Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a near-field three-dimensional imaging system and method for a millimeter wave synthetic aperture radiometer, and belongs to the technical field of millimeter wave near-field imaging. Background Art

[0002] The millimeter-wave synthetic aperture radiometer uses synthetic aperture technology to synthesize a large-aperture antenna using a small-aperture array element antenna to achieve higher-resolution imaging detection. It also has the characteristics of both infrared and microwave imaging, and can penetrate clothing, plastic, wood, etc. to achieve hidden detection. It has strong application prospects in remote sensing monitoring, military, navigation, medical and security inspection and other fields.

[0003] Currently, due to the limitation of the system array scale, the number of visibility points measured by the aperture radiometer is relatively small; and due to the interference of background noise and system errors, the millimeter wave images measured by the aperture radiometer have large errors; in near-field applications, affected by spherical waves, there is a large modeling error between the traditional far-field imaging model and the actual near-field imaging process, making it difficult for traditional imaging methods to achieve accurate near-field imaging inversion. In order to achieve accurate near-field aperture radiometer imaging inversion, many near-field aperture radiometer algorithms have been proposed. According to the implementation principle of the algorithm, they can be divided into two categories: one is the MFFT algorithm based on Fourier transform, which performs near-field phase correction on the visibility function and then performs FFT operation on the corrected visibility function to obtain the brightness temperature image of the target scene. This type of algorithm is simple to operate, but it cannot eliminate the near-field modeling error of the imaging model, and the inverted image has large reconstruction errors and noise interference. The other type is a regularization algorithm based on the near-field G matrix. It reduces the modeling error of the imaging model by accurately mathematically modeling the near-field imaging process. It also uses the regularization algorithm to numerically invert the target image based on the prior information of the imaging process and the brightness temperature image, thereby achieving more accurate image reconstruction. This type of algorithm has a high accuracy in reconstructing the model and a relatively accurate reconstruction result. It is currently a commonly used near-field imaging method. However, it has extremely high requirements for the accuracy of the model parameters. For targets with multiple distance phases in the same scene, it is difficult to achieve accurate reconstruction and inversion, and there are certain limitations in practical applications. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a near-field three-dimensional imaging system and method for a millimeter-wave synthetic aperture radiometer, which can improve the imaging inversion image accuracy of complex close-range target scenes.

[0005] To achieve the above object, the present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0006] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a near-field three-dimensional imaging method for a millimeter-wave synthetic aperture radiometer, comprising:

[0007] Acquire the millimeter wave signal of the target scene;

[0008] Construct visibility function based on millimeter wave signals;

[0009] Based on the visibility function, a two-dimensional scene graph with different distance parameters is inverted;

[0010] Construct an image-distance dataset based on a two-dimensional scene graph;

[0011] Perform partition calibration on the image-distance dataset and construct distance functions for targets in different regions;

[0012] An imaging model is constructed based on the distance function, and the target scene is adaptively reconstructed and inverted in different regions to obtain a millimeter wave image.

[0013] Furthermore, a visibility function is constructed based on the millimeter wave signal, including:

[0014] After accumulating the millimeter wave signals received by the array antennas, the visibility function is obtained by complex correlation calculation between the antennas. The sample points of the visibility function are expressed as:

[0015]

[0016] Among them, V c,l represents the visibility function sample point, Indicates the distance from antenna c to radiation source S i The distance Represents the distance from antenna l to radiation source S i distance, t represents the propagation time, represents the electromagnetic signal received by the array element antenna c, represents the conjugate of the electromagnetic signal received by the array element antenna l, <·> represents the time integration, τ is the integration time, N represents the number of discrete point radiation sources, (x i ,y i ) is the radiation source S i Coordinate, T(x i ,y i ) is the normalized brightness temperature, F c (x i ,y i ) represents the antenna pattern of antenna c, represents the conjugate of the antenna pattern of antenna l, r c,l is the stripe elimination function, represents the phase difference between the antenna pair (c,l).

[0017] 4. Further, based on the visibility function, the two-dimensional scene graph under different distance parameters is inverted, including:

[0021] In the formula, Indicates the distance from antenna c to radiation source S i The distance Represents the distance from antenna l to radiation source S i The distance (X c ,Y c ) and (X l ,Y l ) represents the coordinates of antennas c and l, (x i ,y i ) represents the radiation source S i Coordinates, R represents the distance from the radiation source plane to the antenna plane;

[0022] Substituting the distance expression from the antenna to the radiation source into the visibility function, we get the matrix equation:

[0024]

[0025] Where V M×1 Represents the vector form of the visibility matrix, G M×N Represents the vector form of the sensor matrix, T N×1 represents the vector form of the brightness temperature image to be obtained, G(m,n) represents the expression form of the sensor matrix, and F mc (xi,yi) represents the antenna pattern of antenna c corresponding to the mth visibility function sample point, represents the conjugate of the antenna pattern of the lth antenna corresponding to the mth visibility function sample point, (X ml ,Y ml ) and (X mc ,Y mc ) represents the coordinates of the two antennas corresponding to the mth visibility function sample point;

[0026] The calculated sensor matrix is ​​iteratively inverted and solved by a regularization method to obtain a two-dimensional scene image under different distance parameters. The solution model is:

[0027]

[0028]

[0029] In the formula, minT J(T) represents the minimum cost function of the optimal parameters, G R represents the sensing matrix G with distance parameter R, T represents the reconstructed image, V represents the visibility function, T(i,j) represents the current pixel of the reconstructed image, T(i,j+1) represents the next column of pixels of the current pixel, and T(i+1,j) represents the next row of pixels of the current pixel;

[0030] The model is solved by the fast projected gradient FGP iterative inversion algorithm to obtain the two-dimensional scene images under different distance parameters.

[0031] Furthermore, constructing a three-dimensional image-distance dataset based on the two-dimensional scene graph includes: arranging the two-dimensional target scene graph according to its distance parameter to construct the three-dimensional image-distance dataset.

[0032] Furthermore, the three-dimensional image-distance dataset is partitioned and calibrated to construct distance functions for targets in different regions, including:

[0033] The distance parameter of the three-dimensional data set is corrected by region according to the image clarity. For the ki-th partition, the image clarity f in the region ki (R) is:

[0034] f ki (R) = EOG[T(x,y,R).*B ki (x,y)] (8)

[0035] Where EOG is the energy gradient function, which is used to characterize the self-definition of the image; B ki (x,y) is the position label matrix of the ki-th partition, and the expression is:

[0038] According to the clarity of each area ki (R) Determine max[f ki (R)] corresponds to the distance R ki , construct the distance function R(x,y):

[0039] R(x,y)=mean(R ki ),if (x,y)∈B ki (10)

[0040] In the formula, mean(R ki) means (x,y) in all partitions R ki The average value of B ki Represents the position label matrix of the ki-th partition.

[0041] Furthermore, an imaging model is constructed based on the distance function, and adaptive reconstruction and inversion are performed on the target scene in different regions to obtain a near-field millimeter wave image, including:

[0042] Substituting the distance function into the sensor matrix, we get the matrix imaging equation:

[0069] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0070] Embodiment 1:

[0071] The present embodiment discloses a near-field three-dimensional imaging method for a millimeter-wave synthetic aperture radiometer, which mainly includes: firstly, constructing a high-precision synthetic aperture imaging model based on the near-field imaging principle, and performing preliminary scene image reconstruction; then, partitioning and calibrating the model sensitive parameter R according to the clarity of the reconstructed image, and determining the model parameter values ​​of different target areas; finally, using a regularization method to perform adaptive reconstruction and inversion of the target scene in different regions, and obtaining an accurate near-field millimeter-wave image.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention adopts a two-dimensional sparse array layout, and a "T" antenna array is composed of 59 array element antennas, which are fixed on the platform.

[0073] Step 1: Use the sparse array of millimeter-wave comprehensive aperture radiation to passively detect the target scene, obtain the millimeter-wave signal of the target scene, and construct the visibility function of the target scene. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0074] The schematic diagram of the imaging principle of the comprehensive aperture radiometer of the present invention is as follows Figure 2 As shown in the figure, the array antenna (c, l) is located on the OXY plane, and the target S is located near the oxy plane. The visibility function is obtained by accumulating the millimeter wave signals received by the array antenna and performing complex correlation operations between the antennas. According to the principle of synthetic aperture interferometry, the sample points of the visibility function measured by the array antenna pair (c, l) can be expressed as:

[0075]

[0076] Among them, V c,l represents the visibility function sample point, Indicates the distance from antenna c to radiation source S i The distance Represents the distance from antenna l to radiation source S i distance, t represents the propagation time, represents the electromagnetic signal received by the array element antenna c, represents the conjugate of the electromagnetic signal received by the array element antenna l, <·> represents the time integration, τ is the integration time, N represents the number of discrete point radiation sources, (x i ,y i ) is the radiation source S i Coordinate, T(x i ,y i ) is the normalized brightness temperature, F c (x i ,y i ) represents the antenna pattern of antenna c, represents the conjugate of the antenna pattern of antenna l, r c,l is the stripe elimination function, represents the phase difference between the antenna pair (c,l).

[0077] The present invention verifies and analyzes the proposed near-field three-dimensional imaging method by experimental simulation. The main parameters used in the simulation are shown in Table 1; the array used in the simulation is "T" shaped, and its array elements are arranged as follows Figure 1 As shown, ● is the real element antenna and ○ is the visibility sampling point.

[0078]

[0079] Table 1. Main inversion parameters

[0080] The brightness temperature distribution of the target scene is as follows: Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the dimension is 100×100. In order to simulate the actual millimeter wave comprehensive aperture radiometer imaging process, the simulation Figure 3 The grayscale value of each pixel in is taken as the radiation intensity of the point source here, and the distance between the radiation point sources is set to half of the system spatial resolution; the distances between the four target ships and the array antenna are [5.06.78.39.5] m respectively, and their three-dimensional distribution diagram is shown in Figure 4 As shown: The received signal of the array element antenna is simulated by accumulating the millimeter wave signals generated by all point sources, and then the visibility function is obtained by complex correlation operation between antennas.

[0081] Step 2: With the help of the high-precision G matrix imaging algorithm, the two-dimensional scene graph under different distance parameters is inverted from the visibility function in step 1 to construct a three-dimensional image-distance data set T(x, y, R). The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0082] The distance from the antenna to the radiation source is expressed as:

[0083]

[0084]

[0085] In the formula, Indicates the distance from antenna c to radiation source Si The distance Represents the distance from antenna l to radiation source S i The distance (X c ,Y c ) and (X l ,Y l ) represents the coordinates of antennas c and l, (x i ,y i ) represents the radiation source S i The coordinates of the antenna are shown in Figure 2, and R represents the distance from the radiation source plane to the antenna plane. Substituting the distance expression from the antenna to the radiation source into the visibility function, we get the matrix equation:

[0086] V M×1 =G M×N ·T N×1 (4)

[0087]

[0088] Where V M×1 Represents the vector form of the visibility matrix, G M×N Represents the vector form of the sensor matrix, T N×1 represents the vector form of the brightness temperature image to be obtained, G(m,n) represents the expression form of the sensor matrix, and F mc (xi,yi) represents the antenna pattern of antenna c corresponding to the mth visibility function sample point, represents the conjugate of the antenna pattern of the lth antenna corresponding to the mth visibility function sample point, (X ml ,Y ml ) and (X mc ,Y mc ) represents the coordinates of the two antennas corresponding to the mth visibility function sample point.

[0089] Different distance R i The following sensing matrix G satisfies:

[0090] V=G Ri ·T Ri ,i=1,2,3,... (6)

[0091] Where V represents the visibility function, G Ri Represents R i Sensing matrix G, T at distance Ri Represents the reconstructed image at Ri distance.

[0092] Take the distance R from the radiation source plane to the antenna plane i is the estimated distance R 0 The confidence interval is 0.5R 0 ~1.5R 0, the visibility function under different distance parameters is reconstructed and inverted respectively to obtain the two-dimensional scene images under different distances.

[0093] The sensor matrix G of equation (6) is inverted and solved by using the regularization method, and the solution model is:

[0094]

[0095] In the formula, min T J(T) represents the minimum cost function of the optimal parameters, G R represents the sensing matrix G with distance parameter R, T represents the reconstructed image, V represents the visibility function, α is the regularization parameter, ||GT-V|| 2 2 is the fidelity term, which is used to ensure that the difference between the reconstructed image and the true millimeter wave image is small enough. P(T) is the regularization term of the total variation function, and its expression is:

[0096]

[0097] Where T(i, j) represents the current pixel of the reconstructed image, T(i, j+1) represents the next column of pixels of the current pixel, and T(i+1, j) represents the next row of pixels of the current pixel.

[0098] The two-dimensional scene images under different distance parameters are obtained through the fast gradient projection (FGP) iterative inversion algorithm. The two-dimensional target scene images are arranged according to their distance parameter R to construct a three-dimensional image-distance dataset T(x, y, R).

[0099] Step 3: Based on the image clarity, the image-distance dataset T(x, y, R) is partitioned and calibrated to construct the distance function R(x, y) of targets in different regions. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0100] The present invention calibrates the distance parameter R(x, y) of targets in different regions based on the image-distance data set T(x, y, R), and the specific method is as follows:

[0101] (1) The distance parameter of the three-dimensional image-distance data set is calibrated in different regions according to the image clarity. For the ki-th partition, the image clarity f in the region ki (R) is:

[0102] f ki (R) = EOG[T(x,y,R).*B ki (x,y)] (9)

[0103] Where EOG is the energy gradient function, which is used to characterize the self-definition of the image; B ki(x,y) is the position label matrix of the ki-th partition, and the expression is:

[0104]

[0105] In the formula, (x ki ,y ki ) is the center coordinate of the ki-th partition, N s is the size of the partition block, usually set to 1 / 10 of the image dimension.

[0106] (2) Based on the clarity of each area ki (R) Determine its accurate distance parameter, that is, find max[f ki (R)] corresponds to the distance R ki . Then construct the accurate distance function R(x,y):

[0107] R(x,y)=mean(R ki ),if(x,y)∈B ki (11)

[0108] In the formula, mean(R ki ) means (x,y) in all partitions R ki The average value of B ki Represents the position label matrix of the ki-th partition.

[0109] The distribution of the corrected distance R(x,y) of the ship scene is as follows Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it can be seen that for the main target (grey value greater than 20), the calibration of its distance parameter is relatively accurate, but due to the influence of noise, the faint target is submerged in the noise, and it is difficult to accurately determine its distance parameter.

[0110] Step 4: Based on the distance function in step 3, an accurate 3D-G imaging model is constructed to achieve more accurate image reconstruction for complex close-range target scenes. The specific implementation method is as follows:

[0111] (1) After obtaining the accurate distance parameter R(x, y), substitute it into equations (2) and (3) to obtain the accurate 3D-G matrix imaging equation:

[0112] V=G 3D ·T (12)

[0113]

[0114] (2) Using the aforementioned regularization algorithm for reconstruction inversion;

[0115] (3) To overcome the image break caused by the distance function R(x,y), a smoothing filter is first performed in the iterative inversion;

[0116] (4) The fast gradient projection (FGP) iterative inversion algorithm is used to solve the problem, with the maximum iteration step k set to 20 and the parameter α set to 0.07.

[0117] After obtaining a relatively accurate distance R(x,y), it is brought into the self-correction imaging model, and the millimeter wave image of the target scene is obtained by reconstruction and inversion as shown in Figure 6(a). By performing partitioned self-correction reconstruction and inversion on targets in different areas, a relatively accurate reconstructed image is obtained, and the target information of the four ships is relatively clear. For comparison, with the help of the traditional regularization algorithm, imaging inversion is performed under the same conditions (the distance R is set to the median value of 7m), and the reconstructed image result is shown in Figure 6(b). It can be seen that only the image of the second ship is clear (its distance is close to 7m); due to the large deviation between the distance parameter and the actual target distance, the images of the other three ships are relatively blurred and difficult to distinguish.

[0118] In order to objectively evaluate the accuracy of the reconstructed image, the root mean square error (RMSE), peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) and structural similarity (SSIM) of the inversion image of the traditional imaging method and the inversion image of the near-field 3D imaging method were calculated. The results are shown in Table 2:

[0119]

[0120] Table 2. Comparison of evaluation data of reconstructed images

[0121] Obviously, the RMSE of the inversion results of the near-field 3D imaging method based on adaptive correction is small, and the PSNR and SSIM are large. The results show that the proposed near-field 3D imaging method can effectively cope with complex close-range target scenes and achieve accurate near-field multi-target imaging inversion.
