Abstract-Change detection in polarimetric SAR (POLSAR)images is an important topic. Three statistics are compared on both simulated and real data for their efficacy in change detection. The three statistics are the contrast ratio, the ellipticity and the Bartlett test. The relative performance for these three test statistics on the two simulations is dramatically different. The results are illustrated and explained.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
