In the last decade many authors prefer to describe the statistical distribution of backscattering amplitudes in single-look synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images by K distribution. In this paper experimental data from a high resolution airborne SAR system are proved to K statistics model and compared with Weibull, lognormal and gamma density functions.ETX
