Abstract :
In this paper we analyze sea clutter data recorded by the IPIX-radar and we show that the coherent radar returns can be modelled as a compound-Gaussian process with inverse-Gamma texture. We also investigate the performance of two adaptive detectors by processing real recorded sea clutter data.
