Markov random fields for SAR image analysis and 3D reconstruction
Florence Tupin · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2006
Markov Random Fields (MRF) are powerful methods to introduce contextual knowledge in image processing. In this paper, we aim at showing that they are well adapted to deal with many SAR applications, specially when using graphs of primitives. Three main applications are presented using the markovian framework: SAR image interpretation, road network detection and 3D reconstruction. For the last application, 3 situations are considered: interferometry, interferometry using an additional optical image and radargrammetry with optic. This paper gathers some previous and current works on the use of MRF for SAR image analysis.
