Parametric, Frequency-Domain Approach for Clutter Analysis & Rejection in Remote Sensing

Hays, Park E.; Kern, Jeffrey P.

A novel approach is presented for parametric analysis of remotely-sensed ground and cloud clutter. A spatial-frequency-domain clutter model is generated from an extensive, one-year database of weather imagery and statistics are given for each spatial frequency. This approach is useful for the analysis and design of spatial and temporal clutter-rejection filters, which can also be analyzed in this domain.
