Ocean surface wind field retrieval from airborne SAR imagery based on Mexican hat wavelet transform

How to extract wind streaks information from imagery is the hard point in the retrieval of wind direction from airborne SAR sounding imagery. The wind streaks information extraction method based on Mexican hat wavelet combining with two dimensional fast fourier transform was proposed to solve this problem. Using C band empirical models such as CMOD4, CMOD IFR2 and CMOD5, associated with the proposed wind direction retrieval method, the wind field was obtained from airborne SAR sounding data. The characteristics of ocean surface wind field retrieval methods were verified by retrieving wind filed from a group of airborne SAR sounding data of South China Sea. The results show that the Mexican hat wavelet algorithm solves the problem of extracting wind streaks information from airborne SAR sounding imagery, and the retrieval accuracy is better than that of the local gradient algorithm, while three kinds of wind speed retrieval models can be used to retrieve wind speed from airborne SAR sounding data.
