Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of radar imaging, and particularly relates to a radar forward-looking super-resolution imaging method based on echo energy correction. BACKGROUND
[0002] In actual scenes such as aircraft landing in bad weather, ground mapping and target reconnaissance, forward-looking super-resolution imaging technology is crucial for target identification of a moving platform. However, due to the limitation of the real aperture size of a radar, the angular resolution of a traditional real beam radar is difficult to meet the demand. A deconvolution method converts the imaging problem into an inversion problem by modeling the echo as a convolution of the antenna pattern amplitude information and the target scattering coefficient, so as to improve the angular resolution of the forward-looking area.
[0003] Under the condition that the amplitude information of the antenna and the echo is known, researchers have proposed a variety of deconvolution methods based on different criteria. Zhang Q et al. proposed a sparse-based fast maximization minimization super-resolution algorithm, which, compared with the standard sparse maximization minimization method, improves the angular resolution of radar forward-looking imaging while speeding up the convergence.
[0004] The traditional convolution model reconstructs the target based on the antenna pattern amplitude information, but under a high-speed platform, the Doppler phase caused by platform motion will change the convolution process, thereby affecting the convolution matrix, leading to distortion of the imaging result or even false targets. Zhang H H et al. proposed a Bayesian forward-looking super-resolution imaging algorithm based on extended beam space Doppler deconvolution. This method combines the Doppler phase information of a high-speed moving platform with the antenna pattern characteristics, achieving efficient Doppler deconvolution. In the high-speed platform scenario, this method significantly improves the angular resolution and effectively suppresses noise. Y. Wu et al. proposed a complex deconvolution method that simultaneously uses amplitude and Doppler phase information. This method uses the correspondence between amplitude and Doppler phase to construct a complex convolution matrix, and uses the truncated singular value decomposition method to suppress noise amplification, achieving forward-looking super-resolution imaging of a moving platform.
[0005] These methods can achieve better imaging results under ideal platform motion states. However, in actual applications, platform speed is often affected by factors such as weather changes and platform acceleration, resulting in measurement errors. Currently, most radar forward-looking platforms rely on inertial navigation systems to measure flight speed to meet imaging needs, but high-precision measurement often requires high equipment costs. Therefore, it is particularly necessary to determine the platform motion speed through estimation methods. SUMMARY

[0061] The present application uses simulation experiments to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. All steps and conclusions of the present application are verified on the Matlab 2022b simulation platform. In order to enable relevant personnel in the field to understand the invention content, the present application is further described below in conjunction with the drawings.
[0062] A radar forward-looking super-resolution imaging method based on echo energy correction, as shown in Figure 1 comprises the following steps:
[0063] Step one, platform speed induced model error characterization method;
[0064] The radar transmits a linear frequency modulation signal to the target area, and pulse compression and range migration correction are performed on the received echo signal. After discretization processing, the azimuth echo signal can be represented as:
[0065]
[0066] wherein, is a double summation operator, the imaging scene is discretized into a plurality of scattering points on a two-dimensional grid, and the operator accumulates the scattering echo signals, represents the scattering coefficient of the target located at in the two-dimensional scene, is the position coordinate of the scattering point irradiated by the radar at the moment of the ground two-dimensional coordinate system, that is, the accurate time point at which the radar antenna beam center line of sight is aligned with the ground coordinate . represents fast time, represents slow time. The function represents antenna pattern modulation, represents carrier frequency. represents the function , is the bandwidth of the transmitted signal. is the initial slant range of the target, is the speed of light. is the instantaneous slant range between the radar antenna and the scattering point at the moment of slow time . represents the baseband signal obtained by the radar receiver.
[0067] The conventional deconvolution method usually ignores the Doppler phase , and the echo signal is constructed as the convolution of the antenna pattern amplitude information and the target scattering coefficient. However, on a high-speed platform, the Doppler phase affects the antenna modulation function, converts the convolution operation into a vector operation, causes false targets and reduces the angular resolution. To overcome this problem, the present application constructs a complex convolution matrix containing the Doppler phase.
[0068] Within the same range unit, the echo can be represented as:
[0069]
[0070] wherein
[0071]
[0072]
[0073] wherein represents a fixed distance unit as the first slow time collected echo signal, wherein is the distance between radar and target, and is the corresponding radar electromagnetic wave signal round trip time when represents the position of the imaging point in the ground coordinate system in the corresponding imaging scene, represents the scattering coefficient of different slow time imaging points when the distance between radar and target is represents the position of the M'th scattering point on the distance axis. M' represents the angular dimension, represents the first distance unit corresponding to the complex convolution matrix, which is constructed as follows:
[0074]
[0075] wherein, is the Doppler phase matrix constructed by the Doppler phase of formula (1). Symbol represents the dot product operation, is a conventional convolution matrix constructed based on the antenna pattern. Wherein the Doppler phase matrix is in the following form:
[0076]
[0077] wherein, is the imaginary unit, is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave emitted by the radar, is the pitch angle, is the motion speed of the radar platform, is the first, …, slow time sampling moment, is the corresponding azimuth squint angle at moment.
[0078] Finally, the echo signal can be represented as:
[0079]
[0080] where, is the noise vector.
[0081] Step two, the velocity estimation method based on echo energy correction, the accurate estimation of velocity is realized by minimizing the waveform entropy. In super-resolution imaging, velocity error significantly affects the reconstruction performance of the target scene. The complex convolution model is based on the phase and amplitude information of the echo signal, while the velocity error will introduce phase distortion, destroy the accuracy of the model, cause imaging blur, and reduce the imaging quality. Therefore, in order to ensure the accuracy of super-resolution imaging, the platform velocity must be accurately estimated and compensated.
[0082] First, define the waveform entropy, for discrete signal , the waveform entropy is defined as:
[0083]
[0084] where, represents the th signal of the discrete signal G vector, , where is the normalized probability density of the signal, represents norm, G is the time sequence of the echo signal, is the length of the signal.
[0085] Waveform entropy can effectively evaluate the influence of motion parameters on the target distance direction. When the motion of the platform causes the peak value in the one-dimensional range image to diverge, the waveform entropy increases; when the velocity compensation error is zero, the waveform entropy reaches the minimum value. Therefore, by searching for the global minimum value of the waveform entropy on the velocity axis, the motion parameters of the platform can be determined.
[0086] In actual situations, due to the influence of noise, the entropy curve may appear pseudo-peak, affecting the performance of the interval search method. In order to solve this problem, the following formula optimizes the definition of the waveform entropy:
[0087]
[0088] where represents the optimized waveform entropy definition, which is distinguished from formula (6).
[0089] The specific steps of the velocity estimation method based on echo energy correction are as follows:
[0090] Step 2.1. Obtain the echo data after pulse compression , that is, obtained by azimuth dimension sampling Column vector composition, whose dimension size is wherein denotes the distance dimension sampling unit, denotes the azimuth dimension sampling unit.
[0091] Step 2.2. Set the velocity search interval wherein is the lower limit of velocity, is the upper limit of velocity, set as , and the iteration termination threshold wherein is the velocity measured according to the inertial navigation system, which has limited measurement accuracy and certain measurement error.
[0092] Step 2.3. Calculate the velocity and the velocity respectively.
[0093]
[0094]
[0095] wherein, , is the corrected one-dimensional waveform entropy of the velocity and denotes the one-dimensional waveform entropy function, which is defined as formula (7), i.e. , denotes the inverse fast Fourier transform, denotes the fast Fourier transform, denotes the radar transmitting signal frequency, denotes the squint angle of the radar beam center line of sight relative to the positive side view direction.
[0096] Step 2.4. If , then shrink the search interval;
[0097] If , then shrink the interval as follows:
[0098]
[0099]
[0100] If , then shrink the interval as follows:
[0101]
[0102]
[0103] in Represents the shrinkage ratio; after several iterations, until the convergence criterion is met , the speed search is terminated.
[0104] Step 2.5. Output the estimated speed :If the iteration is terminated, ,but On the contrary, .
[0105] Step 3: Correction of the complex convolution echo model;
[0106] After correcting the speed based on the echo energy, the present invention can obtain a more accurate platform motion speed than the inertial navigation measurement. , so a more accurate phase measurement matrix can be constructed. Furthermore, the Doppler phase matrix D can be modified as follows:
[0107]
[0108] in is the corrected Doppler phase matrix.
[0109] In order to simplify the modified echo model formula, let , so the echo signal can be updated as:
[0110]
[0111] Step 4: Sparse super-resolution algorithm based on power weighting;
[0112] According to the signal echo model shown in formula (15), let
[0113]
[0114] Where, Indicates echo signal The autocorrelation matrix of yes The conjugate transpose of yes The conjugate transpose of is a matrix No. column vectors, means to diagonalize the vector into a diagonal matrix, represents the target power matrix, Represents the diagonal vector of the target power matrix No. elements. Then construct the following sparse constraint criteria:
[0115]
[0116] in represents the weight factor, The target Power.
[0117] Equation (17) is a globally solvable convex optimization problem. Therefore, it can be minimized using iterative loops to achieve monotonically decreasing and global convergence in the iterations.
[0118]
[0119] No. The target power of the iteration can be expressed as:
[0120]
[0121] in Indicates that the target is being updated. Power, Indicates the In the first iteration, An estimate of the power, express The conjugate transpose of Indicates the At the iteration, the echo covariance matrix is estimated.
[0122] Step 4: After iterative solution, the target super-resolution imaging result is obtained.
[0123] In order to verify the effectiveness of the present invention, simulation verification was carried out on the Matlab2022b simulation platform. The simulation scene of two-dimensional multi-point targets is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in (a) in the figure, the relevant simulation parameters are detailed in Table 1, and the simulation environment and platform are consistent with those described in Table 2.

[0128] Based on the above analysis, different distance waveform entropy curves are obtained by changing the velocity compensation parameter as shown in FIG. 7, when the waveform entropy reaches the minimum value, the estimated velocity is very close to the actual velocity of the platform.

[0129] The application further adopts a sparse super-resolution algorithm based on power weighting to perform super-resolution reconstruction on the target scattering coefficient. A two-dimensional multi-point target simulation scene is shown in (a) of FIG. 8. The simulation parameters are shown in Table 3, and the simulation environment is consistent with Table 2. Figure 5
