Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar technology, specifically relating to a method and apparatus for detecting external radiation source radar targets based on an improved ResNet network. Background Technology

[0002] External radiation source radar is a bistatic radar system that uses non-cooperative signals to detect targets. It has significant advantages in anti-jamming, anti-stealth target, anti-anti-radiation missile, and anti-low-altitude penetration. Furthermore, it plays a crucial role in the detection and classification of high-speed maneuvering targets and UAV targets in scenarios such as key area air defense and airport surveillance. Therefore, research on the detection of high and low altitude targets using external radiation source radar is of significant research importance.

[0003] With the gradual opening of low-altitude airspace, the frequent activity of "low, slow, and small" targets such as drones has brought a series of challenges to low-altitude airspace management. External radiation source radar relies on signals from third-party radiation sources, such as digital television broadcasts, to detect these targets. By accumulating and processing these signals over a long period, external radiation source radar can accurately distinguish target speeds, which is beneficial for detecting "low, slow, and small" targets. Because "low, slow, and small" targets are characterized by low flight altitude, slow speed, and small cross-sectional area, the target echo energy of external radiation source radar is low. Furthermore, the complexity of the urban low-altitude detection environment and the presence of a large amount of multipath clutter can easily cause the target echo to be submerged in clutter. Traditional detection methods for external radiation source radar use adaptive filters to suppress a large amount of clutter and treat the residual clutter and noise across the entire range Doppler spectrum as an independent and identically distributed Gaussian distribution model, employing square-law detection combined with various CFAR processing methods to detect targets. However, when suppressing clutter, traditional adaptive filters also filter out slower-moving targets, making them undetectable.

[0004] In recent years, deep learning technology, with neural networks at its core, has achieved revolutionary progress in perception fields such as computer vision. Deep neural networks, by establishing multi-layered representation structures ranging from simple to complex and performing intricate nonlinear processing on training data, enable the network to automatically identify and learn implicit features in the data, achieving a mapping from input to target. In the field of radar target detection and recognition, deep neural networks can automatically extract key features from the data. By constructing an end-to-end network model, it not only improves processing efficiency but also significantly enhances the accuracy of target detection and recognition compared to traditional methods. Therefore, researching deep learning-based methods for detecting "low, slow, and small" targets in external radiation source radar is of great significance.

[0005] Su Ningyuan et al. applied convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to the detection of micro-Doppler signals of maritime targets and intelligent detection of maritime targets by radar in their paper "A Method for Detection and Classification of Maritime Micro-Moving Targets Based on Convolutional Neural Networks [J]. Journal of Radar, 2018, 7(5): 565–574". Gao Xuanhao proposed a target detection algorithm based on residual networks in his paper "Research on Coherent Accumulation Algorithm for Radar Signals of Weak Maneuvering Targets [D]. Information Engineering University of Strategic Support Force, 2023". Most of the above target detection methods are applied to active radars and cannot solve the problem of detecting "low, slow and small" targets of external radiation source radars. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the existing technology, this invention provides a method and apparatus for detecting external radiation source radar targets based on an improved ResNet network.

Because this invention uses a network model based on an improved ResNet, which incorporates a multi-head attention mechanism, it solves the problems of traditional external radiation source radar target detection methods, such as difficulty in detecting "low, slow, and small" targets and the need for in-depth statistical analysis of clutter environments. This effectively improves the accuracy of target detection under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions and enhances the robustness and real-time performance of external radiation source radar target detection.

The feature information is then input into a fully connected layer for classification to obtain the signal category to which the current radar signal belongs.

[0026] This invention provides a method for detecting external radiation source radar targets based on an improved ResNet network. The method involves acquiring the current radar signal from the radar system as the signal to be detected; normalizing the signal to be detected to obtain a normalized signal; and inputting the normalized signal into a trained network model for external radiation source radar target detection based on an improved ResNet network to obtain the signal category to which the current radar signal belongs. Because this invention uses a network model based on an improved ResNet, which incorporates a multi-head attention mechanism, it solves the problems of traditional external radiation source radar target detection methods, such as difficulty in detecting "low, slow, and small" targets and the need for in-depth statistical analysis of clutter environments. This effectively improves the accuracy of target detection under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions and enhances the robustness and real-time performance of external radiation source radar target detection.

[0027] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the network model for detecting external radiation source radar targets based on the improved ResNet network is trained using a training sample set and then tested using a test sample set.

[0028] The training sample set and the test sample set are constructed by building an external radiation source radar system model, a target echo model, and a clutter model, and using the external radiation source radar system model, target echo model, and clutter model to receive target echo signals and clutter signals; the target echo signals and clutter signals are preprocessed, and the preprocessed target echo signals and clutter signals are divided into a training sample set and a test sample set.

[0029] The external radiation source radar system model of this invention includes a transmitting station, a target, and a receiving station, and its geometric model schematic diagram is attached. Figure 2 As shown.

[0030] The constructed external radiation source radar system model includes a transmitting station, a target, and a receiving station. Under the target echo model, the reference signal received by the reference channel and the echo signal received by the echo channel are respectively represented as follows:

[0031] S ref_t (t)=As(t)+n ref_t (t);

[0032]

[0033] Where s(t) is the received direct wave signal, and A represents the amplitude of the direct wave signal; B n N represents the amplitude of the target signal in the echo channel. n f is the number of targets. d n represents the Doppler frequency shift of the target. ref_t and n echo_t Indicates noise;

[0034] Under the aforementioned clutter model, the reference signal received by the reference channel and the echo signal received by the echo channel are respectively expressed as:

[0035] S ref_n (t)=As(t)+n ref_n (t);

[0036] S echo_n (t)=n echo_n (t);

[0037] Where s(t) is the received direct wave signal, and A represents the amplitude of the direct wave signal; n ref_n and n echo_n Indicates noise.

[0038] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the step of preprocessing the target echo signal and clutter signal, and dividing the preprocessed target echo signal and clutter signal into a training sample set and a test sample set includes:

[0039] Sub-step 2a involves performing a Fourier transform on the target echo model to obtain the target echo signal. The Fourier transform process is expressed as follows:

[0040] S r_ti =[FFT(S) ref_ti (n))] i=0,…,M-1;

[0041] S e_ti =[FFT(S) echo_ti (n))] i=0,…,M-1;

[0042] Sub-step 2b involves performing a Fourier transform on the clutter model to obtain the clutter signal; the Fourier transform process is expressed as follows:

[0043] S r_ni =[FFT(S) ref_ni (n))] i=0,…,M-1

[0044] S e_ni =[FFT(S) echo_ni (n))] i=0,…,M-1

[0045] Sub-step 2c involves preprocessing the target echo signal and the clutter signal to obtain a preprocessing result;

[0046] Sub-step 2d: Based on the preprocessing results, use MATLAB simulation to generate M and N sets of data samples. The data sample sets include H0 samples and H1 samples. H0 samples indicate that the echo channel contains only clutter, and H1 samples indicate that the echo channel contains both clutter and the target signal. H0 samples and H1 samples each account for half of the group.

[0047] It is worth noting that: the simulation generates M training set samples, where H0 samples (echo channel contains only clutter) and H1 samples (echo channel contains both clutter and target signal) each account for M / 2; in H0 and H1 samples, the direct wave to noise power ratio JNR in the specified reference channel ∈ {a1,a2,a3} dB, and the echo signal to noise power ratio SNR in the echo channel ∈ [-p,0] dB, where M≥10000, a1,a2,a3≥0, p≥0, and the number of samples corresponding to each SNR and JNR value. The number of samples is randomized. The simulation generates N test set samples, where H0 samples (echo channel contains only clutter) and H1 samples (echo channel contains both clutter and target signal) each account for N / 2. In H0 and H1 samples, the direct wave to noise power ratio JNR ∈ {b1,b2,b3} dB in the specified reference channel, and the echo signal to noise power ratio SNR ∈ [-q,0] dB in the echo channel, where N ≥ 1000, b1,b2,b3 ≥ 0, q ≥ 0, and the number of samples corresponding to each SNR and JNR value is randomized. Each signal has a length L, with its real and imaginary parts being data from the I and Q channels, respectively. The I / Q channels are used as the input channel dimensions of the dataset. L ≥ 20000. In this embodiment, M = 18000, a1 = 25, a1 = 30, a1 = 35, p = 20; N = 3000, b1 = 25, b2 = 30, b3 = 35, q = 20, L = 40000.

[0048] Sub-step 2e generates corresponding labels for samples H0 and H1, where the label y = 0 for sample H0 and the label y = 1 for sample H1.

[0049] refer to Figure 3 The network model for detecting external radiation source radar targets based on the improved ResNet network includes a backbone network, which is composed of a residual convolutional network ResNet34. A convolutional module is added before the residual convolutional network ResNet34 for preliminary feature extraction, and a multi-head attention module is added after the residual convolutional network ResNet34. The output of the multi-head attention module is connected to a fully connected layer.

[0050] refer to Figure 3 The convolutional module includes a convolutional layer, a ReLU activation layer, a batch normalization layer, and a max pooling layer. The internal connection relationship of the convolutional module is: convolutional layer → batch normalization layer → ReLU activation layer → max pooling layer. The number of convolutional kernels in the convolutional layer is 64, the kernel size is 3, and the stride is 2. The size of the max pooling layer is 2, and the sliding stride is 2.

[0051] The ResNet34 neural network is a deep convolutional neural network containing four residual blocks. The internal connection relationships of the ResNet34 neural network are as follows: the first residual block outputs 64 channels, repeated 3 times; the second residual block outputs 128 channels, repeated 4 times; the third residual block outputs 256 channels, repeated 6 times; and the fourth residual block outputs 512 channels, repeated 3 times. The internal connection relationship of each residual block is: convolutional layer → batch normalization layer → ReLU activation layer → Dropout layer → convolutional layer → batch normalization layer. The convolutional layer in each residual block has a kernel size of 3, a stride of 2, a max pooling layer size of 2, and a sliding stride of 2.

[0052] Multi-head attention involves establishing different projection information in multiple different projection spaces. The input matrix is ​​projected into various ways to obtain many output matrices, which are then concatenated together. Figure 3 As can be seen, Q, K, and V are fixed single values, while the Linear layer has three, and the Scaled Dot-Product Attention layer has three, i.e., three multi-head attention mechanisms. These are then concatenated, and the Linear layer transforms them into a single output value identical to that of a single-head attention mechanism. Multi-head attention is a mechanism that captures the relationships between different features by extracting more important feature information through weighted calculations of different feature vectors. Specifically, the multi-head self-attention layer has six heads, and the query matrix Q, key matrix K, and value matrix V in the multi-head self-attention layer all have a dimension of 70.

[0053] A fully connected layer is set at the output of the multi-head attention module to classify the feature vectors obtained after feature extraction.

[0054] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the training process of the network model for detecting external radiation source radar targets based on the improved ResNet network is as follows:

[0055] Sub-step 4a: Initialize the network model A for external radiation source radar target detection based on the improved ResNet network with parameters of normally distributed random numbers. t Set the maximum number of iterations T≥200, initialize the number of iterations t=1, and let A=A t ;

[0056] Sub-step 4b: Normalize each training sample in the training sample set;

[0057] Sub-step 4c: The normalized training samples are used as input to the external radiation source radar target detection network based on the improved ResNet network;

[0058] Sub-step 4d involves using a convolution module to perform preliminary feature extraction on the input multi-channel training samples;

[0059] Sub-step 4e inputs the initially extracted features into a deep residual network ResNet34. ResNet allows training very deep neural networks without being affected by vanishing or exploding gradients. Furthermore, through skip connections, even if a layer negatively impacts network performance, it can be skipped through normalization. This allows the deep residual convolutional network ResNet34 to learn deeper target echo features. The data information is obtained by learning deeper target echo features through four residual blocks in the deep residual convolutional network ResNet34.

[0060] The residual block includes a residual portion and a direct mapping portion, expressed by the formula:

[0061]

[0062] Where h(x) i ) represents a direct mapping, w i Let x be the weight matrix. i and y i Let F(·) and f(·) represent the input and output, respectively, and let F(·) and f(·) represent the residual function and ReLU activation function, respectively.

[0063] Sub-step 4f involves feeding the data information from the deep residual network ResNet34 into the multi-head attention machine module, and then using the multi-head attention module to correlate the data information with the weight matrix W. Q W K W VMultiplying these values ​​yields the projections of the data information into three spaces, denoted as Q, K, and V. Passing Q, K, and V through different linear layers yields mappings Q to different subspaces. i ,K i V i For each group Q i ,K i V i Perform attention operations separately to obtain the output Z for each group. i The outputs of all Attention functions are concatenated together and subjected to a linear transformation to obtain the final output Z. The specific calculation expression of the multi-head attention module is as follows:

[0064]

[0065] Z = Concat(Z1, ..., Z) h V i ;

[0066] Where h is the number of attention heads.

[0067] Multi-head attention mechanisms allow each head to focus on different parts of the input, thereby capturing more complex feature dimensional relationships and obtaining more accurate classification results.

[0068] Sub-step 4g involves extracting the feature vector from the multi-head attention module. The input is processed through a fully connected layer for object detection, resulting in predicted labels.

[0069] Sub-step 4h involves calculating the loss function for the current iteration number based on the predicted labels and their corresponding true labels, and then applying the stochastic gradient descent algorithm to the network model A for external radiation source radar target detection based on the improved ResNet network. t The parameters are updated to obtain the updated network A′ for external radiation source radar target detection based on the improved ResNet network; the cross-entropy loss function is used, and A′ is calculated by using the predicted labels and their corresponding ground truth labels. t Loss value L loss Then, the backpropagation algorithm is used, and through L... loss For A t The parameters are updated; among them, the loss value L... loss The calculation formula is:

[0070]

[0071] Among them, y iq The indicator variable y represents the value of the i-th sample if the predicted label matches the true label. iq The value is 1 otherwise the value is 0. iq∑ represents the predicted probability that the i-th sample belongs to the q-th class, and ∑ represents the summation operation.

[0072] Sub-step 4i: Determine whether t = T is true. If yes, obtain the trained convolutional neural network A′. Otherwise, let t = t + 1 and execute sub-step 4a.

[0073] This invention uses a trained, improved ResNet network to identify targets for each sample in the test set and output the corresponding category. Specifically, the normalized test set is used as the network input for target detection of external radiation source radar based on the trained, improved ResNet network to obtain the corresponding category.

[0074] Secondly, the present invention provides an external radiation source radar target detection device based on an improved ResNet network, comprising:

[0075] The acquisition module is configured to acquire the current radar signal from the radar system and use the current radar signal as the signal to be detected.

[0076] The processing module is configured to perform normalization processing on the signal to be detected to obtain a normalized signal;

[0077] The identification module is configured to input the normalized signal into a trained network model for detecting external radiation source radar targets based on an improved ResNet network, so that the convolutional module in the network model performs preliminary feature extraction on the normalized signal, inputs the extracted preliminary features into a residual convolutional network for residual calculation, and uses a multi-head attention module to capture the interrelationships between different preliminary features and uses the interrelationships to perform weighted calculations on different preliminary features to extract important feature information. The feature information is then input into a fully connected layer for classification to obtain the signal category to which the current radar signal belongs.

[0078] This invention provides an external radiation source radar target detection device based on an improved ResNet network. The device acquires the current radar signal from the radar system as the signal to be detected; normalizes the signal to be detected to obtain a normalized signal; and inputs the normalized signal into a trained network model for external radiation source radar target detection based on an improved ResNet network to obtain the signal category to which the current radar signal belongs. Because this invention uses a network model based on an improved ResNet, which incorporates a multi-head attention mechanism, it solves the problems of traditional external radiation source radar target detection methods, such as difficulty in detecting "low, slow, and small" targets and the need for in-depth statistical analysis of clutter environments. This effectively improves the accuracy of target detection under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions and enhances the robustness and real-time performance of external radiation source radar target detection.

[0079] The effects of this invention can be further illustrated by the following simulation experiments.
