Change detection in a multitemporal series of radar images

Abstract

In the literature, several works are led around the radar images especially the detection of the cartographic objects, the 3D reconstruction and the change detection. Concerning this last application, several techniques compete to ensure the best possible result. In this paper, we aim first at developing an automatic detection procedure to compare between similarity measures. Then we propose a change detection technique based on the fusion of two similarity measures. The first one is the Contrast (C) measure [1] and the second one is the Rayleigh Distribution Ratio (RDR) measure [2]. The proposed method has been validated on simulated data and then applied on three radar images.
