Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of radar technology, and in particular to a multi-frame joint detection method based on a graph neural network link prediction task, which can be used for long-distance weak target detection. Background Art
[0002] Target detection aims to determine whether a given echo originates from a target based on its signal strength. Effective target detection is the foundation for subsequent operations such as target tracking and identification. Traditional radar signal processing processes separate detection and tracking into two separate steps. This sequential approach of detecting first and then tracking is particularly problematic when dealing with targets with low signal-to-noise ratios. To successfully detect targets with low signal-to-noise ratios, it is often necessary to lower the threshold. However, lowering the threshold can lead to a large number of false alarms, making them difficult for the system to handle. It also increases the likelihood of misassociating the target with false alarms, making it difficult to correctly initiating the target's track.
[0003] To address the shortcomings of traditional signal processing pipelines, multi-frame detection (MFD) is considered a practical method for detecting faint targets. It improves detection performance for targets with low signal-to-noise ratios by fusing echo data from multiple consecutive frames. However, traditional multi-frame detection methods have significant drawbacks in high-resolution detection scenarios with a large number of detection units. On the one hand, the large number of raw observations imposes a heavy computational burden on the system, while on the other hand, the observation uncertainty caused by excessive false points makes it difficult to correctly associate targets. An effective countermeasure is the search-first, start-later multi-frame detection method. This method uses multiple frames of observations that pass a low threshold to search for potential tracks using the target's physical motion constraints. Finally, it makes a fusion decision along the potential tracks based on information such as echo energy. However, this method performs track search and track decision sequentially. This serial approach limits the final multi-frame detection performance to the target's potential track search performance. Furthermore, the model-driven track search approach employed by these methods makes it difficult to use unified constraint parameters to effectively associate targets with different motion characteristics. This results in a high incidence of missed target associations during track search. In addition, this type of method does not fully utilize the echo information and the space-time coupling characteristics of inter-frame traces, which is not conducive to multi-frame joint detection. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the above-mentioned problems in the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-frame joint detection method based on a graph neural network link prediction task. The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0011] Beneficial effects:
[0012] The present invention provides a multi-frame joint detection method GLP-MFD based on the graph neural network link prediction task. It uses the prior knowledge of the physical movement of the target to perform association tests on the observation data that passes the first threshold to construct a point track association graph. Then, a multi-feature link prediction network MFLPN designed based on the graph neural network is designed. The MFLPN integrates the echo structure, Doppler, space-time coupling and other features of single-frame observations to complete the multi-frame detection task. The present invention transforms the multi-frame detection problem into link prediction in the graph, and completes the track search and track judgment in an integrated manner. It can simplify the processing logic by directly outputting the target track from the multi-frame observation, which is conducive to more accurate track judgment while reducing the loss of track search performance. Compared with traditional single-frame and multi-frame detection methods, the present invention can improve the detection performance of the target while effectively suppressing false points.

[0020] In a complex Gaussian white noise scenario containing a target, a coherent radar system can improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the target echo through pulse compression and non-coherent integration, while also obtaining Doppler measurement information. After radar target detection, the measurement information of the kth point in the nth frame can be expressed as follows:

[0026] There is a certain connection between the spatial and temporal characteristics of the target's multi-frame data between frames. Prior knowledge of the target's physical motion can be used to perform association tests on multi-frame observations that pass a low threshold. The point traces are used as nodes, and the successfully associated nodes are connected with edges to form an undirected graph, which the present invention calls a point trace association graph. The correct target track exists in the point trace association graph. The present invention needs to complete the integrated track search and track judgment process from the point trace association graph. The present invention uses the maximum speed constraint to construct the point trace association graph.

[0055]
[0056] Where k represents the number of layers; Represents the features of node i in the kth layer, the input node feature matrix x of STEF-GAN (0) That is the point trace extraction feature matrix f output by the NFEN network; represents the set of neighbor nodes of node i; e j,i Represents the characteristics of the edge between node i and node j; A learnable matrix representing the features of nodes in the kth layer; Represents the learnable matrix of the k-th layer edge features, φ G Represents the nonlinear activation function in the GNN network, such as relu, sigmoid, softmax; Represents a fully connected layer; ⊕ represents an aggregation operation, such as addition, maximum value, and average, which can aggregate the neighbor node information of node i into itself; || represents feature merging; represents the attention coefficient of the kth layer; Represents the learnable parameters in the attention mechanism; represents the learnable matrix of the edge in the attention mechanism, and The difference is, Focus on learning the impact of edge features in the attention mechanism, It is used for feature enhancement of edges, focusing on their influence in aggregation operations. It is this message passing mechanism that enables STEF-GAN to fuse multi-frame structural information and explore the complex motion patterns between nodes, thereby increasing the separability of targets and false alarms.
[0057] There is a coupling relationship between the measurement time, measurement distance, measurement angle, and measurement speed of the target multi-frame traces with certain physical motion laws, but this coupling relationship is usually more complicated. k,n,r k,n ,θ k,n ,v k,n Directly inputting the node features into the network will increase the difficulty of network training and the computational burden. Based on this consideration, the t-values between multiple frame traces can be pre-constructed based on the target domain knowledge. k,n ,r k,n ,θ k,n ,v k,n After obtaining the feature input of nodes and edges, STEF-GAN mines multi-frame information through multi-layer message passing to obtain the final feature, which can be expressed as follows:
[0058]
[0059] Where G· represents the inter-layer operation in STEF-GAN; Indicates function composite operation; N G represents the number of STEF-GAN network layers; e represents the edge feature matrix input to the STEF-GAN network.
[0060] After thoroughly exploring the multidimensional attributes of track points and the spatial and temporal coupling characteristics between track points across multiple frames, the present invention utilizes OAJN to perform intelligent track judgment within the track correlation graph. Compared to traditional judgment methods that rely on energy accumulation thresholds, this approach learns the mapping from multidimensional measurement information to whether track correlations originate from the target, enabling better assessment of track quality.
[0061] S500, for any two nodes with a common edge, use OAJN to fuse the final features of the two nodes to calculate the classification score of the common edge between the two nodes, and remove the common edges that do not meet the classification score of the common edge, and retain the common edges between the targets.
[0062] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, S500 includes:

[0064] Considering the edge feature e j,i It reflects the space-time coupling relationship between the traces. In order to make full use of this feature, the present invention will j,i Input it into OAJN again. In addition, the Doppler channel difference of the target is an important representation of the target motion characteristics. For example, for a target moving at a constant speed, the Doppler channel difference between different frames is usually small. The present invention calculates the Doppler channel difference d between node j and node i. j,i =|d j-d i | is also input into OAJN to better learn the classification prediction of edge attributes. In order to facilitate the subsequent setting of thresholds to distinguish target tracks from false tracks, the present invention selects the softamx function as the nonlinear activation during decoding. The edges in the point trace association graph are divided into three categories: false alarm-false alarm edges, false alarm-target edges, and target-target edges. Their true label values are represented as For any two nodes with edges output by STEF-GAN and The score of the common edge between any two nodes is expressed as:

[0069] In summary, the present invention provides a multi-frame joint detection method GLP-MFD based on the graph neural network link prediction task. After constructing a point track association graph for multiple consecutive frames of observation data that pass a low threshold, it uses a multi-feature link prediction MFLPN network to perform integrated track search and judgment. The multi-feature link prediction network MFLPN includes three modules: a node feature embedding network NFEN, an attention mechanism graph neural network STEF-GAN with space-time coupling edge features, and a point track association judgment network OAJN. NFEN extracts deep features of point track echo structure, Doppler and other information; STEF-GAN fully mines the association features containing complex physical motion laws between target point tracks; OAJN completes target detection through link prediction in the point track association graph based on the mined features. The present invention transforms the multi-frame detection problem into link prediction in the graph, and completes track search and judgment in an integrated manner, so as to simplify the processing logic by being able to directly output the target track from multi-frame observations, reducing the loss of track search performance while facilitating more accurate track judgment. Compared with traditional single-frame and multi-frame detection methods, the present invention can effectively suppress false points and improve the detection performance of the target.
[0070] The advantages of the present invention are reflected below through experimental content and results.
[0071] In order to demonstrate the improvement in detection performance brought about by the integrated multi-frame detection using the proposed GLP-MFD method, the present invention considers conducting simulation experiments in 2D scenes, but the proposed method can be easily extended to 3D scenes. The simulated radar parameters are set as follows: the radar operates in the L band, the beam width is 2°, the distance resolution is 100m, and the radar system transmits 32 pulses at each wave position. As mentioned above, the first threshold determines the optimal detection performance that can be achieved by the proposed method. Therefore, in order to ensure that the radar system has better detection performance for low signal-to-noise ratio targets, while not introducing too many false points that make the system calculation burden too heavy, the present invention sets the first threshold according to the false alarm probability P fa,1 =10 -3 set up.
[0072] In order to highlight the superiority of the proposed GLP-MFD method, the present invention uses the traditional search-first-then-start MFD method NDP and a model-driven track initiation combined with incoherent accumulation MFD method MTS-NCI for comparison. The NDP method uses target position measurement to construct kinematic constraints to obtain potential tracks, and fuses the track energy through the incoherent accumulation method to compare with the second threshold for track judgment. The MTS-NCI method makes full use of Doppler information, and constructs motion constraints based on the coupling relationship between position measurement and Doppler measurement to obtain potential tracks. By introducing Doppler information, the separability of target tracks and false tracks is increased, and then the track energy is incoherently accumulated and compared with the second threshold for track judgment. In order to make a fair comparison, the above methods all use the same window length for processing, and the false alarm probability after processing is guaranteed to be P for all methods. fa,2 =10 -6 .
[0073] The relationship curves between the target detection probability and the number of sliding windows for the above methods with signal-to-noise ratios of 9dB and 12dB are shown in the figure below. Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown. Among them, P D,CA-CFAR Indicates that the unit average constant false alarm method is used in a single frame with a false alarm probability of 10 -6 The probability of target detection under the condition P D,UPB Represents the upper limit of the detection performance of the proposed method and the comparison method. It can be seen that as the number of sliding windows increases, the detection probability of the multi-frame detection method gradually increases. In most cases, the multi-frame detection method can achieve better target detection performance than the single-frame detection method. Since the NDP method does not use Doppler information, the separability of targets and false alarms is poor. At the same time, its elimination of false tracks mainly relies on energy accumulation, which makes its single sliding window performance weaker than the traditional unit average constant false alarm method at low signal-to-noise ratio. Under high signal-to-noise ratio conditions, its performance is higher than the unit average constant false alarm method. The MTS-NCI method introduces Doppler information, which has better separability for targets and false alarms, and its performance is better than the NDP method. However, weak targets will reduce the separability of targets and false alarms, and setting the false alarm probability P fa,1 =10 -3 This results in a high number of false alarms passing the first threshold, leading to a performance bottleneck. The proposed GLP-MFD method fuses the multidimensional information of target traces with the spatial-temporal coupling between frames through a multi-feature link prediction network, approaching an optimal target detector that integrates multidimensional extracted features and achieving the highest detection performance. Furthermore, its superiority over other methods is even more pronounced at low signal-to-noise ratios, demonstrating that the proposed GLP-MFD method can effectively suppress false traces while maintaining good detection performance for weak targets.
