The present invention discloses a SAR target positioning and detection method based on
radar and optical fusion, which belongs to the field of target recognition technology, and includes the following steps: step 1, setting the center position of the
radar and camera
field angle on the same vertical line, controlling the
radar and the camera to work at the same time, collecting radar data and optical data at the same time, and after the collection is completed, performing
signal processing,
radar imaging and imaging result enhancement on the collected radar
signal to obtain a SAR image; performing
data processing on the collected optical
signal to obtain an
optical image, and extracting optical target depth information at the same time; step 2, combining the data enhanced SAR image and the
optical image for inter-frame alignment; step 3, after inter-frame alignment, converting the radar image target and the
optical image target to the same spatial coordinate
system to complete target positioning alignment; step 4, fusing the optical image target category to the SAR image to complete SAR target detection. The present invention improves the overall detection speed and accuracy.
