Measurement of radiometric criteria
Abstract
An approach to the automatic measurement of radiometric resolution in an arbitrary sample of SAR imagery is described and the results of applying it to selected imagery are presented. A uniform distributed target is simulated by removing all pictorial content, leaving pure speckle. A spread of answers, below and above theoretical predictions, results.
