Abstract :
Land clutter is statistical by nature, and its values vary in many dimensions. This paper analyzes L-band VV polarized land clutter characteristics acquired by the NASA JPL AirSAR system. In particular, this paper mainly concentrates on the distribution of clutter values with respect to grazing angle for typical vegetation communities in the Northern Territory region in Australia.
