Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method, device, and storage medium for detecting hovering small unmanned aerial vehicles using continuous wave radar, belonging to the field of continuous wave radar target detection technology. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing popularity of commercial drones, drones are being used more and more widely in military and civilian fields, which also brings potential security threats.
[0003] Due to their small radar cross-section (RCS) and low flight altitude, small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are easily obscured by ground clutter, especially hovering UAVs, where the Doppler characteristics are not obvious. This poses a challenge to radar detection of UAVs and has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved. Through feature modeling and analysis of low-speed small UAVs, it is found that the rotors of UAVs exhibit micro-Doppler characteristics when hovering.
[0004] To address the issue of weak effective detection feature energy in echoes, conventional filtering and noise cancellation methods exist. However, when these methods are applied to hovering UAV detection, aliasing still occurs in the range gate echo spectrum of the micro-Doppler feature echoes.
[0005] Therefore, in order to avoid the influence of clutter and target mixing on the detection results, there is an urgent need for a continuous wave radar hovering small UAV detection method, device, and storage medium. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a continuous wave radar method, device, and storage medium for detecting hovering small unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). By obtaining the clutter time-frequency signal and target time-frequency signal of the detection area through short-time Fourier transform, a three-dimensional time-frequency matrix is constructed to estimate the micro-Doppler frequency of the UAV rotor. This can solve the problem of range gate aliasing in the echo spectrum, while reducing the influence of noise. A method for determining the presence of hovering UAVs is also provided, achieving effective detection of hovering UAVs.

It should be understood that the embodiments and specific features in the embodiments are detailed descriptions of the technical solution of the present application, rather than limitations thereof. In the absence of conflict, the embodiments and technical features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

Figure 1 The method implemented in this way specifically includes the following steps:
[0058] Two sets of channels are set up to collect echo signals from the continuous wave radar: one is a reference channel, and the other is a receiving channel. The data collected by the reference channel is the echo signal when there is no target, and the data collected by the receiving channel is the echo signal when it is necessary to detect whether there is a target.

[0063] in, This represents a fast-time variable.
[0064] An improved Kalmas filter is used to suppress ground clutter in the acquired echo signal. The frequency response of this filter rises rapidly at the zero Doppler frequency to ensure the detection capability of micro-Doppler targets. At the same time, it has a similar frequency response to the low-pass filter at the high Doppler frequency, which can suppress high-frequency clutter. In addition, by windowing the signal (Hamming window, etc.), the filter can be made to have a gain for micro-Doppler signals.

The data acquired by the reference channel and the receiving channel are processed by the Kalmas filter and then time-domain cancellation is performed. After filtering out zero-frequency and high-frequency clutter, clutter at the micro-Doppler frequency is also suppressed, thus improving the signal-to-noise ratio.
[0071] Based on the obtained clutter time-domain signal and target echo time-domain signal, adaptive constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection is performed to obtain the target time-domain characteristic map.

[0088] In some embodiments, the adaptive constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection includes the following steps:
[0089] The clutter time-frequency characteristics near each unit The average amplitude of the signals from each detection unit is set as a threshold. During this process, the detection threshold for each Doppler unit signal is determined by analyzing the clutter time-frequency characteristics near each corresponding Doppler unit. The average signal amplitude of each detection unit is used;
[0090] (11)
[0091] Compare the signal amplitude of each cell in the target time-frequency characteristics with the threshold value obtained in that cell;
[0092] If the signal amplitude is greater than the threshold, the signal amplitude of the unit remains unchanged; if the signal amplitude is less than the threshold, the signal amplitude of the unit is set to 0.
[0093] After processing, the target time-domain characteristic map is obtained again;
