In this letter, we aim to address a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) despeckling problem with the necessity of neither clean (speckle-free) SAR images nor independent speckled image pairs from the same scene, and a practical solution for SAR…

SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) imaging plays a central role in Remote Sensing due to, among other important features, its ability to provide high-resolution, day-and-night and almost weather-independent images. SAR images are affected from…

Despeckling is a key and indispensable step in SAR image preprocessing, existing deep learning-based methods achieve SAR despeckling by learning some mappings between speckled (different looks) and clean images. However, there exist no…
