Markov random field (MRF) has been widely used in SAR image segmentation because of the advantage of directly modeling the posterior distribution and suppresses the speckle on the influence of the segmentation result. However, when the real SAR images are nonstationary images, the unsupervised segmentation results by MRF can be poor. The recent proposed triplet Markov field (TMF) model is well appropriate for nonstationary SAR image processing due to the introduction of an auxiliary field which reflects the nonstationarity. In addition, on account of the texture features of SAR image, a fusion image segmentation method is proposed by fusing the gray level image and texture feature image. The effectiveness of the proposed method in this paper is demonstrated by a synthesis SAR image and the real SAR images segmentation experiments, and it is better than the state-of-art methods.
