报告摘要：

Statistics has a prominent role in SAR - Synthetic Aperture Radar image processing and analysis. More often than not, these data cannot be described by the usual additive Gaussian noise model. Rather than that, a multiplicative signal-dependent model adequately explains the observations. After summarizing the main distributions for both the univariate and multivariate image formats, we present eight seemingly different problems, and how they can be formulated and solved in a unified manner from a statistical viewpoint using Information Theory and Information Geometry.
