This article proposes an unsupervised multiregion segmentation method for fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (polSAR) images based on the improved fuzzy active contour model. Different from most of the active contour models that are based on the utilization of only statistical information, the proposed method makes better use of information from polarimetric data. In addition to the statistical information, an edge detector modified from the ratio of exponentially weighted averages (ROEWA) operator, a sliding window algorithm for the total received power, and a ratio operator with respect to scattering mechanisms are integrated to the proposed active contour model. We then present a layer-based fuzzy active contour framework to solve our model. The general fuzzy active contour framework is computationally much more efficient compared with the level set-based framework; however, it cannot be applied to the multiregion segmentation of SAR images due to its low robustness to strong noise. The proposed approach includes the advantages of the general fuzzy active contour framework and has good robustness. Using two fully polSAR images demonstrates that the proposed method can achieve higher efficiency and a better segmentation performance in comparison with the commonly used active contour methods.
