Abstract

The invention relates to a polarimetric SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) interferometry image registration method based on optimal correlation coefficient linearity, which belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing. Through utilizing a function relationship between relevant coefficient linearity of each polarimetric channel and image registration deviation, an image offset value withthe optimum relevant coefficient linearity is used as an image registration value. Due to the full utilization of interferometry and polarimetric information of a target, higher image registration accuracy is provided for a vegetation-covered area with serious volume scattering and uniform back scattering, and the existing problems of large registration error and low accuracy when the traditionalimage registration method is used for processing the polarimetric SAR interferometry image of the vegetation-covered area are effectively solved.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a method for registering images of polarization interference synthetic aperture radar (SAR), which belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing. Background technique

[0002] Complex image registration is an extremely important step in the process of polarimetric SAR signal processing. If there is a deviation in complex image registration, it will cause complex signals of different targets to interfere, thereby reducing the signal-to-noise ratio of interference fringes and affecting the accuracy of elevation inversion. Therefore, the high-precision registration of complex images is the premise and basis for data processing of polarimetric SAR.

[0003] For non-vegetated areas, due to the small influence of volume scattering decoherence, traditional interferometric SAR image registration methods can be used for image registration, such as correlation function method, average wave function method and maximum spectru...
