为了从观察图像中估计出合成孔径雷达(SAR)图像的雷达横截面积(RCS)模型的对数-正态分布的参数,提出了强度图像和幅值图像的参数估计方法。推导出斑点的前两阶对数累积量和对数-正态分布的前两阶对数累积量;基于第二类统计量和斑点的乘性模型,获得RCS模型的对数-正态分布的参数估计式。所提方法具有解析的表达式,易于实现。MonteCarlo仿真和SAR图像的参数估计实验表明,所提方法可以有效地从观察图像中估计出RCS模型的对数-正态分布的参数。
In order to estimate the parameters of the log-normal distribution of radar cross section (RCS) model of synthetic aperture radar(SAR) images from the observed image, this paper proposed the parameter estimator for intensity image and am- plitude image. First, it derived the first two log-cumulants of speckle, Second,it derived the first two log-cumulants of log-nor- mal distribution. Last,it obtained the parameter estimator of the log-normal distribution of RCS model based on the second- kind statistics and the muhiplicativc model of speckle. The proposed estimator was easy to implement due to the analytical ex- pressions. Parameter estimation experiments on Monte Carlo simulations and SAR images demonstrate that the proposed estima- tor can effectiveh, estimate the parameters of the log-normal distribution of RCS model from the observed image.
