Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of insect radar, and particularly relates to an estimation of the body size parameters of obliquely flying insects based on the recovery of the scattering matrix. Background Art

[0002] So far, the measurement of the biological parameters of insects crossing the insect radar beam has been based on the assumption that the insects maintain a horizontal flight attitude. This assumption simplifies the measurement model to a certain extent, but it is not entirely accurate in reality. It is reasonable to imagine that during the cruising stage of insect migration, the body is mainly in a horizontal flight attitude; while during the takeoff and landing stages, the body attitude of the insects will be inclined. When the insects fly obliquely, the radar wave observed vertically is no longer vertically incident, and the surface of the insect's body facing the radar has changed. Since the electromagnetic scattering of the insects is sensitive to the attitude, this will obviously affect the echo characteristics of the insects, and further affect the target biological parameters measured by the insect radar, such as body length, body weight, etc. In addition, when the radar beam is not vertically upward, for example, when the tracking radar continuously measures the insects, the yaw angle, pitch angle, and roll angle of the insects relative to the polarization plane of the radar incident wave are not 0. At this time, the traditional insect body size parameter estimation algorithm is no longer applicable. Therefore, in practical applications, the relative relationship between the flight attitude of the insects and the radar beam is often more complex. In order to improve the accuracy of insect body size parameter estimation, it is necessary to consider the scattering characteristics of the insects in different flight attitudes.

[0003] In summary, the existing insect radar measurement technology has certain limitations in the case of complex and variable insect flight attitudes. In order to overcome these limitations, it is urgent to study the body size parameter estimation algorithm for non-horizontal attitude insects in order to provide more accurate measurement results in a wider range of application scenarios.

Detailed implementation manners

[0052] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application.

[0053] As Figure 1 shown, a method for estimating the body size parameters of obliquely flying insects based on scattering matrix recovery includes the following steps: S1: Based on the projection relationship between the body axis of an obliquely flying insect and the antenna polarization plane, obtain the three-dimensional attitude angles and of the body axis of the obliquely flying insect relative to the antenna polarization coordinate system, where is the angle between the projection of the body axis of the obliquely flying insect on the antenna polarization plane and the H polarization direction of the electromagnetic wave, and is the angle between the body axis of the obliquely flying insect and the antenna polarization plane; It should be noted that step S1 is intended to calculate the insect attitude angle. Specifically, the insect attitude angle is the rotation angle of the insect body axis relative to the antenna polarization plane reference coordinate system . As Figure 2 shown. Among them, the azimuth angle of the insect attitude is defined as the angle between the projection of the insect body axis on the polarization plane (i.e., the plane formed by the H and V polarization vectors, the plane perpendicular to the antenna line-of-sight direction) and the H polarization direction; the pitch angle is defined as the angle between the body axis and its projection on the polarization plane. Therefore, the rotation matrix of the insect body axis relative to the polarization plane reference system can be defined as: (1) where , They are respectively the rotation matrices for rotating by angle about the axis and rotating by angle about the new axis.

[0054] Using the above rotation matrices, the true attitude angles of the insect body axis in the reference coordinate system of the antenna polarization plane can be calculated. Assuming that the initial body axis direction of the insect is along the positive direction of the X-axis , through the matrix rotation, the new direction of the insect body axis can be obtained. .

[0055] Therefore, the azimuth angle of the insect relative to the H polarization direction is calculated by the formula: (2) The elevation angle relative to the polarization plane is calculated by the formula: (3) where , , are respectively the components of the new body axis direction vector of the insect on the , , axes.

[0056] S2: Equivalent the obliquely flying insect to an oblate spheroid, and construct the polarization scattering matrix of the obliquely flying attitude of the oblate spheroid insect according to Rayleigh scattering, where each component of the polarization scattering matrix of the obliquely flying attitude is a joint expression of the three-dimensional attitude angles and , the scattering amplitude along the body axis direction of the oblate spheroid insect and the scattering amplitude perpendicular to the body axis direction; It should be noted that step S2 aims to perform Rayleigh scattering modeling of the oblate spheroid; specifically, in order to facilitate the qualitative analysis of the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of the insect, it is a reasonable and ideal choice to equivalent the body of the insect to an oblate spheroid. Assume that a linearly polarized plane wave propagates in a medium with a dielectric constant of and a magnetic permeability of , is the wavelength of the wave in this medium, its electric field strength is , is the unit vector in the propagation direction of the incident wave, is the unit vector in the polarization direction of the wave. This wave is incident on a target, and in the propagation of the reflected wave at a distance from the target in the direction of the scattered field in the far field can be expressed as: (4) where is the wavenumber in the medium, is called the scattering amplitude and is written as: (5) The above is the exact expression for representing the scattering amplitude using the total internal electric field of the target where is the complex relative permittivity of the target, given by Equation (6), is the source position inside the target.

[0057] (6) Insect radars are usually monostatic, so , and thus the backscattering radar cross-section and are related as: (7) In the present invention, the insect is modeled as a prolate ellipsoid with major semi-axis a and minor semi-axes b = c, and its surface equation is: (8) And the components of the incident wave electric field in the three-axis directions of the antenna polarization plane reference coordinate system are respectively , and . The components of the electric field component inside the Rayleigh scattering target on each coordinate axis are given by the following equations: (9) where: (10) , , are factors depending on the shape of the scatterer, is the integration variable. It is known that the shape factors satisfy the following equation: (11) For a prolate ellipsoid , there are: (12) Therefore, once the ellipsoidal target shape factor and dielectric constant are known, the scattering amplitude of the Rayleigh scatterer can be calculated. Modeling the insect as a prolate ellipsoid and considering the radar observation of an insect in an arbitrary posture, as Figure 3 shown. The radar polarization plane is plane, and the angle between the direction of the electric field vector and the axis is , so the incident field can be written as: (13) The center of the ellipsoid is located at the beam center, and the semi-axis lengths are , and the corresponding unit vectors are , respectively, and satisfy the right-hand rule. The major axis (red solid line) makes an angle of with the axis, and the projection of the major axis in the plane (red dashed line) makes an angle of with the axis. The unit direction vector of the minor axis makes an angle of with the projection in the axis and . From the geometric relationship, can be expressed as: (14) where , , are the unit vectors of the axis of the antenna polarization plane reference coordinate system, respectively, and and are the proportionality coefficients to ensure that , are unit vectors. Decompose the incident field in the rectangular coordinate system composed of the three axes of the ellipsoid to obtain its components along different axes of the ellipsoid, and are written as: (15)

[0058] (16) (17)

[0059] According to Equation (9), the built-in electric field can be written as the vector superposition of the component of the incident field along the major axis of the ellipsoid and the component perpendicular to the major axis of the ellipsoid, each multiplied by different coefficients: (18) Wherein is the unit direction vector of the built-in electric field, is the amplitude of the built-in electric field. It can be easily seen that is in direct proportion to : (19) Substituting Eqs. (18) and (19) into Eq. (5), we can obtain: (20) Wherein . From Eq. (4), we can write the scattered field as: (21) The radar receiving polarization plane is plane, and the included angle between the direction of the electric field vector and axis is . Thus, the unit direction vector of the received field can be written as: (22) Then the amplitude of the field received by the antenna can be written as: (23) At this time, based on we can obtain the target scattering matrix S as: (24) Wherein is the phase factor. Let , then the elements of matrix S are expressed as: (25) (26) (27) (28) From Figure 2 it can be seen that the angles and determine the attitude of the ellipsoid relative to the antenna polarization coordinate system. Assume that the incident plane wave is along direction. Introduce a coordinate system, called the body coordinate reference system, which is obtained by rotating the antenna polarization coordinate system by three Euler angles , and . First, rotate by an angle of around the axis to obtain The system. Then, rotate around axis by angle to obtain the system. Finally, rotate around axis by angle to obtain the system. When the target is in the case where the axis of symmetry is on the axis, the third angle ( ) can be set to zero, and the "main" reference frame is determined by the angles and . The unit vector of the body reference frame is related to the unit vector of the antenna polarization coordinate system by an Euler transformation as shown in the following equation: (29) Writing equations (25) - (28) in matrix form, they can be uniformly expressed as: (30) where:

[0060] (31) is the projection matrix of the scattered wave field: (32) is the projection matrix of the incident wave field: (33) where , are the electromagnetic and magnetic field directions of the incident wave, , are the electromagnetic and magnetic field directions of the scattered wave.

[0061] At this time, the components of the scattering matrix, that is, the general expressions of equations (25) - (28) can be written as: (34) S3: Calculate the scattering amplitude and the scattering amplitude from the polarization scattering matrix in the oblique flight attitude, so as to reconstruct the polarization scattering matrix of the prolate ellipsoid insect in the level flight attitude; It should be noted that step S3 aims to derive the general expression of the polarization scattering matrix of insects in the oblique flight attitude. Specifically, for prolate ellipsoid insects, there are: , . Assuming that the electromagnetic wave emission and reception directions of a monostatic radar are along the +z axis and -z axis respectively, then there are: (35) Obtain the direction vector of the scatterer from Equation (29): (36) By applying Equations (35) and (36) to Equation (34), the scattering amplitude components are obtained as follows: (37) where and are the scattering components of the prolate spheroid insect along the body axis and perpendicular to the body axis direction, respectively, and can be expressed as: (38) (39) In the case of a monostatic radar, the backscatter alignment (BSA) convention is usually used. Therefore, the backscatter matrix of the prolate spheroid is: (40) From this, the general expression of the polarization scattering matrix of the prolate spheroid insect can be obtained with respect to the attitude angles and in the radar antenna coordinate system.

[0062]

[0063] (41) The scattering matrix of the insect in the level flight attitude when the radar beam is vertically upward and the insect body axis is parallel to the antenna H polarization direction can be expressed as: (42) Therefore, to realize the reconstruction of the scattering matrix of the insect in the platform attitude, that is, it is necessary to solve the scattering amplitudes and of the prolate spheroid insect along the body axis and perpendicular to the body weight direction. According to Equations (37) and (40), the relationships between the four components of the scattering matrix of the obliquely flying insect and and can be established as: (43) Denote the coefficient matrix as 𝐴 and the measured scattering component vector as 𝑏. Therefore, we have: (44) where .

[0064] From this, the scattering amplitudes and , thus reconstructing the scattering matrix of the horizontally flying insect.

[0065] S4: Invert the body size parameters of the obliquely flying insect based on the horizontally flying attitude polarization scattering matrix.

[0066] Finally, based on the restored horizontally flying attitude scattering matrix , the traditional algorithms for estimating insect radar body size parameters (such as the polarization-averaged RCS parameter , the polarization invariant parameter , etc., fitting formulas) can be used to estimate the body size parameters of the insect.

[0067] Based on the measured data of 33 insects in the microwave anechoic chamber, the performance of reconstructing the horizontally flying attitude matrix of the present invention at different antenna observation perspectives at the 9.4 GHz frequency of the traditional insect radar was analyzed. Among them, the antenna observations included 4 azimuth angles (0° / 30° / 60° / 90°) and 5 elevation angles (0° / 5° / 15° / 30° / 45°), a total of 20 combinations of observation perspectives. Taking a certain Spodoptera frugiperda (weight 137.35 mg, body length 16 mm, body width 5 mm) as an example, Figure 4 and Figure 5 respectively show the restoration results of the horizontally flying matrix and . The abscissa represents the serial numbers of different observation perspectives; among them, the estimated average error is 0.44 dB, estimated average error is 0.93 dB. For all 33 insects, the and average absolute errors are less than 1 dB at different perspectives. Using the polarization-averaged RCS parameter to estimate the weight and body length parameters of the insect, the average relative errors are 18.9% and 17.3% respectively. To sum up, generally speaking, the algorithm proposed in the present invention can effectively restore the obliquely flying attitude scattering matrix to the horizontally flying attitude scattering matrix and can achieve high-precision estimation of insect body size parameters.

[0068] To sum up, the present invention discloses an algorithm for estimating the body size parameters of obliquely flying insects based on scattering matrix restoration. This invention can be used for estimating the body size parameters of non-horizontally flying insects and realizes the breakthrough from vertical observation to arbitrary attitude observation for insect body size parameter estimation for the first time. The present invention first calculates the three-dimensional attitude angles and of the insect body axis relative to the radar antenna coordinate system, and then according to the obtained three-dimensional attitude angles and , the scattering matrix measured for the insect at this angle is restored to the scattering matrix in the traditional level flight attitude; finally, the body size parameters of the insect can be estimated based on the body size parameter inversion method for insects in the traditional level flight attitude; based on the measured multi-view data of 33 insects in the microwave anechoic chamber, the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.

[0069] Of course, the present invention may have many other embodiments. Without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, those skilled in the art can certainly make various corresponding changes and deformations according to the present invention. However, these corresponding changes and deformations should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of the present invention.
