A Statistical Analysis for Intensity Wavelength-Resolution SAR Difference Images

Mittmann Voigt, Gustavo HenriqueFederal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA), Brazil (författare)

This paper presents a statistical analysis of intensity wavelength-resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) difference images. In this analysis, Anderson Darling goodness-of-fit tests are performed, considering two different statistical distributions as candidates for modeling the clutter-plus-noise, i.e., the background statistics. The results show that the Gamma distribution is a good fit for the background of the tested SAR images, especially when compared with the Exponential distribution. Based on the results of this statistical analysis, a change detection application for the detection of concealed targets is presented. The adequate selection of the background distribution allows for the evaluated change detection method to achieve a better performance in terms of probability of detection and false alarm rate, even when compared with competitive performance change detection methods in the literature. For instance, in an experimental evaluation considering a data set obtained by the Coherent All Radio Band Sensing (CARABAS) II UWB SAR system, the evaluated change detection method reached a detection probability of 0.981 for a false alarm rate of 1/km2. © 2023 by the authors.
