In this paper, the combinations of two compound Gaussian distributions plus thermal noise for modeling measured polarimetric clutter data are proposed. The speckle components of the proposed models are formed by the exponential distribution, while the texture components are mainly modeled using three different distributions. For this purpose, the gamma, the inverse gamma, and the inverse Gaussian distributions are considered to describe these modulation components. The study involves the analysis of underlying mixture models at X-band sea clutter data, and the parameters of the combination models are estimated using the non-linear least squares curve fitting method. Compared to existing K, Pareto type II, and KK clutter plus noise distributions, experimental results show that the proposed mixture models are well matched for fitting sea reverberation data across various range resolutions.
