Ship length calculation method based on observation data of microwave scatterometer

Abstract

The invention proposes a ship length calculation method based on observation data of a microwave scatterometer. The method comprises the following steps of performing cone scanning on a ship target bythe microwave scatterometer through a fan-shaped beam, and obtaining a plurality of groups of observation data of the ship target; calculating an included angle between a ship and the movement direction of a satellite according to the time delay, different observation azimuth angles and the Doppler frequency in the observation data; calculating the projection length of the ship in an echo direction according to a ship one-dimensional range profile on a certain observation azimuth angle in the observation data; and calculating the length of the ship according to the included angle between theship and the movement direction of the satellite and the projection length of the ship in the echo direction. According to the ship length calculation method based on the observation data of the microwave scatterometer provided by the invention, the sea surface detection range can be expanded by adopting the fan-shaped beam; the range resolution can be improved by using a broadband signal, and theazimuth resolution can be improved by using a circular scanning technology; and by at least four times of observation on the detected same target, the movement direction of the ship can be accuratelycalculated, and high-precision calculation on the ship length is realized.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave remote sensing, and in particular relates to a ship length calculation method based on microwave scatterometer observation data, and is especially suitable for the tasks of ship remote sensing detection and monitoring. Background technique [0002] Ship detection and surveillance is a traditional task of all coastal countries in the world, and has a wide range of applications in the military and people's livelihood departments. Since 2000, the United States, the European Union and China have carried out a series of ship remote sensing research work.
