Denoising of satellite images using hybridized convolutional neural network
摘要
Satellite image enhancement is crucial for improving feature visibility and ensuring accurate identification in remote sensing applications. However, these images are often degraded by noise and low contrast, which limit analysis accuracy. This paper presents a novel approach for denoising and enhancing satellite images by integrating a Denoised Convolutional Neural Network (D-CNN) with an Enhanced Walrus Optimization (EWO) algorithm. The EWO algorithm optimizes the D-CNN’s parameters, improving image quality by enhancing noise reduction and contrast. Experimental results on the Sentinel satellite dataset show that the proposed model achieves a Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) of 39.8 and a Structural Similarity Index (SSIM) of 0.999, outperforming state-of-the-art methods such as DnCNN (PSNR of 38.5, SSIM of 0.988) and Restormer (PSNR of 38.2, SSIM of 0.985). The proposed model demonstrates superior performance in noise reduction and image clarity, offering a reliable and scalable solution for satellite image enhancement in remote sensing applications.
