Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ionospheric inversion, and in particular relates to a parameter interpretation method and system for an ionospheric oblique backscatter swept-frequency ionogram. Background Art

[0002] The principle of ionospheric oblique backscatter detection is that radio waves are transmitted by a transmitter and then incident obliquely on the ionosphere, and then reflected to the far ground or water surface of the earth. Due to the unevenness of the incident plane, some rays return along the original path and are received by the receiver. The detection equipment obtains the group delay information of oblique backscatter echoes at different frequencies through frequency sweep detection, and obtains the frequency-group delay two-dimensional ionogram. Due to spherical focusing and time focusing, the oblique backscatter echo has a very steep front edge, showing obvious signal enhancement on the ionogram, and its group path is the smallest among all oblique backscatter echoes at the detection frequency.

[0003] Since the oblique backscatter signal has experienced at least two ionospheric reflections and one ground or water surface scattering, the energy of the oblique backscatter signal is weak. In addition, as the detection frequency increases, the path of the front group of the oblique backscatter signal increases monotonically, which will bring greater path loss. Therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio of the oblique backscatter signal in the oblique backscatter ionogram is usually low, and due to the existence of a large number of interferences in the same frequency band in space, many frequency echoes are submerged in the interference, showing a front fracture in the oblique backscatter ionogram. Since the oblique backscatter detection power is large, the side lobes of the transmitting antenna can still radiate a large power signal. Part of the signal vertically enters the ionosphere and is vertically reflected and received by the receiver. Since the vertically reflected vertical detection signal has no scattering process, the energy of the vertical detection signal received by the receiver is even higher than that of the oblique backscatter signal. The existence of the above phenomenon makes it very difficult to automatically interpret the complete front of the oblique backscatter signal.

[0004] At present, the automatic interpretation method of the parameters of the oblique backscatter ionization map mainly relies on traversing the frequency axis and extracting the minimum group path of each frequency point as the front through the threshold method. However, this method has very high requirements on the oblique backscatter ionization map and is difficult to use under low-power detection conditions. It can only obtain a partially broken oblique backscatter front. At the same time, the interpretation result is greatly affected by the vertical measurement signal. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a parameter interpretation method and system for an ionospheric oblique backscatter swept-frequency ionogram, which utilizes the signal enhancement caused by the focusing effect at the front edge of the oblique backscatter signal in the ionospheric oblique backscatter ionogram, repairs the image submerged by interference through two-dimensional discrete wavelet reconstruction, uses the Canny edge detection operator to extract edges, and separates the oblique backscatter signal from the vertical reflection signal through morphological closing operations and prior knowledge of the path distribution of ionospheric signal groups, thereby realizing parameter interpretation, and has the advantages of accurate interpretation, low noise interference and good signal quality.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a parameter interpretation method of an ionospheric oblique backscatter swept frequency ionogram, comprising the following steps:

[0007] Grayscale processing and denoising of oblique backscattered swept frequency ionization images;

[0008] After the image edge is extracted by the Canny edge detection operator, the frequency point signals submerged by the noise are connected through the morphological closing operation to obtain a continuous signal edge;

[0009] The ionospheric vertical signal and the oblique backscatter signal are divided by connected domain analysis;

[0010] The starting area of ​​the F-layer oblique backscatter signal is delineated, and the ionization diagram is traversed along the frequency direction to obtain the frequency-minimum group path curve of the oblique backscatter signal. The frequency-minimum group path curve at different frequency points is fitted using LASSO regression to obtain the F-layer oblique backscatter front.

[0011] In the above scheme, the oblique backscatter swept frequency ionogram is firstly grayscale processed and denoised to improve the edge extraction effect. After the image edge is extracted by the Canny edge detection operator, the frequency point signals submerged by the noise are connected through the morphological closing operation to preprocess and repair the denoised image to obtain a continuous signal edge. The ionospheric vertical measurement signal and the oblique backscatter signal are divided by connected domain analysis to facilitate identification. After the ionospheric oblique backscatter signal group path area is determined, the LASSO regression is used to fit the minimum value of the ionospheric oblique backscatter signal group path at different frequency points to obtain the ionospheric oblique backscatter front.

[0012] Furthermore, the denoising includes performing two-dimensional discrete wavelet decomposition on the oblique backscattered swept frequency ionogram after grayscale processing, and then performing two-dimensional wavelet reconstruction to obtain the denoised oblique backscattered ionogram.

[0013] Furthermore, the Canny edge detection operator extracts the image edge including the following steps:

[0014] A Gaussian filter mask is defined, and each pixel of the image is scanned using the mask. The weighted average grayscale value of the pixels in the neighborhood determined by the mask is used to replace the value of the central pixel of the template. The image pixel gradient is calculated using the Sobel operator, and then a binary image containing the edge of the oblique backscattered signal and the vertical detection signal is obtained by setting two thresholds and traversing the edge pixels.

[0015] Furthermore, the morphological closing operation to connect the frequency point signals submerged by noise includes the following steps:

[0016] Construct a rectangular kernel , for the binary image containing the edge of the oblique backscattered signal and the vertical detection signal With nuclear The morphological closing operation is expressed as:

[0017] .

[0018] Furthermore, dividing the ionospheric vertical detection signal and the oblique backscatter signal by connected domain analysis includes the following steps:

[0019] After the connected domain analysis, the threshold is selected to remove the connected domains with too few connected pixels, and each connected domain is traversed and classified to obtain the ionization map background mask, vertical detection signal mask, and oblique backscatter signal mask.

[0020] Further, the method comprises the following steps: separately interpreting the ionospheric vertical measurement signal to obtain the local ionospheric critical frequency and the electron density peak height, and the interpreting steps are as follows:

[0021] Set the pixels at the oblique backscatter signal mask position of the ionogram to 0 to determine whether there is a vertical detection signal mask. If so, read the maximum frequency corresponding to the vertical detection signal mask as the ionospheric vertical detection signal x wave. Layer critical frequency, based on the ionospheric vertical signal x wave The magnetic rotation frequency above the critical frequency of the layer and the receiving equipment of the ionogram is Calculate the ionospheric vertical signal o wave Critical frequency and the ionosphere Layer peak height;

[0022] If the vertical signal mask does not exist, the ionosphere The critical frequency and peak height parameters of the layer are given by Model provided.

[0023] Further, the following steps are included:

[0024] Interpreting the vertical signal mask, extracting the group path of the minimum frequency point, and then calculating the minimum group path of the F layer oblique backscatter signal area;

[0025] Traverse along the frequency axis of the ionogram, set the pixels whose pixel values ​​of the corresponding positions of the oblique backscatter signal mask in the F layer oblique backscatter signal area are less than the set value to zero, and select the minimum group path of the non-zero pixel points at each frequency point to obtain the frequency-minimum group path curve of the oblique backscatter signal.

[0026] Furthermore, the F-layer oblique backscattering front is the oblique backscattering signal frequency point number, frequency-minimum group path curve, oblique backscattering signal frequency matrix, regularization parameter, polynomial coefficient matrix, polynomial coefficient matrix Norm of the fitted cubic polynomial function.

[0027] A parameter interpretation system for an ionospheric oblique backscatter swept-frequency ionogram, comprising:

[0028] The first main module is used for grayscale processing and denoising of the oblique backscattered swept frequency ionization image;

[0029] The second main module is used to extract the image edge through the Canny edge detection operator and then connect the frequency point signals submerged by noise through morphological closing operation to obtain continuous signal edges;

[0030] The third main module is used to divide the ionospheric vertical measurement signal and the oblique return scattering signal through connected domain analysis;

[0031] The fourth main module is used to define the starting area of ​​the oblique backscatter signal of the F layer, and traverse the ionization diagram along the frequency direction to obtain the frequency-minimum group path curve of the oblique backscatter signal; use LASSO regression to fit the frequency-minimum group path curve of different frequency points to obtain the oblique backscatter front of the F layer.

[0032] A computer-readable storage medium stores a computer program, and when the computer program is executed by a processor, the computer executes the steps of the above method.

[0033] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0046] The F layer is the ionosphere region with an altitude of generally 140 km to several thousand km. Layer and layer, The layer is located at Below the layer, the altitude is about 140~200 kilometers.

[0047] The present embodiment provides a method for interpreting parameters of an ionospheric oblique backscatter swept-frequency ionogram, which utilizes conventional oblique backscatter detection equipment and is beneficial to improving the quality of the oblique backscatter ionogram without increasing additional hardware costs. It can effectively separate the vertical reflection signal and the oblique backscatter signal on the ionogram, and additionally obtain local ionospheric parameters and a more continuous oblique backscatter front.

[0048] The basic principle of this embodiment is as follows Figure 1 As shown in the figure, an ionospheric oblique backscatter detector is used to transmit a coded modulated shortwave detection signal with a narrow bandwidth to the oblique upper ionosphere in a swept frequency observation mode. After being received by the receiver, it is cross-correlated with the code sequence for pulse compression to obtain a frequency~group path two-dimensional distribution ionogram. After constant false alarm, the oblique backscatter swept frequency ionogram is used for grayscale processing and wavelet denoising. After the Canny edge detection operator is used to extract the image edge, the frequency point signals submerged by the noise are connected through morphological closing operation, and the ionospheric vertical measurement signal and the oblique backscatter signal are divided by the centroid of the connected domain. The ionospheric vertical measurement signal is interpreted separately to obtain the local ionospheric critical frequency and electron density peak height, and then the ionospheric oblique backscatter signal group path area is determined. The minimum value of the ionospheric oblique backscatter signal group path at different frequency points is fitted by LASSO regression to obtain the ionospheric oblique backscatter front.

If the pixel gradient is the local maximum in the positive / negative gradient direction, the point is retained and defined as an edge pixel. Otherwise, the pixel value is set to zero. Set two thresholds and , and meet , traverse the edge pixels again, if the gradient amplitude of the edge pixels Greater than or equal to , then the edge pixel is marked as a strong edge point. If the gradient amplitude of the edge pixel is Less than But greater than or equal to , then the edge pixel is marked as a virtual edge point. If the gradient amplitude of the edge pixel is Less than , then the edge point is discarded and its pixel value is set to zero, and a binary image containing the edge of the oblique backscatter signal and the vertical detection signal is obtained; usually, and The values ​​of are and .

[0088] It should be noted that the method of using connected domain analysis to remove the noise connected domain and separate the ionospheric vertical measurement signal, oblique backscatter signal and background noise is as follows:

[0089] If the signal edge The connected domain mask set obtained by connected domain analysis is , the background connected domain mask is , No. The signal or noise connected domain mask is , is the sum function, and the centroid of the connected domain is , refers to the group path corresponding to the centroid of the connected domain, is the frequency corresponding to the centroid of the connected domain; the total number of connected domains is , the ionization image background mask, vertical detection signal mask, and oblique backscatter signal mask obtained by traversing each connected domain and performing three classification are respectively expressed as equations (17), (18), and (19):

[0105] Step 6, performing LASSO regression fitting on the obtained frequency-minimum group path curve of the oblique backscatter signal as the front edge of the F layer oblique backscatter signal;

[0106] It should be noted that the frequency-minimum group path curve of the oblique backscatter signal is subjected to LASSO regression fitting as the method for the frontier of the oblique backscatter signal:

[0107] The front edge of the oblique backscattered signal is fitted by a cubic polynomial function of frequency, expressed as:

[0112] In the above method, the edge detection effect can be adjusted by adjusting the size of the double threshold of the Canny edge detection operator as needed. By increasing the size of the regularization parameter of the LASSO regression fitting, the obtained oblique backscattering front can be made smoother, but if it is too large, the fitted front position will deviate from the true front position.
