Clutter plays a very important role in the area of machine and human-in-the-loop target acquisition. A great deal of interest has recently been shown in assessing several different definitions of clutter. In spite of so many definitions available, no single clutter definition has been agreed on by the target acquisition modeling community as being the best. Here we develop a new clutter metric, called relative clutter, based on factor analysis which is extensively used for statistical analysis. This relative clutter combines many definitions of clutter. Different methods for calculating the relative clutter based on the magnitude of the eigenvalues obtained from the correlation matrix are suggested. The relative clutter of many images is analyzed. The relative clutter is used to calculate probability of detection on Night Vision Lab (NVL) Terrain Board Infrared images.
