It is well known that the Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) images are abundant of directional and texture information, which is very useful for segmentation. Contourlet is a geometric multiscale tool that is based on multiscale filters and directional filter banks. It not only inherits the multiscale characteristics of dimensionality-inseparable wavelets, but also has the flexible multi-directional characteristic. In this paper, we developed a new non-subsampled contourlet transform (NSCT) and gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) based image segmentation method for SAR image segmentation. For the redundant and shift-invariant property of the NSCT, and the statistical texture features extracted by GLCM, the proposed method can present accurate segmentation result for SAR images.
