Abstract: In this paper, a new method of speckle reduction in polarimetric SAR image is proposed. Based on the method, the texture parameters of multi-polarimetric channels are estimated simultaneously by the method of maximum likelihood under the assumption of multi-texture multiplicative speckle noise model. This method preserves the polarimetric properties, reduces the couple between polarimetric channels, and gets the better effect of speckle reduction. It is also compared with the PWF (polarimetric whitening filter).
