A Comparative Study of Sea Clutter Covariance Matrix Estimators
TL;DR: This letter provides a comprehensive study of four covariance matrix estimators: the maximum likelihood estimators under the Gaussian distribution and the K distribution, an approximation of the latter (AK-ML), and a robust M-estimator.

Polarimetric SAR Speckle Reduction by Hybrid Iterative Filtering
TL;DR: A hybrid iterative filtering scheme is introduced that is initialized by a polarimetric filter ensuring a high speckle reduction level and applied for few iterations to enhance the spatial details of PolSAR filters.

Polarimetric Calibration of Circularly Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar Data
TL;DR: The calibration techniques are applied to fully polarimetric data acquired by the Ingara L-band radar using left- and right-polarized helical antennas, and it is shown that the distortion caused, to first-order, by circular-basis cross-talk does not permit the individual cross- talk parameters to be identified.

Segment-based urban block outlining in high-resolution SAR images
TL;DR: This paper presents a preliminary work on the use of a linear feature extractor, originally developed for road network extraction, as a tool to partition a very high resolution SAR scene acquired over an urban area.
