A derivation of the statistical characteristics of SAR imagery dataBasic statistical properties of the speckle effect and the associated spatial correlation of SAR image data are discussed. Statistics of SAR sensed measurement and their relationships to the surface mean power reflectivity are derived. The Rayleigh speckle model is reviewed. Applications of the derived statistics to SAR radiometric measures and image processing are considered.
