Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar technology, and specifically relates to an integrated video synthetic aperture radar imaging and tracking method, which can be used by various types of airborne radars to detect moving targets on the ground. Background Technology

[0002] Video Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a high-resolution, high-frame-rate radar imaging system capable of acquiring dynamic SAR images of an observed scene and sensing moving targets or dynamic changes within it. Compared to traditional optical and infrared sensors, SAR has stronger penetration capabilities and can maintain uninterrupted imaging of the observed scene even under degraded environmental conditions such as cloud cover or smoke obstruction. SAR typically operates in spotlight mode, and its continuous imaging characteristic places high demands on the robustness of the imaging algorithm. Backprojection is a classic SAR imaging algorithm, characterized by its simplicity, robustness, and flexible imaging area settings, making it suitable for SAR imaging. However, the high computational complexity of backprojection limits its application in real-time imaging systems.

[0003] Compared to traditional SAR systems, video synthetic aperture radar (SAR) systems typically operate at higher frequencies and have shorter synthetic apertures. Due to the occlusion effect of moving targets on the ground within a single synthetic aperture time, the moving target leaves a shadow on the SAR image reflecting its true location. Utilizing the dynamic shadows in the video SAR image sequence, moving targets can be detected and tracked. Pre-detection tracking is a detection and tracking technique for weak targets. Compared to traditional detection-before-tracking techniques, it improves detection and tracking performance by accumulating target energy across multiple frames.

[0004] In the existing video synthetic aperture radar (SAR) signal and data processing workflow, SAR imaging and target tracking are two separate steps. SAR imaging must be completed first, and then target tracking must be performed based on these multiple frames. This independent processing method results in a waste of time resources.

[0005] In their paper "Processing video-SAR data with the fastbackprojection method," X. Song et al. proposed a video synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging processing workflow. This workflow employs a fast backprojection algorithm for efficient imaging and divides the imaging scene into ordinary regions and regions of interest (ROIs). While maintaining full resolution in the ROIs, the resolution of the ordinary regions is reduced to decrease computational complexity, further improving imaging efficiency. However, this workflow requires manual annotation of the ROIs, resulting in low automation. Furthermore, the ROIs in this method are for stationary targets, making it impractical for applications involving focused observation of moving targets.

[0006] In their paper "Simultaneous Detection and Tracking of Moving-Target Shadows in ViSAR Imagery," X. Tian et al. proposed a video synthetic aperture radar (VSAR) moving target tracking method based on pre-detection tracking technology. This method accumulates shadow energy by combining multiple frames of images to achieve robust tracking of moving targets. However, the tracking and imaging processes in this method are independent, and the tracking process cannot provide prior information to the imaging process to improve the overall efficiency of target detection. When using time-domain algorithms for SAR imaging, there are problems with high computational load and difficulty in real-time processing. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing an integrated video synthetic aperture radar (SSAR) imaging and tracking method.

[0014] (5) Based on the total set of target states Ω, set the region of interest for imaging Ε;

[0015] (6) On the second high-resolution image I2, the target is accumulated using a value function and updated using a backtracking function;

[0016] (7) Generate SAR images from the third to the Nth frame based on the imaging region of interest E, and accumulate the target's value function and update the backtracking function:

[0017] (7a) Suppose that the current processing segment of synthetic aperture data is the m-th segment, 3≤m≤N. Back-project the m-th segment of synthetic aperture data onto the imaging region of interest E to obtain the m-th frame image I. m ;

[0018] (7b) In image I m Above, accumulate the target's value function and update the backtracking function;

[0020] (8) Perform target trajectory retracing:

[0021] (8a) Set the value function threshold to T N ;

[0022] (8b) Suppose that the current target being processed is the i-th target, and the maximum value V of the value function of the i-th target in the N-th frame image is... N With T N Comparison: If V N >T N If the target exists, the optimal state of the i-th target in each frame is extracted according to the backtracking function to obtain the trajectory of the i-th target; otherwise, the target does not exist.

[0023] (8c) Repeat step (8b) until all targets in the initial state set C are traversed, and target track backtracking is completed to achieve target tracking.

[0025] 1) This invention integrates the imaging and tracking processes, enabling simultaneous imaging and moving target tracking of video synthetic aperture radar.

[0026] 2) By performing inter-frame state transitions on targets in the initial state set and using the obtained target state candidate regions as prior information to guide the SAR imaging process, this invention can not only achieve high frame rate imaging of local regions of interest, but also reduce the total computational load of the video synthetic aperture radar target detection process.

[0027] 3) This invention improves the automation of the imaging and tracking process by extracting the coordinate parameters of each state in the total set of states to achieve automatic selection of the region of interest during the tracking process. Attached Figure Description
