Wavelet and Karhunen Loève transformations applied to SAR signals and images

We developed two new tools to deal with synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, based on two different and powerful mathematical formalism: wavelets (WT) and Karhunen Loève transforms (KLT). WT are used to remove the undesirable speckle, which comes from the specific measurement process of SAR systems, and KLT for the co-registration of SAR images.
