Abstract :
In this paper we present a morphological operator based on the statistical generalization of soft morphological operators. We are showing that the proposed operator can assume the behaviour of several morphological and linear filters depending on the parameter setting. In this paper, we are showing the application of the proposed operator to SAR images and we are presenting a comparison with the results obtained with the Lee filter
