Abstract :
Detecting linear wakes from spaceborne SAR images is significant. But it is not easy because of the speckle noise in SAR images. The speckle noise is too strong to detect wakes using traditional edge-detection methods. This paper presents an approach based on Radon-transform to detect linear wakes in SAR images. We use some spaceborne SAR images to test this method. The result is better.
