Abstract :
In this paper an innovative fractal based filtering for the analysis of SAR images of natural surfaces is presented. Its definition is based on a complete direct imaging model developed by the authors. The application of this innovative algorithm to SAR images makes it possible to obtain a complete map of the fractal dimension of the observed scene. Significant results obtained on actual SAR data are shown in the last section of the paper.
