Abstract

This work explores the spatial relation of Single Values over image pixels in order to propose a filtering process. Different denoise degrees are applied to each pixel considering their effects on an unsupervised clustering process – Self Organizing Map. This results on specific filtering process to different spectral characteristics of the images. Two experiments are presented; the first one with synthetic data and the second with LandSat-7 data. The first one considers a scene with high frequencies and consequently cuts only the null space of the single values of each pixel. The experiment with LandSat-7 data shows a case with homogeneous scenes. In this case, the filtering process implements hard cuts considering a limited group of classes. The technique presented here brings an effective way to reconstruct better approximations of the original data and, at the same time, excludes unnecessary ranges of pixel variations.
