Based on this distribution a test statistic for equality of two complex variance-covariance matrices and an associated asymptotic probability of obtaining a smaller value of the test statistic are given. In a case study airborne {EMISAR} {C-} and {L-}band {SAR} images from the spring of 1998 covering agricultural fields and wooded areas near Foulum, Denmark, are used in single- and bi-frequency, bi-temporal change detection with full and dual polarimetry data.", isbn_issn = "{DOI} 10.1109/JSTARS.2015.2416434" }
