Rain Detection From X-Band Marine Radar Images: A Support Vector Machine-Based Approach.

Since rain alters the histogram pattern of radar images, rain-contaminated radar data can be identified. In this article, a support vector machine (SVM)-based method for rain detection using X-band marine radar images is presented. First, the normalized histogram bin values for each image are extracted and combined into feature vector. Then, SVMs are employed to classify between rain-free and rain...
