[0002] Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an advanced radar imaging technology that can obtain high-resolution ground images in any weather conditions by scanning the target area with radar beams. Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology further utilizes the phase information of two or more radar images to accurately measure surface deformation and terrain changes, and is widely used in geological disaster monitoring, urban planning, topographic mapping and other fields.

[0003] Traditional InSAR technology usually relies on satellite platforms or fixed ground stations for data collection. Although it can provide high-precision ground information, its flexibility and response speed are limited to a certain extent. In recent years, the development of UAV platforms has provided new possibilities for the application of InSAR technology. UAVs are highly maneuverable and flexible, and can respond quickly after a disaster and obtain high-resolution ground data. X-band (8-12GHz) radar has high spatial resolution and good target detection capabilities due to its shorter wavelength, making it very suitable for high-precision terrain mapping and deformation monitoring. However, X-band UAV-mounted SAR also faces some challenges in practical applications, such as motion error compensation, ultra-high resolution SAR image registration, geocoding, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to combine high-precision navigation systems and advanced data processing algorithms to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0043] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment discloses a drone-borne InSAR road subsidence measurement method, system, device and medium. The method is specifically a drone-borne InSAR road subsidence measurement method of an X-band drone-borne full-polarization heavy-track interferometric SAR.

[0045] The method of this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0046] S1: UAV collects road image data.

[0047] It should be noted that if Figure 2 The UAV trajectory shown in the figure increases the track accuracy constraint parameters when the UAV is flying a repeated route. spatial The calculation formula, the parameters of the UAV re-orbit flight constraint conditions include: radar side view incident angle θ, the tilt angle α between two re-orbit observations, the spatial baseline B, the distance R from the antenna to the ground target, the wavelength λ of the electromagnetic signal emitted by the SAR sensor, and the SAR signal bandwidth B w , c is the speed of light, spatial incoherence ρ spatial The calculation formula is as follows:

[0048]

[0049] Spatial incoherence ρ spatial Related to the spatial baseline B, when the spatial baseline B value exceeds the critical baseline, ρ spatial When it approaches zero, complete decoherence will occur. Therefore, the track deviation of the drone's two re-orbit flights cannot exceed the critical baseline. The critical baseline calculation formula is as follows:

[0050]

[0051] In this embodiment, the wavelength of the X-band SAR sensor is 31.2mm, the adjustment range of the UAV-borne radar side-view incident angle θ is 20° to 60°, the signal bandwidth is 600MHz, and the flight altitude is calculated as 1km. According to the critical baseline condition requirements of heavy track differential interference, the heavy track space baseline B needs to be less than 18m. Usually, high-precision deformation measurement requires the space baseline to be about one-tenth of the critical baseline, that is, the space baseline needs to be controlled within 2m. An innovative advantage feature of the present invention is that the accuracy of the UAV's repeated tracks is better than 1m, which ensures the accuracy of small deformation measurement values, and the deformation monitoring accuracy can be better than 1mm.

[0052] Furthermore, the drone collects road image data, specifically:

[0053] The four polarization channels of HH, HV, VH and VV of the X-band SAR sensor onboard the UAV are used to obtain the surface echo signal with ultra-high spatial resolution and obtain the road surface image data.

[0054] Among them, for all interference image pairs, the main image M and the auxiliary image S are both K×l matrices, and the pixel information in the main image and the auxiliary image is represented by complex numbers:

[0055]

[0056] M k,l and S k,l Respectively represent the pixel information of the main image and the auxiliary image. These pixel information are complex matrices, representing the complex values ​​of radar echoes. k,l and b k,l Respectively represent the coefficients corresponding to the pixel positions k and l, which are usually scalars representing the amplitude and phase information of the radar signal. VV , M VH , M HV , N HH and S VV , S VH , S HV , S HH is the data of the polarization channel of the main image and the auxiliary image. The generated full polarization SAR image and the differential interference fringes are as follows Figure 3 shown.

[0057] In this embodiment, the advantage of the unmanned aerial vehicle X-band SAR system is the fully polarized interferometric imaging of the four polarization channels HH, HV, VH, and VV. The spacing between the azimuth and range pixels k=1, 2, ..., K; l=1, 2, ..., L is 0.18 meters, which can support fully polarized ultra-high resolution InSAR deformation monitoring.

[0058] S2: Perform image registration on the road surface image data to accurately match the positions of corresponding pixels in the main image and the auxiliary image.

[0059] It should be noted that when performing SAR image registration, offsets are created to resolve the spatial position differences between different images and ensure that they are aligned in the same coordinate system. Specifically, an offset (or offset vector) is a vector that describes the pixel-level displacement between two images. This displacement can be caused by a variety of factors, including slight changes in the platform attitude (such as a slight change in the orbit of an aircraft or satellite), atmospheric disturbances, terrain and objects on the earth's surface, and other factors.

[0060] Furthermore, image registration includes coarse registration and fine registration:

[0061] Rough registration: Select a control point at the center of the main image, and then use the Fourier transform-based correlation coefficient method to calculate the selected control point to obtain the rough registration result of the reference image and the image to be registered;

[0062] Fine registration: multiple control points are evenly selected on the main image, and then the Fourier transform-based correlation coefficient method is used to calculate the coarse registration result for the selected control points and extract the correlation coefficient of the 3×3 neighborhood around the offset as the center. A binary quadratic correlation coefficient surface is constructed for it, and the partial derivative of the obtained binary quadratic correlation coefficient surface is obtained to obtain its extreme value position, which is the final offset of each control point.

[0063] Furthermore, the construction of the offset polynomial is specifically that the positional relationship between the slave image and the main image can be obtained by obtaining the relationship between the offset and the position of the control point, each control point is substituted into the polynomial to obtain the polynomial coefficient through least squares, a mapping relationship between the reference image and the image to be registered is established, and resampling is performed through bilinear interpolation.

[0064] S3: Call the multi-view processing algorithm to process the road image data.

[0065] It should be noted that the process of the multi-look processing algorithm is similar to the average of N independent sampling signals. It can be processed by multi-look averaging of independent SAR intensity images, or by multi-look averaging of the real and imaginary parts of the SAR complex image.

[0066] Furthermore, the multi-view processing algorithm in this embodiment is specifically: N-view averaging processing and M-view averaging processing are performed in the azimuth direction and the slant range direction respectively, and the image size after multi-view processing is 1 / NM of the original image. Multi-view processing is currently the most effective method to suppress speckle noise. After N-view processing, the variance of speckle noise can be reduced. The strength of multi-view processing is as follows: Figure 4 shown.

[0067] Specifically, azimuth multi-view synthesis: In azimuth, adjacent pixels are weighted averaged, which can be expressed by the following formula:

[0068]

[0069] Among them, A(i, j) is the amplitude value of the original image at position i, j; N is the azimuth view number, indicating how many pixels are averaged in the azimuth direction; mli(i, j) represents the pixel value of the image at position i, j after multi-view processing, which is obtained by weighted averaging of N adjacent pixels; k is the index of the pixel in the azimuth direction, ranging from 0 to N-1.

[0070] Slant range multi-view synthesis: In the slant range direction, the pixels in the slant range direction are weighted averaged. The formula is as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Where M is the distance view number, indicating how many pixels are averaged in the distance direction. l is the index of the pixel in the distance direction, ranging from 0 to M-1.

[0073] S4: Perform differential interference processing on the road surface image data to generate a differential interference map.

[0074] It should be noted that the differential interferometry processing is specifically: reading the parameters and data of the single-view complex image, calculating the Doppler frequency correction parameters; performing Fourier transform: using fast Fourier transform and Kaiser window function for bandpass filtering; and obtaining the differential interferogram by complex multiplication.

[0075] The main expressions for differential interferometry processing are as follows:

[0076] Phase difference int: int = M1 × S1 * ; Where M1 represents the main image; S1 * It means to find the conjugate of the auxiliary image. The phase difference is the phase difference of the same area taken at two different times, which is used for topographic measurement and surface deformation monitoring.

[0077] Doppler frequency estimation: dop2 = dopc (p11, rs1); where p11 includes at least the following: airborne platform speed: the radar's flight speed, which will affect the calculation of Doppler frequency shift; flight altitude: the height of the airborne platform relative to the ground, which affects the slant range and field of view; pitch angle and roll angle: the radar's attitude angle, which will affect the geometric relationship observed by the radar; radar transmission parameters: such as the radar's operating frequency, pulse repetition frequency, etc.; rs1 represents the slant range (Slant Range, rs1), which is the straight-line distance from the radar airborne platform to the ground target, that is, the path length of the radar wave propagation. dop2 is the Doppler frequency; dopc is the function for calculating the Doppler frequency.

[0078] Variable update: Among them, α is the variable used to update the time offset; λ is the radar wavelength; lv1*v1 is the dot product of vector lv1 and velocity vector f1; v*focus is the focus velocity, that is, the speed from the drone to the target point.

[0079] Fourier transform: four1(data,nn,isign); data is the input data; nn is the data length; isign is the transformation direction, input 1 indicates positive transformation, and -1 indicates inverse transformation.

[0080] S5: Perform coherence estimation and baseline estimation on the differential interferogram.

[0081] Furthermore, the coherence estimation is specifically: using the coherence formula, a coherence image is calculated, and the coherence image is used to represent the coherence degree of different regions; the value range in the coherence image is between 0 and 1, representing the coherence degree of different regions. The coherence coefficient of the UAV-borne SAR re-track interferometry is above 0.9, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0082] The baseline estimation is to use the orbit state vectors of the primary and secondary images to estimate the baseline, calculate the interpolation of position and velocity, and use zero point search to optimize the baseline parameters. This method does not rely on offset parameters or FFT methods and is suitable for situations with accurate orbit data.

[0083] S6: performing horizon correction processing, filtering processing and phase unwrapping on the differential interferogram in sequence.

[0084] Furthermore, the horizon correction process is also called removing the horizon effect. In interferometric measurement, the interferometric phase contains the horizon phase, which is caused by the reference ellipsoid. In order to accurately perform subsequent analysis and data accuracy, the horizon effect needs to be removed. The horizon correction diagram after removing the horizon effect is shown in the figure below. Figure 6 shown.

[0085] Furthermore, for InSAR interferograms, the fringes have a certain spatial frequency. The magnitude of the fringes frequency depends on factors such as terrain undulation or deformation gradient, baseline length, etc., so that the frequency components of the fringes are not necessarily concentrated in a specific range in the spectrum. Therefore, it is difficult to determine whether to use a low-pass filter, a high-pass filter, or a bandpass (block) filter when filtering the interferometric phase image. This embodiment uses a Goldstein filter to filter it, and processes the phase jump caused by noise or other errors to ensure accurate phase information. The filtering processing result is as follows: Figure 7 shown.

[0086] Furthermore, the phase unwrapping adopts the path tracking method, the minimum norm method or the network flow method. In this embodiment, the phase unwrapping can also adopt other methods, which will not affect the results of the method of this embodiment. Figure 8As shown, the phase unwrapping of this embodiment forms a total of 8 interference pairs, 124010_160136, 124010_163000, 124010_164208, 124010_165698, 124010_170136, 124010_175896, 124010_177400, 124010_196318. It is used as the main image, and the other 8 groups of images are subjected to differential interference. In the 8 groups of images, the road settlement is simulated by changing the number of wooden strips under the settlement plate. The number of wooden blocks on both sides is indicated in brackets: 1 and 2 circles do not change the wooden blocks on both sides (4+4); 3 circles reduce one layer (3+3); 4 circles reduce one layer (2+2); 5 circles reduce one side (2+1); 6 circles reduce the other side (1+1); 7 circles reduce one side (1+0); 8 and 9 circles remove all the wooden boards (0+0).

[0087] S7: Convert the phase into the relative deformation of the road surface; during the propagation of the radar signal, its phase change is proportional to the propagation distance.

[0088] S8: Obtain road surface deformation results.

[0089] In this embodiment, the drone-mounted SAR data processing software can process 0.1-meter ultra-high resolution full-polarization SAR images. The difference between the obtained deformation result and the true value is less than 1 mm. The true deformation map of each point in the obtained image is as follows: Fig. 9 As shown. In this experiment, the deformation in the SAR radar line of sight (LOS) direction of a certain deformation is -2.62cm, and the vertical direction of the settlement plate changes by -3.8cm. Projected to the LOS direction (45°), the change is -2.68cm. The difference between the UAV SAR measurement value and the actual settlement value is 0.6mm. The experimental results show that SAR technology can effectively monitor surface deformation, and the deformation monitoring accuracy can be better than 1mm, which further verifies its effectiveness in practical applications; the experiment confirms the feasibility and accuracy of surface deformation monitoring using single-antenna heavy-track interferometry, and the accuracy can reach millimeter level. This level of accuracy is of great significance to the fields of geological disaster early warning and urban infrastructure monitoring; it proves the feasibility and advantages of the method of this embodiment in practical applications.
