A method and apparatus (1) for processing SAR imagery data, comprising: determining variance ratio data from the SAR imagery data; and processing, for use in change detection, the determined variance ratios data by making use of the F-distribution. The method may further comprise selecting a desired false alarm rate; and wherein making use of the F-distribution comprises determining a change detection threshold for the determined variance ratios data that is dependent upon the F-distribution and the desired false alarm rate. Another possibility is that making use of the F-distribution comprises using the F-distribution to determine probabilities for the determined variance ratios data.
