We consider the problem of jointly estimating the location and scatter matrix of a Compound Gaussian distribution with unknown deterministic texture parameters. When the location is known, the Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE) of the scatter matrix corresponds to Tyler's M-estimator, which can be computed using fixed point iterations. However, when the location is unknown, the joint estimation problem remains challenging since the associated standard fixed-point procedure to evaluate the solution may often diverge. In this paper, we propose a stable algorithm based on Riemannian optimization for this problem. Finally, numerical simulations show the good performance and usefulness of the proposed algorithm.
