TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of target detection and identification, and particularly relates to a low-altitude target identification system and method combining multi-band signal processing. BACKGROUND
[0002] Low-altitude airspace activities include small unmanned aerial vehicles, birds, and ultra-light aircrafts. Such targets are small in size, low in flight altitude, and strong in maneuverability, and are often mixed with buildings, ground clutter, or natural bird flocks in the atmospheric boundary layer and complex terrain background. The clutter and target signals are often difficult to separate in the low-altitude scene, which may cause false alarms and missed alarms.
[0003] In the prior art, common solutions include multi-frequency radar detection, passive radar monitoring, and auxiliary identification using satellite navigation reflection signals or communication signals. Multi-frequency radars have complementary advantages in detection distance and resolution, but the physical characteristics of signals at different frequencies differ significantly. Existing methods mostly stop at result fusion and lack physical consistency modeling, which has limited stability in complex environments. Passive monitoring methods have good concealment, but can only provide limited prior information and are difficult to support reliable identification alone. On the other hand, weather conditions have a significant impact on the propagation of millimeter waves, terahertz, and infrared waves, and existing methods generally lack effective propagation correction mechanisms, and the performance decreases significantly in fog, precipitation, and high humidity environments. In addition, in multi-target scenarios, existing scheduling strategies lack consideration of sampling time and resource allocation, which may lead to track loss or identification delay. For rotorcraft targets, although harmonic characteristics exist in radar and acoustic signals, existing methods mostly analyze in a single signal domain, and the cross-domain matching and mutual verification mechanism is insufficient. Once a signal channel degrades or some harmonics are missing, the identification accuracy will be significantly affected. Therefore, we propose a low-altitude target identification system and method combining multi-band signal processing. SUMMARY
[0004] To overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, the present application provides a low-altitude target identification method combining multi-band signal processing to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art.

[0046] When the category confidence is insufficient, the meteorological acquisition subsystem is requested to increase the spatiotemporal resolution of atmospheric correction.
[0047] In summary, the present application has the following advantages:
[0048] By collecting multi-frequency radar data under a unified time reference and introducing geometric scaling, scattering distribution and rotor harmonic constraints in the latent vector space, the observation results of different frequency bands can be mapped to the same feature space. This approach avoids classification bias caused by frequency band differences, making the recognition result more reliable and facilitating the rapid introduction of new target categories in the case of limited sample size; By using global satellite navigation system reflection signals, wireless local area network or fifth generation mobile communication channel state information, and very high frequency / ultra high frequency passive radar signals, the existence of the target can be determined first, and then the short-time acquisition of the library wave band or millimeter wave radar is triggered. This passive judgment and active follow-up method reduces the invalid residence time of active radar, reduces energy consumption and electromagnetic exposure, and concentrates limited sampling resources in more valuable spatiotemporal regions;
[0049] In view of the influence of fog, haze, precipitation and humidity on millimeter wave, terahertz and infrared channels, the system corrects the propagation process through meteorological profile data and generates an environmental label to guide the weight adjustment of different channels. For example, when the humidity is high, the proportion of terahertz and infrared channels is reduced, and only millimeter wave is retained as the main channel, thereby ensuring the stability of the recognition performance in bad weather; By predicting the rotor phase to determine the short-time sampling window, the micro-Doppler features collected are more clear. In the case of multiple targets, a priority queue is introduced to arrange the residence order according to the confidence of passive discrimination, the environmental label and the cross-domain harmonic consistency score. In this way, the recognition accuracy and track continuity can be considered, and the target loss risk can be reduced; When extracting rotor harmonics from radar signals and acoustic signals, there may be noise or partial loss. Through group sparsity modeling and neighbor number interpolation methods, stable cross-domain harmonic pairing can be achieved, and the credibility of the pairing can be improved combined with the latent vector weight. The final consistency score not only serves as the basis for the recognition result, but also is fed back to the passive trigger and scheduling link to adjust the subsequent sampling strategy, thereby forming an adaptive closed-loop mechanism.

The acoustic perception subsystem (corresponding to method step E) is used to acquire array microphone signals, extract rotor harmonic families and perform robust pairing in scenarios with missing harmonics, and generate cross-domain consistency scores and category recognition results. A processor and memory are provided for storing and executing program instructions. The processor updates the triggering conditions of the passive sensing subsystem and the residency policy of the scheduling control subsystem based on the cross-domain consistency score.
