Ship Detection in SAR Image Based on the Alpha-stable Distribution

Ship Detection in SAR Image Based on the Alpha-stable Distribution

This paper describes an improved Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) ship detection algorithm in spaceborne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image based on Alphastable distribution model. Typically, the CFAR algorithm uses the Gaussian distribution model to describe statistical characteristics of a SAR i...
