Adaptive Polarimetric Detection for Mismatched Signal in Non-Gaussian Sea Clutter

In this paper, we address the polarimetric target detection problem in the non-Gaussian sea clutter environment. We model the non-Gaussian sea clutter as a compound Gaussian model based on its heterogeneous and time-varying characteristics. Taking advantage of the adaptive beamformer orthogonal rejection test (ABORT), we develop two novel polarimetric two-step generalized likelihood ratio test (GL...
