Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar technology, specifically relating to a terahertz SAR compensation method. Background Technology

[0002] Terahertz SAR, with its short wavelength and large signal bandwidth, can achieve higher imaging resolution and better imaging detail, making it a research hotspot. However, due to the short wavelength of terahertz SAR, even small platform vibration errors can cause severe defocusing along the azimuth direction, necessitating compensation to obtain clear, focused imaging results. Platform vibration error compensation requires establishing a suitable and accurate model to describe it. Typically, platform vibration is described as a superposition of multiple simple harmonic vibrations. However, real-world platform vibrations are more complex, potentially exhibiting amplitude variations over time. Simple harmonic vibrations alone cannot accurately describe complex platform vibrations, which are multi-component platform vibrations with time-varying amplitudes. Furthermore, complex platform vibrations are difficult to compensate for and can lead to severe defocusing in terahertz SAR imaging results. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that existing vibration models cannot accurately describe the vibration of complex platforms and that the vibration of complex platforms is difficult to compensate, resulting in poor focusing of the obtained terahertz SAR imaging results. Therefore, this invention proposes a terahertz SAR compensation method based on the LM algorithm under the vibration of complex platforms.

[0004] The specific process of the terahertz SAR compensation method based on the LM algorithm under complex platform vibration is as follows:

[0005] Step 1: Establish a multi-component platform vibration model with time-varying amplitude;

[0006] Represented as;

[0007]

[0008] Where ΔR(m) represents the platform vibration, a j (m) represents the time-varying amplitude of the platform vibration, where m is the discrete slow time, m = 0, 1, ..., M-1, and M is the number of discrete slow times. j The vibration frequency of the platform. Let J be the phase of the platform vibration, j be the j-th platform vibration component, and J be the total number of platform vibration components.

[0009] Step 2: Based on the multi-component platform vibration model with time-varying amplitude from Step 1, the terahertz SAR echo signal s(m,n) of the multi-component platform vibration with time-varying amplitude is obtained.

[0010] Step 3: Process the terahertz SAR echo signal s(m,n) from Step 2 to obtain the SAR imaging result, and calculate the Tsallis entropy of the SAR imaging result;

[0011] Step 4: Construct a compensation function to compensate for platform vibration and obtain the compensated SAR image;

[0012] Calculate the Tsallis entropy of the compensated SAR image, and use the LM algorithm to find the compensation function that minimizes the Tsallis entropy of the compensated SAR image.

[0013] Step 5: Compensate for platform vibration based on the compensation function that minimizes the Tsallis entropy of the compensated SAR image to obtain the final focused SAR imaging result.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0015] Based on the analysis of complex platform vibration, this invention establishes a multi-component platform vibration model with time-varying amplitude and studies the corresponding platform vibration compensation algorithm. This model can more accurately describe the complex and variable platform vibration in real-world scenarios. The purpose of platform vibration compensation is to obtain imaging results with good image quality. Tsallis entropy is introduced to evaluate the image focusing effect. As the Tsallis entropy is minimized, the SAR image quality reaches its best. Simultaneously, the problem of minimizing Tsallis entropy is transformed into a problem of solving a system of nonlinear equations. Tsallis entropy is an extended form of Shannon entropy and is a commonly used indicator to describe SAR image quality. When the Tsallis entropy is minimized, a well-focused imaging result can be considered obtained. Furthermore, in the aforementioned problem of solving the nonlinear equations based on Tsallis entropy, how to solve the complex higher-order derivatives of the Tsallis entropy of the SAR image and obtain the actual platform vibration error through fast and accurate iterative solutions is also a key research focus. To address the aforementioned problems, this invention introduces the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm to solve the nonlinear equations. The LM algorithm can be viewed as an optimization method combining the ideas of gradient descent and the Gauss-Newton method. By dynamically adjusting the step size to balance the advantages of both methods, the LM algorithm can quickly and accurately construct the platform vibration compensation function. Finally, the constructed compensation function is used to compensate for the platform vibration, resulting in clear and focused SAR imaging results. Attached Figure Description

[0121] Example 1:

[0122] In this implementation example, a terahertz SAR simulation system with a carrier frequency of 220 GHz and a bandwidth of 3 GHz is first constructed under a signal-to-noise ratio of 10 dB. Simultaneously, a multi-component platform vibration with time-varying amplitude is established, and a terahertz SAR echo signal is constructed based on this. After range compression and range migration correction processing, a Fourier transform is performed along the azimuth direction to obtain a defocused SAR echo image, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown. It can be seen that, Figure 2 The SAR image in the image is severely defocused along the azimuth direction, caused by complex time-varying amplitude multi-component platform vibration. To suppress azimuth defocus and obtain a focused terahertz SAR image, platform vibration compensation is necessary. Therefore, we use the LM-based terahertz SAR compensation algorithm proposed in this invention to compensate for terahertz platform vibration. Through iteration, the final compensation function can be obtained to compensate for platform vibration and obtain a focused SAR image, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown in the figure, after processing by the terahertz SAR compensation algorithm based on the LM algorithm proposed in this invention, the platform vibration is well compensated, and the image is focused. Furthermore, the Tsallis entropy of the SAR images obtained before and after platform vibration compensation under 10dB conditions is shown in Table 1. It can be seen that the reduction in Tsallis entropy further proves the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed in this invention.

[0125] Example 2

[0126] In this implementation example, a terahertz SAR simulation system with a carrier frequency of 220 GHz and a bandwidth of 3 GHz is constructed under a signal-to-noise ratio of -10 dB. A multi-component platform vibration with time-varying amplitude is established, and a terahertz SAR echo signal is constructed based on this. The terahertz SAR echo signal containing complex platform vibration is processed, and a Fourier transform is performed along the azimuth direction to obtain a defocused SAR image, such as... Figure 4 As shown. Due to the influence of multi-component platform vibration with time-varying amplitude, a clear, focused terahertz SAR image cannot be obtained. Therefore, we use the LM-based platform vibration compensation algorithm proposed in this invention for compensation. Through iteration, the phase error introduced by platform vibration can be estimated, and a compensation function can be constructed to compensate for the platform vibration. The terahertz SAR image after compensation by the algorithm proposed in this invention is shown below. Figure 5As shown, the image defocus is well suppressed after compensation by the LM-based platform vibration compensation algorithm, and the point targets in the image are clearly visible. Furthermore, Table 2 presents the Tsallis entropy results of the image before and after compensation by the algorithm proposed in this invention under a -10dB condition. It can be seen that the reduction in entropy further proves the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed in this invention.
