Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bistatic synthetic aperture radar technology, specifically relating to a navigation satellite bistatic InSAR high coherence DEM imaging method based on adaptive region segmentation. Background Technology

[0002] A GNSS-based bistatic synthetic aperture radar (BiSAR) utilizes in-orbit navigation satellites as external radiation sources (i.e., transmitters) to transmit signals, with the receiver located near the ground. The receiver can be airborne, vehicle-mounted, or fixed. Due to the abundance of in-orbit navigation satellite resources, the receiver can receive navigation signals from at least eight satellites at any given time, achieving three-dimensional deformation inversion through information fusion from different angles.

[0003] GNSS-based BiSAR uses interferometric techniques to measure target elevation. In GNSS-based InSAR (Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar) systems, the accuracy of the Digital Elevation Model (DEM) information limits the accuracy of deformation inversion (i.e., the accuracy of inverting surface deformation based on the phase information of the image). On the one hand, the topological phase error caused by elevation error will greatly reduce the correlation between image pairs, thus affecting the interferometric measurement results. At the same time, elevation error will cause the same target to have different focal positions at different angles, affecting the accuracy of joint processing of multi-angle images. On the other hand, since the two-dimensional resolution of GNSS-based InSAR systems is low, directly using the raw elevation information for imaging will lead to shape distortion of the resolution cells, requiring fitting.

[0004] Traditional fitting algorithms include full-scene fitting algorithms and sub-region fitting algorithms. However, full-scene fitting algorithms have low fitting accuracy and cannot meet the elevation accuracy requirements of PS points (persistent scatterers, i.e., permanent scatterers, large target reflection points); sub-region fitting algorithms require segmentation of resolution cells, which disrupts the integrity of resolution cells and the continuity of elevation data. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a navigation satellite bistatic InSAR high coherence DEM imaging method based on adaptive region segmentation. This method proposes the concept of image valleys, utilizes complete resolution cells (CRCs) and image valleys for adaptive sub-region segmentation, and then performs elevation fitting using second-order weighted least squares within each sub-region. Finally, highly correlated SAR images are obtained for interferometry to achieve high-precision deformation inversion results. This solves the problems of low elevation data fitting accuracy and continuity interruption in navigation satellite bistatic imaging algorithms, realizing a high-coherence imaging algorithm based on adaptive partitioning and elevation fitting suitable for GNSS-based InSAR systems. It improves elevation fitting accuracy, ensures the integrity of resolution cells and the continuity of elevation data, compensates for focus position deviations, eliminates resolution cell distortion, exhibits strong correlation between image pairs, and achieves high target deformation inversion accuracy.

[0066] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0067] Azimuth direction: The direction of the center of the SAR transmit beam.

[0068] Range direction: The direction perpendicular to the azimuth direction of the SAR transmitted beam.

[0069] This invention discloses a navigation satellite bistatic InSAR high-coherence DEM imaging method based on adaptive region segmentation, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps:

[0070] In this embodiment of the invention, CRC points are first selected from the coarse imaging result image; then, based on the calculated image valley results, the image boundary is determined, and the image region is adaptively segmented; finally, elevation fitting is performed in each sub-region to obtain a SAR image with high correlation, elevation continuity, and resolution cell integrity.

[0071] Step 1: Obtain the coarse imaging result image and select the CRC points of the coarse imaging result image.

[0072] In this embodiment of the invention, the coarse imaging result image is generated based on the original elevation data and GNSS echo data of the target scene. The original elevation data can be imported from existing data, and the GNSS echo data comes from the receiver.

[0073] In this embodiment of the invention, the CRC point is selected by the local maximum detection method. The pixel coordinates (x, y) of each pixel in the coarse imaging result image are represented as target vectors. Then, the fuzzy function between the target vector A of any pixel and the target vector B of the neighboring pixel is as shown in the following equation (1):

[0074]

[0075] In the above formula, Φ TA and Φ RA λ is the unit vector from the transmitter and receiver to the target vector A, respectively; λ is the wavelength; p is the beam distance after pulse compression; β is the bistatic angle of incidence; Θ is the unit vector along the bisector of angle β; c is the speed of light; m A This is the result of azimuth pulse compression of the beam; w E Ξ and Ξ represent the equivalent angular velocity and the unit vector in the equivalent direction of motion of the satellite relative to the target, respectively; j is an imaginary number representing the phase information of the image.

[0076] Furthermore, based on the maximum values ​​max(χ(A,B)) of equation (1), pixels with amplitude differences less than 3Db are selected, and the theoretical 3Db resolution unit is determined as shown in equation (2) below:

[0077]

[0078] Furthermore, the amplitude of the coarse imaging result image is expressed using I. c This indicates that the local maximum value within the theoretical 3dB resolution cell range is selected as the CRC point, as shown in equation (3) below:

[0079]

[0080] Step 2: Based on the coordinates of each CRC point, determine the pixel coordinates of each pixel point corresponding to the image valley between different resolution units, and obtain the image valley boundary of each resolution unit.

[0081] In this embodiment of the invention, image valleys are used to identify edge points between resolution units. The magnitude and direction of each pixel (x, y) corresponding to an image valley are defined as shown in equations (4) and (5), respectively:

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] In the above formula, f() represents the amplitude of the coarse imaging result image; (m,n) are the pixel coordinates of each selected CRC point.

[0085] Step 3: Perform boundary gap compensation on the valley boundaries of the image to obtain adaptive region segmentation results corresponding to the boundaries of each sub-region. The adaptive region segmentation results include multiple sub-regions.

[0086] Step 31: Determine the coarse boundaries of each region to be divided based on the preset threshold value of the image valley.

[0087] In this embodiment of the invention, the threshold value of the image valley is thre M You can configure it as needed, for example, thre M The threshold is 10 dB. Based on the image valley threshold value... M The coarse boundary E1 of each region to be divided is determined as shown in equation (6):

[0088] E1={(x,y)|M(x,y)>thre M} (6)

[0089] Step 32: The coarse boundary is tinned to obtain the tinned boundary of each region to be divided.

[0090] In this embodiment of the invention, the coarse boundary E1 of each region to be divided is tinned, that is, along each image valley direction α(x,y), the maximum value point of the image valley amplitude M(x,y) is selected to obtain the tinned boundary E2 of each region to be divided, as shown in the following formula (7):

[0091]

[0092] In the above formula, L represents a straight line passing through the CRC point and along the α(x,y) direction.

[0093] Step 33: Repair the small-distance gaps of the tin-plated boundary of the region to be divided using the minimum distance criterion to obtain the repaired boundary of each region to be divided.

[0094] In this embodiment of the invention, the minimum distance criterion is used to repair the small-distance gaps in the tin-bonded boundary E2 of each region to be divided. For example, the endpoints of the small-distance gaps are connected to form the repair boundary E3 of each region to be divided. The small-distance gaps can be selectively set as needed; for example, a distance of less than 10m can be defined as a small-distance boundary.

[0095] Step 34: Compensate for long-distance gaps in the repair boundaries of the regions to be divided, and determine the compensation boundaries of each region to be divided.

[0096] In this embodiment of the invention, for long-distance gaps other than small-distance gaps, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the breakpoint P for a long gap. d0 Record the breakpoint P d0 The previous boundary segment was L. d On line segment L d Find the match with P d0 N adjacent points are denoted as P. d1 ...P dN The reference direction γ of the compensation boundary and the breakpoint P d0 and its N neighboring points P d1 ...P dN The relationship between the valley directions in the image is shown in equation (8):

[0097]

[0098] Furthermore, using θ as the angular tolerance, the point P where the maximum value of the image valley amplitude M(x,y) within the range of (γ±θ) is selected. l As the next connection point, it is shown in equation (9) below:

[0099]

[0100] Breakpoint P d0 With connection point P l Connection, P l As the next breakpoint, repeat the above operation until the region is closed or M(P) is reached. l The value is very small, resulting in the compensation boundary E4 after long-distance gap compensation. Wherein, in M(P)l In cases where the value is very small, directly set the breakpoint P. d0 Simply connect it to the endpoint of the repair boundary.

[0101] Step 35: Remove the regions to be divided that do not contain CRC points, and merge the regions to be divided according to their area to obtain the adaptive region segmentation result.

[0102] In this embodiment of the invention, based on the compensation boundary E4, regions to be segmented that do not contain CRC points are removed. Then, based on the area of ​​each region to be segmented, regions with areas smaller than a preset area threshold are merged to obtain the final adaptive region segmentation result comprising the various sub-regions. For example, the merging method could be staggered sliding, merging regions smaller than the preset area threshold into adjacent regions larger than the preset area threshold.

[0103] Step 4: Perform elevation fitting in each of the sub-regions to generate SAR images.

[0104] In this embodiment of the invention, a second-order weighted least squares method is used to perform elevation fitting in each sub-region. Wherein, sub-region R... Q The elevation values ​​of the K fitted points within the range are shown in equation (10) below:

[0105] DEM(x,y)=a·b (10)

[0106] In the above formula, a is the weighting matrix to be calculated, and b is the elevation matrix of each pixel, as shown in the following formula (11):

[0107]

[0108] Using the diagonal weighted matrix W, the second-order weighted least squares method is used to calculate the weighted matrix to be found, and the estimated value of the weighted matrix a is obtained. As shown in equation (12):

[0109]

[0110] In the above formula, the diagonal weighting matrix W is determined according to the amplitude of the coarse imaging result image, as shown in the following formula (13):

[0111] W=diag(f(x1,y1),f(x2,y2),...,f(x K ,y K (13)

[0112] Accordingly, the fitted elevations for each sub-region are shown in equation (14) below:

[0113]

[0114] In this embodiment of the invention, a SAR image is generated using a post-projection algorithm based on the fitted elevation of each sub-region.

[0115] In this embodiment of the invention, the post-projection algorithm is a classic time-domain radar imaging algorithm. Based on the fitted elevation of each sub-region, the post-projection algorithm is used to generate a highly coherent SAR image, as shown in the following equation (15):

[0116]

[0117] In the above formula, I f The generated SAR image; u is the slow time in the beam range direction; s is the range pulse compression result of the echo signal, representing the amplitude information of the image; R(x,y) is the bistatic range synchronized from the transmitter, as shown in equation (16) below:

[0118] R(x,y)=|P S -[x,y,DEM fit [x,y)]|+|P E -[x,y,DEM fit [(x,y)]|-|P S -P E | (16)

[0119] In the above formula, P S P represents the satellite's three-dimensional position coordinates. E These are the position coordinates of the satellite's receiving antenna.

[0120] In this embodiment of the invention, HTM mine is used as the target scenario, the actual mine elevation is used as the original elevation data, and the transmitter is the BDMEO19 satellite. The parameters of the BDMEO19 satellite are shown in Table 1 below:

[0121] Table 1

[0122]

[0123] Using echo data from the BDMEO19 satellite on November 22, 29, December 6, and December 13, 2019, experiments were conducted using the adaptive region segmentation-based bistatic InSAR high-coherence DEM imaging method of this invention. The distribution of CRC points selected from the coarse imaging results is as follows: Figure 3 As shown; the image valley boundaries of each resolution unit are as follows Figure 4 As shown; the compensated boundary after boundary gap compensation is as follows. Figure 5 As shown, from Figure 5As can be seen, the boundary gaps of each region to be segmented are compensated and consistent with the CRC point distribution in the SAR image; the adaptive region segmentation result is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, from Figure 6 As can be seen, the distribution of each sub-region is consistent with the distribution of CRC points in the coarse imaging result image, and the edges of the sub-regions avoid the resolution cells, ensuring the integrity of each resolution cell; SAR images using traditional fitting algorithms, such as Figure 7 As shown, the SAR image generated by the fitted elevation determined using the imaging method of this invention is as follows: Figure 8 As shown, from Figure 7 and Figure 8 The comparison shows that the imaging method of the present invention fits the elevation data with high accuracy, and the generated SAR image is continuous and complete.

[0124] Furthermore, using the image from November 22, 2019 as the main image and images from the other three days as secondary images, SAR images were generated by performing elevation fitting using both traditional fitting algorithms and the imaging method of this invention. The average coherence coefficients between each image pair are shown in Table 2 below:

[0125] Table 2

[0126]

[0127] As can be seen from the table above, the coherence coefficients between the image pairs obtained by the imaging method of this invention are much higher than those of traditional fitting algorithms.
