Aiming at the noises and artifacts were introduced to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image in the process of imaging and transmission, which cause many problems such as reduction of definition and lack of details, an SAR image enhancement method based on the combination of Non-Subsampled Shearlet Transform (NSST) and fuzzy contrast was proposed. Firstly, the original image was decomposed into a low-frequency component and several high-frequency components by NSST. Then, the low-frequency component was linearly stretched to improve the overall contrast, and the threshold method was adopted for high-frequency components to remove noise. And then the reconstruction image was obtained by applying the inverse NSST to the processed low-frequency and high-frequency components. Finally, fuzzy contrast method was used to improve detail information and layering of reconstruction image and obtain the final image. The experimental results on 40 images show that, compared with Histogram Equalization (HE), Multi-Scale Retinex (MSR) enhancement algorithm, Remote sensing image enhancement algorithm based on shearlet transform and multi-scale Retinex, and medical image enhancement method based on improved Gamma correction in Shearlet domain, the Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of this proposed method promotes at least 22.9%, and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) optimizes at least 36.2%. And finally this proposed method can obviously improve image definition and obtains clearer texture information.
