The invention relates to an SAR (
Synthetic Aperture Radar) image 
glacier recognition method based on 
texture feature assistance, which is used for recognizing a 
glacier by utilizing an interference measurement method of Sentinel-1A data and combining texture information. The method comprises the following steps: utilizing Sentinel-1A data to carry out interference 
processing to obtain a coherencecoefficient graph; extracting seven textural features of mean value, variance, homogeneity, contrast, dissimilarity, entropy and correlation of the coherence coefficient graph; and comparing 
glacier extraction effects among different 
texture feature combinations. And selecting four textural features of mean value, variance, homogeneity and dissimilarity under the VV polarization mode with the highest classification precision, and training by utilizing an 
SVM classifier to obtain classes of glaciers, rocks, accumulated 
snow and the like. And converting the classified data into a shape format, and segmenting the data through 
ridge lines to obtain a glacier 
boundary data set. Compared with a traditional threshold segmentation method based on a coherence coefficient graph, texture features areintroduced, and glacier recognition is more accurate.
