1.-INTRODUCTIONIn different remote sensing (RS) experiments the efficiency in data collection depends upon the physical properties, as well as the a priori information of the object observed. For realizing the possibility of extracting information a modern RS system uses either a multispectral or a multitemporal observation strategy from both air and spaceborne platforms" 2, 5, As a rule image data is degraded by multiplicative and additive noises (Gaussian, impulse, etc.) and by different kinds of inaccuracies resulting from sensor and atmospheric influences.The resolution of the images is dictated by the need to solve the restoration problem by means of an inverse operator (usually integral) equation with the kernel depending on the sensors used. Any restoration procedure for image improvement requires the solution of an iliposed inverse problem. Thus, uncertainty arises from small perturbation in the input RS data, that in turn give rise to considerable errors on the restored image parameters.Different types of algorithms have been proposed for the deconvolution (restoration) problem in RS and other image processing applications" 2, 4, 5, 6 Except for this, the influence of diverse noises and inaccuracies dictate a certain filtering procedure in order to increase the quality of the RS information.In this paper we present a novel and a mathematically sustained procedure for solving deconvolutionfiltering problems.The technique for obtaining a stable solution to the deconvolution problem is based on the regularized functional Newman series of the operator equations which produce more precise and robust results than traditional solutions.We propose several new rank filtering algorithms for decreasing noise influences. With the help of these algorithms it is possible to obtain predicted, precise and robust characteristics for the image processed when considering different degrees of quality of the a priori information about the signal and noise probability distributions. 226 ISPIE Vol. 2318 Q-819416487/94/$6.OO Downloaded From: http://proceedi...
