Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of radar signal processing technology, and in particular to a multi-channel SAR enhancement imaging method based on low-rank tensor decomposition. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of millimeter-wave technology, millimeter-wave radar systems, especially Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), have been widely used in autonomous driving, geological exploration, and urban mapping due to their advantages of high resolution, long range, and multi-channel array gain. However, due to the high spatial loss, limited transmit power, and antenna size limitations of the millimeter-wave band, millimeter-wave radar systems face challenges such as limited imaging range and low signal-to-noise ratio in certain applications, especially on platforms such as UAVs and ground-based rails. To address these issues, researchers have begun exploring how to improve imaging quality and range while maintaining high resolution.
[0003] Digital array technology offers an effective approach to addressing these challenges. Multi-channel digital arrays, through multiple receiving channels combined with digital beamforming (DBF), can acquire full-aperture echoes without beam scanning, improving system gain and range. Currently, traditional digital beamforming techniques primarily rely on linear methods, such as conventional beamforming (CBF), which improves the image signal-to-noise ratio by coherently accumulating the signal. However, this linear processing approach struggles to fully extract the potential structural features and low-rank information from multi-channel data when facing complex imaging scenarios.
[0004] Tensor decomposition (TD), a powerful signal processing tool, can effectively extract and represent the intrinsic structure of high-dimensional data, and has been widely used in video imaging, interferometric SAR, and other fields in recent years. Different TD models, such as the CANDECOMP / PARAFAC (CP) model, the Tucker model, and the Tensor Train (TT) model, each have their own characteristics. Among them, the TT model can balance global information extraction and local feature characterization in a more efficient way, and is particularly suitable for complex multi-channel SAR imaging scenarios. Compared with other TD models, the TT model has more accurate low-rank feature mining, which helps to better characterize redundant information and target features of interest in multi-channel radar images.
[0005] In millimeter-wave SAR systems, multi-channel arrays not only effectively improve imaging resolution and signal-to-noise ratio, but also uncover low-rank prior features in complex imaging environments. By deeply mining the low-rank characteristics of tensor data, image quality can be further improved, enabling radar systems to handle more complex imaging tasks.
[0006] In summary, the main challenge currently facing millimeter-wave SAR imaging technology lies in how to improve image quality and resolution through nonlinear and multidimensional data processing methods. Against this backdrop, tensor decomposition techniques, especially tensor chain decomposition models, have become an important research direction in multi-channel SAR imaging due to their powerful data processing capabilities.

[0133] To verify the beneficial effects of the present invention, the following experiments were conducted:
[0134] 1. This invention designs multi-channel SAR simulation experiments. In the simulation, a 2-transmit, 2-receive DDMMIMO array is set up, and different algorithms (TTNN, Tucker, DBF) are used for imaging processing. After obtaining the enhanced imaging results, the image quality of different algorithms is compared by considering structure, sharpness, and clutter. Quantitative analysis is performed using three indicators: PSNR, SSIM, and equivalent number of looks.
[0135] The experimental results are as follows: (Refer to the diagram) Figure 2 3 Figure 2 The figure shows a comparison of simulation results for single-building SAR tomography using L1NM, ANM, and the algorithm of this invention. It can be seen from the figure that the tensor decomposition method can effectively suppress sidelobes and enhance target features. TTNN, Tucker, and DBF can all utilize array gain to achieve better image signal-to-noise ratios than single-channel imaging. Algorithms utilizing the low-rank properties of tensors can achieve better denoising performance than DBF. Based on this, the proposed algorithm has a lower sidelobe level and higher image quality than Tucker. Figure 3 Quantitative analysis results are presented. Similar to the qualitative analysis results, the proposed algorithm shows significant advantages in three metrics: Peak Sidelobe Ratio (PSNR), Structural Similarity to Image (SSIM), and Equivalent Number of Looks (ENL). These advantages are even more pronounced at high signal-to-noise ratios. This indicates that, in addition to denoising, the proposed algorithm can also suppress sidelobes and lateral levels, improving image quality and achieving enhanced imaging results.
[0136] It should be noted that the above-described embodiments only illustrate some implementation methods of the present invention, and their description should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that those skilled in the art can make several improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these improvements should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

The multi-channel SAR enhancement imaging method based on low-rank tensor decomposition as described in claim 5, characterized in that: The iterative solution based on the alternating direction multiplier ADMM framework includes: The model is transformed into the optimization problem described below: The corresponding augmented Lagrangian function is A set of auxiliary variables introduced, That is, optimizing variables. This is the stack of the original images after Ket augmentation, where λ is the weighting coefficient, D represents the number of image patches, and ω... d These are the weights used for the d-th image. The introduced dual variable represents the penalty coefficient. Similarly, dual variables are introduced. As an auxiliary variable introduced, λ is the weighting coefficient. The following subproblems are updated progressively to obtain the solution to the augmented Lagrangian function in the minimization optimization problem. In the formula, k is the iteration number, R and β represent the dual variables and penalty coefficients, η is the rising parameter used to adjust the penalty coefficient, and ω and λ are quantities introduced by the augmented Lagrangian function. The specific iterative update steps include: renew in It is a singular value matrix, and a left singular value matrix. Right singular value matrix It is derived from singular value decomposition The obtained ; svt(·) represents the singular value thresholding operation, the r-th d The values of the diagonal elements after SVT are updated to... Then update fold <d>< / d> This is a rewrite for ease of expression. R and β represent the dual variables and penalty coefficients, D represents the number of image blocks, and δ is the quantity introduced by the augmented Lagrangian function. A set of auxiliary variables introduced, This is the stack of the original images after Ket augmentation; Finally, update the dual variable and penalty coefficient.
