PY - 2001 DA - 2001/06/01 TI - Generalized Method for Sampling Spatially Correlated Heterogeneous Speckled Imagery JO - EURASIP Journal on Advances in Signal Processing SP - 726342 VL - 2001 IS - 2 AB - This paper presents a general result for the simulation of correlated heterogeneous targets, which are present in images corrupted by speckle noise. This technique is based on the use of a correlation mask and Gaussian random variables, in order to obtain spatially dependent Gamma deviates. These Gamma random variables, in turn, allow the obtainment of correlateddeviates with specified correlation structure. The theoretical properties of the procedure are presented, along with the corresponding algorithm.
