Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging technology, and in particular to a sparse aperture precession target ISAR imaging method, apparatus, device and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging has always been a crucial tool in space target surveillance and identification. Sparse aperture precession target ISAR imaging is a pressing problem in this field, aiming to obtain clear and complete target ISAR images under low data sampling rates and complex Doppler information superposition. For space cone-shaped targets, during flight, they spin around their axis of symmetry and undergo conical rotation around their center of mass; this combined spin and conical rotation motion is called precession. Precession introduces complex Doppler information, generating micro-Doppler interference in the image, posing challenges and difficulties for ISAR imaging. Furthermore, in real-world scenarios, the radar echo received is often incomplete due to switching between different channels and other interference factors; this incomplete echo is called a sparse aperture echo. Sparse apertures generate strong sidelobe interference in ISAR images, severely affecting image quality. Obtaining clear and complete ISAR images of precession cone-shaped targets under the combined effects of sparse aperture and precession is a significant challenge.

[0003] Existing ISAR imaging methods are mainly for imaging precessing targets under full aperture conditions. Under sparse aperture conditions, sidelobe interference and micro-Doppler interference will superimpose each other, and traditional methods will not be able to achieve good imaging of the target. Summary of the Invention

[0025] In one embodiment, when solving each of the sub-problems alternately, the final target ISAR image sequence is obtained by setting the number of iterations or the error precision.

[0026] When the number of iterations reaches a preset number or the error accuracy reaches a preset value, the ISAR image sequence obtained in that iteration is the final target ISAR image sequence.

[0052] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, a sparse aperture precession target ISAR imaging method is provided, including the following steps:

[0054] Step S100: Acquire radar echo data and convert it into a one-dimensional range profile;

[0055] Step S110: Perform translational compensation and joint time-frequency transformation on the one-dimensional range image to obtain a one-dimensional range image sequence of the precessing target;

[0056] Step S120: A tensor mathematical model is constructed based on the relationship between the one-dimensional range image sequence and the target ISAR image sequence to be solved.

[0057] Step S130: When solving the target ISAR image sequence, the tensor matrix kernel norm and l1 norm are introduced on the basis of the tensor mathematical model to constrain the low rank and sparsity of the image sequence, respectively, so as to obtain the optimized model.

[0058] Step S140: The optimization model is solved using the alternating direction multiplier method to obtain the ISAR image of the precessing target.

[0059] In this application, existing ISAR imaging methods are mainly for imaging targets under full aperture conditions. However, under sparse aperture conditions, sidelobe interference and micro-Doppler interference will superimpose, making it impossible for traditional methods to achieve good target imaging. Therefore, a sparse aperture ISAR imaging method for precessing targets is proposed, which can achieve good imaging of precessing targets under sparse aperture conditions.

[0060] Before imaging in step S120, preprocessing is required, which involves performing translational compensation and joint time-frequency transformation on the one-dimensional range image in step S110.

[0061] To address image blurring caused by time-varying Doppler frequency shift, this embodiment employs a combined time-frequency transform to effectively examine the two-dimensional ISAR image at each instant, thus eliminating Doppler blurring due to precession. The short-time Fourier transform (SFT) is a typical time-frequency transform method. As its time window shifts, it examines the frequency range of the signal and generates a two-dimensional time-frequency transform that contains information about the frequency range of the signal at different times. The specific formula is as follows:

[0062]

[0063] In formula (1), s(t) represents the input signal, which is the one-dimensional range image after translational compensation, and ω(t) represents the short-time window function.

[0064] Specifically, formula (1) is equivalent to unfolding the one-dimensional range image of the target into an image sequence along the slow time domain, where any slice along the time dimension represents the one-dimensional range image at that moment. Then, Fourier transform is performed on each frame of the one-dimensional range image along the time dimension to obtain the target ISAR image sequence.

[0065] In practical applications of ISAR imaging, taking the simultaneous imaging of multiple ballistic targets by radar as an example, the radar does not target a single target but tracks multiple targets through emitted pulse signals. This results in non-uniform observation time for individual targets within the target group. Furthermore, the influence of the radio wave propagation environment and other interference factors can also lead to missing radar echoes. Incomplete echoes are typically referred to as sparse aperture echoes. Under sparse aperture conditions, the coherence between echoes is disrupted, limiting the Fourier transform and resulting in high sidelobe and grating lobe interference in images generated by traditional methods, thus affecting the interpretation of target images. The principle of the short-time Fourier transform is equivalent to expanding a one-dimensional range image along the slow time domain into a three-dimensional tensor, i.e., an image sequence. Therefore, the target ISAR image sequence to be solved can be written in tensor form with the one-dimensional range image sequence, which is the tensor mathematical model constructed in step S120:

[0066]

[0067] In formula (2), Let A, B, C, and D represent the target ISAR image sequence, the one-dimensional range image sequence, and the noise, respectively. The operator A(·) denotes the operation of first performing a Fourier transform along the third dimension of the tensor, and then performing sparse sampling on the result.

[0068] For ISAR image sequences, since each frame along the time dimension represents the radar's observation of the same target at different times, there is a certain correlation between each frame along the time dimension. This makes the tensor... It exhibits the low-rank property of tensors. Furthermore, for each frame of an ISAR image, relative to the image background, the target mainly consists of isolated, strongly scattering points; therefore, the tensor... Each frame of an ISAR image along the time dimension has a sparse property, meaning that the entire tensor is sparse in three-dimensional space.

[0069] Therefore, when solving for ISAR images of precessing targets, tensor matrix kernel norms and l1 norms are introduced to constrain them. The tensor matrix kernel norm, composed of tensor kernel norms and matrix kernel norms, not only constrains the low rank of the spatial information of the image sequence but also fully utilizes the temporal correlation of each frame. To address the sparsity of the images, the l1 norm is introduced to constrain image sparsity, thereby improving the focusing effect of target ISAR images under sparse apertures. In summary, the following optimized model can be obtained for the radar observation model:

[0070]

[0071] In formula (3), This indicates a constraint on the error. and This indicates that the low-rank property of the image sequence is constrained by the tensor matrix nuclear norm. This indicates that the l1 norm is used to constrain the sparsity of the image sequence.

[0072] Next, in step S140, the method of alternating direction multipliers is used to solve the optimization model, which includes: introducing auxiliary variables to transform the optimization model, constructing an augmented Lagrangian function of the transformed optimization model, and converting the transformed optimization model into an iterative solution of multiple sub-problems based on the augmented Lagrangian function. In each iteration, the target ISAR image sequence is updated. Finally, by setting the number of iterations or the error precision, the final target ISAR image sequence is obtained.

[0073] Specifically, introduce auxiliary variables Formula (3) can then be transformed into:

[0074]

[0075] Based on the principle of the alternating direction multiplier method, the augmented Lagrangian function of formula (4) is first constructed. as follows:

[0076]

[0077] In formula (5), Y2 and y3 represent Lagrange multipliers, and μ1, μ2, and μ3 represent punishment factors. Therefore, formula (4) can be transformed into solving the following subproblems:

[0078]

[0079] When solving each of the subproblems alternately, the auxiliary variables, the target ISAR image sequence, and the augmented Lagrange multipliers are solved and updated sequentially.

[0080] Specifically, first update the introduced auxiliary variables:

[0081] Updating auxiliary variables When, in fixed formula (5) Substitute formula (5) into formula (6) and omit the... For irrelevant variables, we can obtain:

[0082]

[0083] Equation (7) is a minimization TNN problem, which can be solved using the TNN proximal operator, as follows:

[0084]

[0085] Update Z2, fix Z2 in formula (5), substitute formula (5) into formula (6) and omit variables unrelated to Z2, and we get:

[0086]

[0087] Equation (9) is a problem of minimizing the matrix nuclear norm, which can be solved using the singular value contraction operator, as follows:

[0088]

[0089] Update z3, fix z3 in formula (5), substitute formula (5) into formula (6) and omit variables unrelated to z3, and we get:

[0090]

[0091] Formula (11) is a problem of minimizing the l1 norm, which can be solved using the soft thresholding operator:

[0092]

[0093] Next, the target ISAR image sequence is updated based on the updated auxiliary variables and the augmented Lagrangian function:

[0094] renew Fixed formula (5) Substitute formula (5) into formula (6) and omit the... For irrelevant variables, we can obtain:

[0095]

[0096] Formula (13) is a convex smooth problem. Taking its derivative and setting its first derivative to zero, we can obtain its analytical solution as follows:

[0097]

[0098] In formula (14), And utilize the properties of Fourier transform We can obtain:

[0099]

[0100] Next, the augmented Lagrange multipliers are updated based on the updated auxiliary variables and the target ISAR image sequence:

[0101]

[0102]

[0103]

[0104] In this embodiment, the final target ISAR image sequence is obtained by setting the number of iterations or an error threshold. Specifically, when the iteration rounds or error accuracy reach a preset value, the updated target ISAR image sequence obtained in that round of iteration becomes the final target ISAR image sequence.

[0105] In this embodiment, by performing a single imaging process on the one-dimensional range image of a precessing target using this method, multiple consecutive ISAR images of the target within a time period can be obtained. The motion information of the precessing target within that time period can be obtained through this series of ISAR images.

[0106] In this embodiment, the iterative update process of this method is as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0107] In this paper, experiments were also conducted based on the proposed method to verify its effectiveness.

[0108] like Figure 3As shown, a one-dimensional range profile and ISAR image of a cone target with a 50% sparsity are provided. From Figure 4 As can be seen, under the combined effects of precession and sparse aperture, the range-instantaneous-Doppler method can no longer obtain a clear target ISAR image; while the image obtained by this method has higher clarity, and micro-motion interference and sidelobe interference have been effectively removed, and the target outline is displayed more completely in the ISAR image.

[0109] like Figure 4 As shown, a one-dimensional range profile and ISAR image of a cone target with a 25% sparsity are provided. From Figure 5 As can be seen, as the sparsity decreases, the target ISAR image obtained by the range-instantaneous-Doppler method becomes more severely defocused; while the present method can still achieve good focusing on the target and obtain a clear target ISAR image, which further verifies the effectiveness of the present method.

[0110] In summary, this invention can effectively eliminate side lobes, grating lobes, and micro-Doppler interference caused by precessing targets under sparse apertures, and obtain high-resolution ISAR images of the targets. It remains effective even at low sparsity rates and has high engineering application value.

[0111] In the aforementioned sparse aperture ISAR imaging method for precessing targets, time-frequency transformation and tensor feature models are used to fully constrain the one-dimensional range profile of the precessing target, resulting in a three-dimensional ISAR image sequence. The tensor matrix kernel norm is employed to fully exploit the correlation between image frames and the spatial structure information of a single frame. The l1 norm is used to constrain the sparsity of the image, further improving the ISAR image quality of precessing targets under sparse aperture conditions. This method can generate precessing target ISAR images in batches under sparse aperture conditions and improve the resolution of precessing target ISAR images.

[0112] It should be understood that, although Figure 1 The steps in the flowchart are shown sequentially as indicated by the arrows, but these steps are not necessarily executed in the order indicated by the arrows. Unless otherwise specified herein, there is no strict order in which these steps are executed, and they can be performed in other orders.

The execution order of these sub-steps or stages is not necessarily sequential, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least some of the sub-steps or stages of other steps.

[0114] The one-dimensional range image acquisition module 200 is used to acquire radar echo data and convert it into a one-dimensional range image; the one-dimensional range image sequence preprocessing module 210 is used to perform translational compensation and joint time-frequency transformation on the one-dimensional range image to obtain the one-dimensional range image sequence of the precessing target.
