Turbo Iterative Technique for SAR Image Processing

A new restoration algorithm for SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) images is proposed based on a turbo iterative tech- nique. For this purpose, two uncorrelated component im- ages issued from the SAR original image are differently filtered and the pieces of information extracted from both filters are mutually exchanged in the iterative process.
