Ultrasound images and SAR i.e. synthetic aperture radar images are usually corrupted because of speckle noise also called as granular noise. It is quite a tedious task to remove such noise and analyze those corrupted images. Till now many researchers worked to remove speckle noise using frequency domain methods, temporal methods, and adaptive methods. Different filters have been developed as Mean and Median filters, Statistic Lee filter, Statistic Kuan filter, Frost filter, Srad filter. This paper reviews filters used to remove speckle noise.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
