A New Target Detector Based on Geometrical Perturbation Filters for Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (POL-SAR)

Part of the book series: Springer Theses ((Springer Theses))

Abstract

In the previous section, the statistics of the detector were derived to establish its theoretical performance. Although the assessment returned promising results, the validation on real data is an unavoidable step, since in real scenarios the performance of an algorithm can be dramatically degraded by factors which cannot be easily taken into account in a theoretical model.
