  • Abstract
    Estimators of K distribution parameters are reviewed. On the basis of a chi2-test, 12 RADARSAT images (Standard, Wide and ScanSAR) are found to be rather well described by a K distribution; however, their false alarm rate is an order too high. The impact of 8 bit storage is discussed
