Claim One:
1. A system comprising: an antenna that is configured to receive radar signals that have reflected off of a scene; a processor; and memory that comprises components that are executed by the processor, the components comprising: a registration component that is configured to register a baseline synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image with a plurality of SAR images to create a stack of co-registered SAR images, wherein the plurality of SAR images are generated based upon the radar signals received by the antenna; an artifact reduction component that is configured to perform a speckle-reduction operation on at least one SAR image in the stack of co-registered SAR images to form an artifact-reduced SAR image product, a first number of artifacts in the artifact-reduced SAR image product is less than a second number of artifacts in the at least one SAR image; a segmentation component that is configured to: form a segmented SAR image product by segmenting the artifact-reduced SAR image product into a plurality of superpixels based upon values of pixels in the artifact-reduced SAR image product; and apply boundaries of the superpixels to the at least one SAR image to segment the at least one SAR image into a plurality of segments, such that the plurality of segments respectively correspond to the plurality of superpixels in the segmented SAR image product; and a classifier component that is configured to assign a label to a segment in the plurality of segments in the at least one SAR image based upon pixel values in the segment, the label indicative of an identity of an object or feature captured in the at least one SAR image.
