Abstract :
Texture statistics are studied using multitemporal JERS-1 synthetic aperture radar (SAR) single-look imagery. A correct autocorrelation function of texture is derived and utilized to calculate textural features. It is demonstrated that a significant improvement in the classification accuracy results if the textural features are used as additional inputs to the classifier
