Knowing the shapes and spin states of near-Earth asteroids is essential to understanding their dynamical evolution because of the Yarkovsky and YORP effects. Delay-Doppler radar imaging is the most powerful ground-based technique for imaging near-Earth asteroids and can obtain spatial resolution of
Speckle in radar images has the characteristic of a multiplicative noise. In this article, two unsupewised methods are introduced to estimate the speckle noise statistics using the mean and the standard deviation of small image blocks (4 x 4, or 6 x 6 pixels). Since most radar images contain many sm
