Synthetic aperture radar image change detection based on convolutional‐curvelet neural network and partial graph‐cut

Abstract Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images are widely applied in change detection tasks because of SAR's active imaging mechanism. However, SAR images suffer from speckle noise due to SAR reception coherence from distributed targets. This property of SAR increases the uncertainty of the ima...
