Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images, in particular, suffer from a phenomenon known as speckle. Speckle is the result of the coherent sum of scattering mechanisms within a resolution cell and is typically modeled as multiplicative noise. Numerous approaches have been taken to reduce speckle, the most promising of which are adaptive and statistically based. These algorithms typically take advantage of the statistics of speckle or the multi-scale image structure to detect regions of similarity. Several of these algorithms also take advantage of the multi-channel nature of polarimetric SAR to improve the region detection. This work presents two enhancements to such an algorithm with an application toward polarimetric parameter estimation and change detection and presents results using the Japanese satellite-based Phased Array L-band Synthetic Aperture Radar (PALSAR) system. 606 $aImage analysis$vCongresses 615 0$aImage analysis 676 $a621.367 702 $aIEEE Staff 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aPROCEEDING 912 $a9910145112903321 996 $a2008 IEEE Southwest Symposium on Image Analysis and Interpretation$92399049 997 $aUNINA
