SAR images are gaining popularity in various applications, but there may be a need to conceal certain regions of them. Image inpainting provides a solution for this. However, not all inpainting techniques are designed to work on SAR images. Some are intended for use on photographs, while others have to be specifically trained on top of a huge set of images. In this work, we evaluate the performance of the DIP technique that is capable of addressing these challenges: it can adapt to the image under analysis including SAR imagery; it does not require any training. Our results demonstrate that the DIP method achieves great performance in terms of objective and semantic metrics. This indicates that the DIP method is a promising approach for inpainting SAR images, and can provide high-quality results that meet the requirements of various applications.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15153750","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,28]],"date-time":"2023-07-28T02:08:00Z","timestamp":1690510080000},"page":"3750","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Deep Image Prior Amplitude SAR Image Anonymization"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2011-7295","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edoardo Daniele","family":"Cannas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), Politecnico di Milano, 20133 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3811-003X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sara","family":"Mandelli","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), Politecnico di Milano, 20133 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0406-0222","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paolo","family":"Bestagini","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), Politecnico di Milano, 20133 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1990-9869","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Stefano","family":"Tubaro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dipartimento di Elettronica, Informazione e Bioingegneria (DEIB), Politecnico di Milano, 20133 Milan, Italy"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2909-7323","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Edward J.","family":"Delp","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN 47907, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Oliver, C., and Quegan, S.
