Abstract(in English) Speckle noise reduction is necessary for applications of Synthetic Aperture Radar images, such as target detection and a land cover classification. Many speckle reduction methods have been proposed, but they still blur artificial objects. This paper proposes a method which has good preservation of artificial objects in SAR images by introducing a recursive procedure. An experimental result for a SAR image shows that the proposed method has better preservation about 3.3 times as much as multilook and about 1.3 times as much as Minimum Mean Square Error filter.
