Multitemporal SAR Image Description: Application to Image Compression
This paper presents a new method for compressing temporal series of SAR images. Well suited to noisy images, the algorithm requires a reference scene used as an input in the description process. This description is achieved through affine transformations, comparable to the ones used in fractal codin...
