Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of radar imaging, and is a SAR imaging cognitive motion compensation system. Background Art

[0002] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the characteristics of all-day, all-weather and high-resolution imaging. With the development of SAR imaging technology, missile-borne SAR, which combines SAR with missile scene matching and positioning, has become a research hotspot in recent years.

[0003] The probability of a missile detecting and recognizing a target is closely related to the focusing effect of the SAR image. Since it is difficult for a missile to maintain uniformly accelerated linear motion during flight, its maneuverability in flight can cause envelope and phase distortion in the echo signal, affecting the precise focusing of the radar image. Therefore, it is necessary to extract high-precision missile motion parameters for motion error compensation.

[0004] The missile's flight path will pass through a variety of terrain, but existing compensation methods are usually only applicable to a single terrain or a single flight state (such as constant-speed flight). Therefore, they cannot meet the missile's requirements for SAR imaging motion compensation under large maneuvering conditions and large dynamic scenes. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Furthermore, the predicted entropy value includes an MD entropy value and a contrast entropy value.

[0020] Furthermore, the MD entropy value of the image is determined by a contrast strong point, and the data processing module is used to determine first target azimuth data based on the position information of the strong point; perform azimuth compression on the first target azimuth data to obtain first compressed azimuth data; divide the first compressed azimuth data into two parts based on the number of matrix elements of the sub-aperture data in the azimuth direction; determine the translation amount of the two parts of data based on Fourier transform, normalization and cross-correlation; determine the MD modulation frequency based on the translation amount; determine the MD filter coefficient based on the MD modulation frequency; and perform azimuth compression on the first target azimuth data based on the MD filter coefficient;

[0024] Furthermore, the data processing module is configured to determine the sum of the MD frequency modulation rate and the contrast frequency modulation rate as the frequency modulation rate when the number of the contrast strong points is greater than a first threshold and the contrast entropy value is less than the current entropy value.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0033] Figure 3 This is a flowchart of the signal processor provided in an embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The preferred embodiments of the present application are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein the accompanying drawings constitute a part of the present application and are used together with the embodiments of the present application to illustrate the principles of the present application, and are not used to limit the scope of the present application.

[0035] High-maneuverability guided missiles cannot maintain a constant speed during flight, so the missile needs to perform motion compensation on the captured images.

[0036] The flight paths of guided missiles in highly dynamic scenarios often need to be temporarily set or even constantly changed. Therefore, the scene being filmed cannot be predicted in advance, and is therefore dynamic. In contrast, other aircraft, such as airplanes, have stable flight paths, making their scenes predictable. Therefore, missiles face more complex scenes than other aircraft. Complex scenes make it difficult to ensure effective motion compensation. For example, when passing through cities and villages, the difference between images captured between adjacent capture cycles is often significant, facilitating motion compensation. However, in scenes such as deserts, grasslands, and Gobi deserts, the difference between images captured between adjacent capture cycles is often less pronounced, making motion compensation less effective.

[0037] Furthermore, missiles are less easily steered than other aircraft, making them more susceptible to deviation. To compensate for this drawback, missiles require rapid, accurate positioning during flight. For example, aircraft can manually steer their trajectory, allowing them to transmit image data to a server for high-quality image processing. This process takes time, which can be sufficient to cause irreversible deviations in the missile's trajectory, leading to unpredictable outcomes. Therefore, missiles place high demands on the timeliness of motion compensation.

[0038] In summary, when performing motion compensation on missile SAR imaging, it is necessary to consider the shooting scene and the timeliness of the information.

[0039] The key to SAR imaging is the selection of strong points in the scene. Strong points are the objects being photographed. Based on the principles of SAR imaging, strong points usually have at least one of the following characteristics:

[0040] 1. In the shooting scene, the distance between the subject and other objects makes the subject easy to identify, such as individual plants, animals and rocks in the desert or Gobi, or sculptures in the square in the city.

[0041] 2. The shape, appearance, or other attributes of the subject in the scene create a sharp contrast with its surroundings. For example, the color and length of an airport runway contrast sharply with the surrounding environment, or the length of a river contrasts sharply with the objects on both sides.

[0042] Different shooting scenes contain different numbers, locations, and characteristics of strong points, all of which affect the effectiveness of motion compensation. Existing compensation methods are typically only applicable to a single terrain or a single flight state (such as constant speed flight), and therefore are not well suited for missile motion compensation.

[0043] Based on the above theoretical and technical issues, the present application provides a SAR imaging cognitive motion compensation system, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: a circulator 101, a receiver 102, a transmitter 103, a radar array 104 and a signal processor 105;

[0045] The receiver 102 receives the echo signal of the radar signal through the radar array 104 and sends the echo signal to the signal processor 105;

[0046] The circulator 101 is used to isolate the signal transmission channel of the transmitter 103 and the signal receiving channel of the receiver 102;

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the signal processor 105 includes: an acquisition module 201, a data processing module 202 and a motion compensation module 203;

[0077] Specifically, 1) according to the position information Index_MD and Index_DB of the strong point, determine the first target direction data x(t m ) is multiplied by the azimuth matching filter coefficient to achieve azimuth compression and obtain the first compressed azimuth data y(tm ):

[0078]

[0080] 3) For y1(t m ) and y2(t m ) are Fourier transformed to the azimuth frequency domain y1(f m ) and y2(f m );

[0081] 4) For y1(f m ) and y2(f m ) Perform normalization processing and modulus value;

[0082] 5) Use the correlation function to find y1(f m ) and y2(f m ) translation,

[0084] 6) Using Δn a The estimated MD modulation frequency is calculated. The corresponding MD filter coefficient is Where PRF is the repetition frequency of SAR.

[0086] 8) Calculate the MD entropy value S_md based on the compressed first target azimuth data.

[0087] The method for determining the contrast entropy value includes:

[0088] According to the position information of the contrast strong point, the second target azimuth data is determined; the second target azimuth data is azimuthally compressed to obtain second compressed azimuth data; according to the MD modulation frequency and the preset step size, a modulation frequency search sequence is determined; a filter function is constructed with the modulation frequency search sequence as an independent variable set; the second compressed azimuth data is filtered according to the filter function; the amplitude mean and amplitude variance of the filtered second compressed azimuth data are determined; according to the amplitude mean and amplitude variance of the filtered second compressed azimuth data, the contrast corresponding to each modulation frequency in the modulation frequency search sequence is determined; the modulation frequency corresponding to the maximum contrast is determined as the contrast modulation frequency; according to the contrast modulation frequency, a contrast filter coefficient is determined; based on the contrast filter coefficient, the second target azimuth data is azimuthally compressed; and a contrast entropy value is obtained according to the compressed azimuth data.

[0089] Specifically,

[0096] Step 4: Determine the modulation rate for motion compensation based on the number of strong points, the predicted entropy value, and the current entropy value.

[0097] In an embodiment of the present application, a method for determining a modulation rate for motion compensation includes:

[0098] When the number of contrast-strong points is greater than the first threshold and the contrast entropy is less than the current entropy, the modulation rate is the sum of the MD modulation rate and the contrast modulation rate;

[0099] When the distance to the strong point is greater than the second threshold, the number of contrast strong points is less than the first threshold, and the MD entropy value is less than the current entropy value, the modulation frequency is the MD modulation frequency;

[0100] In other cases, the inertial navigation data is used to determine the modulation rate.

[0101] The first threshold is the frequency modulation threshold estimated by the MD method, and the second threshold is the frequency modulation threshold estimated by the contrast method.

[0102] Use inertial navigation data to determine the modulation rate, specifically:

[0103]

[0104] ΔK a is the frequency modulation, a r_i is the inertial navigation acceleration during the echo collection process corresponding to each sub-aperture data, and λ is the signal wavelength.

[0105] Step 5: Perform motion compensation using the determined modulation rate.

[0106] In the embodiment of the present application, after the modulation rate is determined, motion compensation can be implemented using technical means available to those skilled in the art.

[0107] In the embodiment of the present application, the influence of the current shooting scene on motion compensation is evaluated based on the strong points and image entropy, and the influence is divided into three cases according to the evaluation results.

[0108] In the first case, there are enough points with strong contrast. During motion compensation, the points with strong contrast can also be used as distance strong points. In this case, the sum of the MD modulation frequency and the contrast modulation frequency is taken as the modulation frequency.

[0109] In the second case, the number of strong contrast points is insufficient, but the number of strong distance points is sufficient. Due to the insufficient number of strong contrast points, the obtained contrast modulation frequency may have a large error, so only the MD modulation frequency is used as the modulation frequency.

[0110] In the third case, the number of strong contrast points and the number of strong range points in other scenarios are insufficient, and there are huge errors in the MD modulation frequency and the contrast modulation frequency. In this case, the inertial navigation data is used to determine the modulation frequency.

[0111] Through the above method, the missile can distinguish the shooting scenes without relying on external forces (such as servers) and select the corresponding frequency modulation for motion compensation, taking into account the timeliness of the data and performing motion compensation more accurately.

[0112] The above is only a preferred specific implementation method of the present application, but the scope of protection of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or replacements that can be easily thought of by any technician familiar with this technical field within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be covered by the scope of protection of the present application.
