Closed-Form Solution for CFAR Detection Threshold in G⁰ Distributed SAR Clutter by Dheeren Ku Mahapatra, Sourabh Paul, Biswajit Dwivedy, Alejandro C. Frery

“…Exploiting the dependencies between hypergeometric functions and the Fisher-Snedecor distribution function, we formulate a closed-form solution for the CFAR detection threshold. Furthermore, we derive a closed-form expression of the detection probability for the proposed CFAR detector in terms of clutter model parameters and the signal-to-clutter ratio (SCR). …”
