Abstract: This article proposes an application of the method of renormalization with limitation (MRL) to suppress speckle noise in SAR images. This is because the method of renormalization with limitation, by its definition, renormalizes the SAR image spectrum to a universal reference spectrum (URS) model, which is a "good" quality grayscale spectrum model. To increase the overall sharpness of the image, consistently with the MRL, it is proposed to apply the classical Laplacian. This study allows us to conclude that the application of MRL to SAR images can significantly reduce speckle noise.
Key words: synthetic aperture radar, remote sensing, SAR images, image processing, speckle noise, method of renormalization with limitation.
