Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of signal processing and relates to a moving target fast imaging method based on KT transformation. Background Art
[0002] Synthetic aperture imaging (SAR) technology can capture high-resolution images of static scenes, offering advantages such as all-day, all-weather, and high-resolution imaging. However, for moving targets on land and sea surfaces, such as vehicles speeding on roads, highly maneuverable weapons and equipment on the battlefield, and fast-moving speedboats on the sea, their motion parameters are unknown. Directly using the motion parameters of the static scene for phase matching cannot accurately compensate for their range and Doppler shifts, resulting in defocused and misaligned images due to mismatched matching functions. These moving targets are considered high-value and high-threat, making their detection and imaging crucial for battlefield situation assessment, traffic monitoring, and maritime counter-terrorism.
[0003] However, traditional moving target imaging methods for phase estimation mostly include search-based estimation methods, and the search accuracy is closely related to the size of the step, resulting in extremely high computational complexity and high time consumption of such methods, which is not conducive to the implementation of the algorithm.
[0004] Patent CN 113109810 A discloses a SAR moving target imaging method and system based on LVD. This solution includes steps such as range compression of echo signals, range curvature correction, range walk correction, Doppler frequency parameter estimation using the LVD method, and azimuth signal compression imaging. However, this method only considers the range curvature caused by platform motion when compensating for range curvature, while ignoring the range curvature caused by target motion. This results in inadequate motion compensation, especially in the case of strabismus, where range-azimuth coupling is more severe. Furthermore, this method uses a spatial search method using Radon transform to estimate range walk, which is slow and leads to poor imaging efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0088] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0100] The KT transform-based moving target rapid imaging method of the present invention is applicable to squint imaging and does not require search estimation, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of moving target imaging and providing a good solution for moving target rapid imaging.
[0101] In one embodiment of the present invention, the moving target echo signal is expressed as:
[0102]
[0103] In formula (1), rect(·) represents the window function, t represents the fast time variable, and ta denotes the azimuth slow time variable, T p denotes the pulse width, lambda denotes the wavelength of the transmitted signal, tau denotes the time delay of the received signal, c denotes the speed of light, mu denotes the range bandwidth, exp denotes the exponential operation with the natural constant e as the base, R(t a ) denotes the instantaneous slant range.
[0104] In the model establishment, the echo model adopted by the application fully considers the squint condition, has strong adaptability, and can more accurately reflect the complex situation in actual application.
[0105] The step S2 of the application comprises:
[0106] S21: performing distance dimension fast Fourier transform on the received two-dimensional time domain moving target echo signal to obtain an echo signal with the distance dimension being the frequency domain and the azimuth dimension being the time domain.
[0107] The echo signal with the distance dimension being the frequency domain and the azimuth dimension being the time domain is expressed as:
[0108]
[0109] In formula (2), f r is a distance frequency variable, f c is a carrier frequency.
[0110] S22: in the distance frequency domain and the azimuth time domain, the echo signal is multiplied by a range compression function to obtain a compressed echo signal, and Taylor formula expansion is performed on the slant range R(t a ) at t a =0, and the second-order term is retained, and is expressed as:
[0111]
[0112] In formula (3), H rcom is a range compression function, the range compression function is expressed as R s is a reference slant range, indicating the distance between the beam center and the platform, are a phase first-order term coefficient and a phase second-order term coefficient respectively, theta0 is a squint angle, v indicates a platform speed, v x and v y indicate speed components of the target.
[0113] The step S3 of the application comprises:
[0114] S31: in the squint mode, the range compressed echo signal has a significant range migration problem, in which the platform causes a large part, and the compressed echo signal is first uniformly corrected for range migration and range curvature to construct a consistent compensation function, which is expressed as:
[0115]
[0116] In formula (4), H un is the consistent compensation function, ρ 10 =-vsinθ0, are the distance travel and distance bending coefficients caused by platform motion, respectively.
[0117] S32: Combine the consistent compensation function with s2(f r ,t a ) is multiplied to obtain the compensated echo signal, which can eliminate the influence of platform motion and effectively narrow the range of subsequent phase coefficient estimation.
[0118] The echo signal after compensation is expressed as:
[0119]
[0120] In formula (5), c1=ρ1-ρ 10 , c2=ρ2-ρ 20 .
[0121] Step S4 of the present invention includes:
[0122] S41: Based on the equidistant scattering sampling characteristics of the target signal in the slow time domain, a time reversal transformation (TRT) method without losing signal sampling data is used to compensate the echo signal conversion, which is expressed as:
[0123]
[0124] In formula (6), represents the slow time-reversal conjugate transform.
[0125] S42: With s3(f r ,t a ) are multiplied to obtain the inverted echo signal, which is expressed as:
[0126]
[0127] The slow time reversal processing utilizes the discrete equal interval characteristics of slow time and the phase parity to eliminate the influence of the phase quadratic term without any estimation processing, which is more efficient than other algorithms.
[0128] The present invention first uses platform motion information to perform consistent compensation on the echo, and then uses slow time reversal and KT transform to perform residual compensation for target motion, thereby achieving more refined phase compensation. As can be seen from formula (7), only the first-order phase term remains in the signal, which makes it easier to estimate the coefficient of the first-order term.
[0129] The step S5 of the present application comprises:
[0130] The echo signal after inversion is subjected to a KT (keystone) transformation to realize decoupling of the range and azimuth, and the transformation mode is represented as:
[0131]
[0132] In the formula (8), τ a is the slow time variable after transformation.
[0133] The echo signal after decoupling is obtained, and the echo signal after decoupling is represented as:
[0134]
[0135] It can be seen from the formula (9) that the phase only remains the slow time item (i.e. the azimuth direction) at this time, and there is no phase coupled with the range direction (f r , t r ), that is, the range migration item is eliminated.
[0136] The step S6 of the present application comprises:
[0137] S61: The echo signal after decoupling is subjected to a fast Fourier transformation in the azimuth direction, and is represented as:
[0138]
[0139] In the formula (10), δ(·) is an impulse function, and the impulse appears at .
[0140] S62: The estimated linear item coefficient is obtained according to the position of the peak value of the impulse function, and is represented as:
[0141]
[0142] In the formula (11), the peak(·) function represents the position of the peak value of the impulse function, represents the estimated linear item coefficient, and the position of the maximum value of the echo matrix can be obtained.
[0143] The step S7 of the present application comprises:
[0144] S71: The de-migration function is constructed, and is represented as:
[0145]
[0146] In the formula (12), H LRC is the range migration function, and is used to correct the linear item of the phase.
[0147] S72: The de-migration function HLRC and the compensated echo signal s3(f r ,t a ) are multiplied to obtain the echo signal after removing the movement. The echo signal after removing the movement is expressed as:
[0148]
[0149] Here, the estimated linear coefficients are used to perform range motion correction on the original uniformly compensated signal. The ultimate goal of the above slow time reversal and KT transform is to estimate the linear coefficients of the phase. Therefore, this algorithm can perform both KT and SOKT transforms simultaneously without affecting each other.
[0150] Step S8 of the present invention includes:
[0151] S81: Use the SOKT transform (Second-Order Keystone Transform) to correct the range curvature term, expressed as:
[0152]
[0153] In formula (14), η a is the new slow time variable.
[0154] The SOKT transform is used to correct second-order range curvature. The traditional Keystone transform can only correct linear range movement. The SOKT transform achieves range curvature compensation through linear substitution without knowing the precise motion parameters of the moving target.
[0155] S82: Obtain a corrected echo signal, which is expressed as:
[0156]
[0157] Step S9 of the present invention includes:
[0158] S91: Perform inverse fast Fourier transform of the distance, extract the distance row after migration correction, and perform the inverse fast Fourier transform of the distance to the one-dimensional signal s p (η a ) performs mWVD transformation (Modified Wigner-Ville Distribution Transform), which is expressed as:
[0159]
[0160] In formula (16), t0 is a fixed delay,
[0161] The improved Wigner-Ville distribution transform consists of two WVD transform kernels, which can be regarded as the result of performing another WVD processing on the first-order WVD signal along the delay time variable; the improved Wigner-Ville distribution transform introduces an adjustable parameter, which can make the transform more flexible in adjusting the time-frequency resolution by changing the time delay τ0.
[0162] The present invention uses an improved mWVD function to estimate the Doppler modulation frequency to achieve two-dimensional refined imaging, which significantly improves the computational efficiency of the algorithm compared with traditional methods.
[0163] S92: Slow time dimension IFFT (slow time dimension inverse Fourier transform, slow time dimension = azimuth dimension) to obtain the estimated value of Doppler frequency modulation
[0164] Step S10 of the present invention includes:
[0165] S101: Fast Fourier transform along the azimuth direction to transfer to the range, time domain, azimuth and frequency domain.
[0166] S102: Using the Doppler frequency modulation, construct the azimuth pulse pressure function, which is expressed as:
[0167]
[0168] S103: Multiply the azimuth pulse pressure function by the corrected echo signal to obtain a focused echo signal. The focused echo signal is expressed as:
[0169]
[0170] S104: Perform inverse fast Fourier transform along the azimuth direction, convert to range time domain and azimuth time domain, and obtain a focused image.
[0171] The present invention's KT transform-based fast imaging method for moving targets uses slow time reversal and the KT transform to estimate the linear phase term. The estimated linear term coefficient is then used to compensate for the linear phase term of the uniformly compensated echo, achieving de-motion and Doppler center offset removal. The SOKT transform is then used to uniformly correct the range curvature term, effectively suppressing energy diffusion caused by range and Doppler migration. The present invention eliminates search steps and therefore has low computational complexity, significantly improving imaging efficiency and ensuring good real-time performance.
[0172] The effect of the moving target rapid imaging method based on KT transform of the present invention is described below through simulation experiments.
[0173] 1. The parameter settings of this example simulation experiment are shown in Table 1:
[0174] Table 1 Simulation test parameters

[0179] 3. Results of simulation test:
[0180] The results of the simulation test are shown in the attached Figure 2 -Attached Figure 8 . Figure 2 The result after consistent compensation is shown. Consistent compensation eliminates the range migration caused by platform motion. The remaining range migration in the figure is mainly caused by target motion. Figure 3 It is the result of azimuth-dimensional Fourier transform. A pulse will appear in the azimuth frequency domain. According to the position of the pulse, the first-order phase coefficient can be estimated. Figure 4 In order to use the estimated linear coefficient to correct the result after range migration, the echo phase only has the range bending term, so the migration is symmetrically distributed. Figure 5 is the result after SOKT transformation, at which time the range migration compensation is completed and the signals at all azimuth times fall into the same range unit; Figure 6 The result of extracting the range unit signal and performing mWVD transformation on it is obtained. The function of mWVD is to focus the one-dimensional linear frequency modulation signal into a pulse signal and obtain the Doppler modulation frequency according to the position of the pulse. Figure 7 The result of azimuth focusing processing on the signal is obtained by constructing the azimuth pulse pressure function using the estimated Doppler frequency modulation rate. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The refined cross-section of the target at the focal point shows good focusing effect and no coupling deformation.
[0181] By attaching Figure 2 -Attached Figure 8 It can be seen that the moving target rapid imaging method based on KT transform of the present invention has a good moving target focusing effect.
[0182] The algorithm proposed in this paper can be widely applied in airborne and missile-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging systems, particularly in complex battlefield environments, to acquire and analyze the motion and position information of various military targets in real time. The algorithm can effectively focus on dynamic targets on the battlefield, including but not limited to tanks, armored vehicles, military trucks, aircraft carriers, warships, and other moving targets. This algorithm can refocus moving targets in SAR images, effectively imaging them while they are in motion, overcoming the blur and deviation caused by target motion, thereby obtaining clear and accurate images of the target.
[0183] At the same time, the present invention can not only improve the accuracy of parameter estimation of moving targets, but also maintain high-precision true positioning under high-speed moving targets, ensuring the real-time and reliability of battlefield situation perception, and providing an efficient solution for airborne and missile-borne SAR systems. It greatly enriches the functions and information acquisition capabilities of SAR systems, and is of great significance to military reconnaissance, target strikes, battlefield situation perception, monitoring of ocean ships, and detection of low-altitude targets.
[0184] Moreover, the present invention can monitor moving vehicles and pedestrians on the ground, better implement traffic control, monitor traffic flow and vehicle status on the road in real time, identify traffic violations such as speeding, running red lights, and driving against traffic, and provide real-time alerts. This plays an important role in urban traffic management and rapid response to traffic accidents. In terms of intelligent driving simulation, moving target imaging can provide automatic driving systems with all-time and all-weather perception capabilities, especially in bad weather or night driving conditions, to ensure the safety and stability of automatic driving vehicles. In automated logistics systems, moving target imaging can monitor the dynamic position of transportation tools (such as unmanned vehicles, robots, etc.), ensure the efficiency and safety of the cargo transportation process, and optimize the allocation of logistics resources. It can also be applied in disaster monitoring, marine research, and resource exploration to achieve efficient scheduling and save manpower and material resources.
