Abstract

En 中文
In this letter, new models for the spatial correlation of sea clutter texture and intensity are proposed as improved versions of current power law models or exponential decay model. The models for texture have three unknown parameters, and thus can be called triparametric models. The structure of the models is a weighted sum of two components, which can describe the decaying process of the correlation coefficient with spatial lags, as well as the periodic behavior due to the existence of transient coherent structures in sea clutter. Unknown parameters are optimized by the nonlinear least square fit method. Models for sea clutter intensity can be obtained through a linear transform for uncorrelated speckle based on the compound-Gaussian representation of sea clutter. The proposed models are validated and compared with current models using S-and C-band measured sea clutter data. Analysis results indicate the effectiveness of the proposed models in that they can describe the behavior of spatial correlation coefficients with higher accuracy.
