Abstract:

The subband spectral cancellation (SSC) is an effective method to suppress radio frequency interference (RFI) of synthetic aperture radar (SAR). But it is easy to lose the image detail information while eliminating the interference, which affects the subsequent image interpretation. Therefore, based on the SSC method, combined with change detection technology, an improved SAR image interference suppression method is proposed. According to the improved log ratio change detection operator, the proposed method realizes the secondary detection of interference, eliminates the false alarm information in the interference image, and avoids the loss of useful signals in the image. Based on the wide-band mode interference SAR image of the European Space Agency Sentinel-1A satellite, the interference suppression and effect evaluation are carried out. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress the interference and retain the SAR image details as much as possible, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Key words: synthetic aperture radar (SAR), radio frequency interference (RFI) suppression, subband spectral cancellation (SSC), change detection
