Fast Cauchy-Rician Modelling of SAR Images with Method of Algebraic Moments Estimator
SAR technology has been intensively implemented for geo-sensing and mapping purposes due to its advantages of high azimuthal resolution and weather-independent operation compared to other remote sensing technologies. Modelling SAR image data consequently becomes a prominent topic of interest, especially for data populations with impulsive signal features, which are common in SAR images of urban areas. A recently proposed model named Cauchy-Rician has manifested great potential in modelling extremely heterogeneous SAR images, yet the work only provided a MCMC-based parameter estimator that demands considerable computational power. In this work, a novel analytical parameter estimation method based on algebraic moments is proposed to provide stable and accurate estimation of the parameters of the Cauchy-Rician model with significant improvement on computation speed.

A Generalized Gaussian Extension to the Rician Distribution for SAR Image Modeling
In this paper, we present a novel statistical model, $\textit{the generalized-Gaussian-Rician}$ (GG-Rician) distribution, for the characterization of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. Since accurate statistical mode…
MAGORINO: Magnitude-only fat fraction and R2* estimation with Rician noise modelling
Purpose: Magnitude-based fitting of chemical shift-encoded data enables proton density fat fraction (PDFF) and R2* estimation where complex-based methods fail or when phase data is inaccessible or unreliable. However, tr…
