SAR is a powerful imaging technology that generates fine-resolution images and monitors the earth\u2019s surface in order to identify its physical properties. The satellite images captured by SAR are mainly affected by SN, which reduces the quality of images and complicates the image representation. Therefore, removing SN from SAR images is one of the major challenges and needs significant attention. The proposed study introduces an optimal Machine Learning (ML) classifier named Kernel Support Vector Machine-Improved Aquila Optimization (KSVM-IAO) for reducing SN in SAR images. This study uses a two-step process called filtering and enhanced despeckling to minimize the consequence of speckle suppression. In the first step, different imaging filters, namely Improved Lee Filter (ILF), Improved Frost Filter (IFF), Improved Kuan Filter (IKF) and Improved Boxcar Filter (IBF), are utilized to remove the SN in SAR images. Next, the denoised image is fed to the second stage, which makes use of an optimized KSVM-IAO classifier to obtain an enhanced despeckle image. The hyperparameters of KSVM are tuned using the IAO algorithm, which reduces overfitting issues and increases accuracy. MATLAB is the simulation tool used for the analysis of SAR images. The simulation outcomes reveal that the proposed KSVM-IAO method obtained excellent SN removal while preserving the edges and fine details with low computational complexity. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s1469026824500019","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]],"date-time":"2024-03-14T07:10:07Z","timestamp":1710400207000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Automatic Speckle Noise Reduction in SAR Imagery Using Optimized Kernel Support Vector Machine"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5721-1982","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Saurabh Vijay","family":"Parhad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Dr. Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University, Pune, Maharashtra, 411038, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0282-9766","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Krishna K.","family":"Warhade","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronics & Communication Engineering, Dr. Vishwanath Karad MIT World Peace University, Pune, Maharashtra, 411038, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6388-3654","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanjay S.","family":"Shitole","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Information Technology, Usha Mittal Institute of Technology, SNDT Women's University, Mumbai, Maharashtra, 400049,  India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,3,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1469026824500019BIB001","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/hyp.6609"},{"key":"S1469026824500019BIB002","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/MSP.2014.2312834"},{"key":"S1469026824500019BIB003","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/rs70607615"},{"issue":"3","key":"S1469026824500019BIB004","first-page":"305","volume":"21","author":"Zdunek A.","year":"2007","journal-title":"Int.
