Abstract To accurately model the complicated statistical characteristics of pixel intensities in a homogeneous region and obtain accurate segmentation results, a high resolution synthetic aperture radar(SAR) image segmentation algorithm based on hierarchical Gamma mixture model(HGaMM) is proposed. HGaMM is constructed by several Gamma mixture models to model the asymmetrical, heavy-tailed and multimodal distribution of pixel intensities. To reduce the influence of image noise on segmentation, Markov random field is employed to model the label field for introducing the spatial neighboring relationship between pixels into HGaMM. Based on Bayesian theory, the segmentation model is built by posterior distribution of model parameters. Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm is designed to simulate the segmentation model. Segmentation experiment is conducted on simulated and real SAR images. The results show that the proposed algorithm obtains more accurate segmentation results than other algorithms.
