Approximation of distributions for SAR images: Proposal, evaluation and practical consequences

Data from a coherent illumination system like a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can be modelled by the multiplicative model. This model explains the characteristics of these data. The multiplicative model states that, under certain conditions, the constructive and destructive interferences of the inc...

description Data from a coherent illumination system like a Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) can be modelled by the multiplicative model. This model explains the characteristics of these data.
