysical applications,” Geophysical Research Letters,vol. 25, no. 21, pp.4035,4038, 1998
