In an attempt to remedy this situation, closed forms of [zlog(z)] and fractional order moments estimator (FOME) are derived in this work and yield a good estimation accuracy of parameters of the compound Gaussian clutter with log-normal texture (CG-LNT). Using simulated and real data, estimation comparisons show that best values of mean square error (MSE) and bias are achieved using the proposed procedures.Article
