In this article, we propose optimum and near-optimum adaptive coherent detectors of radar
targets in compound-Gaussian clutter with generalized inverse Gaussian texture (CG-GIG …

A statistical model for high-resolution sea clutter, which we have called the compound
inverse Gaussian (CIG) distribution, is proposed. The model is a mixture of the Rayleigh …

This article addresses the detection problem of radar targets embedded in
nonhomogeneous and non-Gaussian sea clutter. Nonhomogeneity leads to insufficiency of …

The commonly applied K-distribution to model the synthetic aperture radar image amplitude
of the heterogeneous (non-Gaussian) sea surface as the basis for vessel detection has …

In this paper, we present a novel [z log (z)]-based approach to the evaluation of estimators of
the K-distributed clutter plus thermal noise parameters. In doing this, we start by deriving …

The theory of fractional order calculus is applied to construct variations of the fundamental
Pareto clutter model density, used in X‐band maritime surveillance radar. Such data are …

The estimation of the K-distributed radar clutter plus thermal noise parameters can be
improved by employing fractional moments instead of the existing higher order moments. In …

In radar detection applications, it is important to select the best statistical distribution of
clutter for constructing appropriate target detection algorithms. In this work, we propose to …

El clutter marino es una señal aleatoria interferente que aparece en lecturas de radar
producto de la reflexión que experimenta la emisión sobre la superficie del mar. Luego de …

The theoretical statistical model of sea clutter is a key issue for maritime surveillance. In
recent years, the statistical model of sea clutter has attracted much attention to design the …
