Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radar signal processing, and particularly to a terahertz ISAR imaging joint compensation method, device, equipment, and medium. Background Art

[0002] Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is proposed relative to Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR), mainly for imaging non-cooperative targets such as ships, aircraft, and satellites, and has characteristics such as all-weather, all-time, and obtaining high-resolution imaging of targets over long distances. The key step in ISAR imaging lies in translational compensation, that is, compensating for the radial motion of the target relative to the Radar Line of Sight (RLOS), so that the target only rotates around the equivalent rotation center relative to the radar.

[0003] Slow targets in traditional scenarios are usually imaged using the walk-stop model, that is, considering that the target is stationary relative to the radar within the time of a single pulse emitted by the radar, and there is only range walk between different pulses emitted by the radar. For high-speed space targets such as satellites, the walk-stop model is no longer applicable. In addition to inter-pulse compensation, intra-pulse compensation of the echo also needs to be considered, otherwise it will greatly affect the ISAR imaging quality.

[0004] Terahertz (THz) waves refer to electromagnetic waves with a frequency range between 0.1 THz and 10 THz, located between microwaves and infrared, and in the transition frequency band from electronics to photonics. Compared with infrared and lasers, terahertz waves have advantages such as good smoke and dust penetration and low sensitivity to aero-optical effects, and can be used for combat in complex environments and space target detection. At the same time, compared with the microwave frequency band, terahertz waves have a shorter wavelength and a larger bandwidth, and have important application value in the application scenario of radar high-resolution imaging. However, at the same time, compared with radars in the microwave frequency band, when a terahertz radar performs ISAR imaging, its higher range resolution also leads to a more serious intra-pulse Doppler phenomenon caused by the high-speed movement of the imaging target. Severe intra-pulse Doppler modulation will cause frequency offset and defocusing in the range image, affecting the subsequent imaging effect. Summary of the Invention

[0037] Embodiment 1

[0038] This embodiment discloses a terahertz ISAR imaging joint compensation method. Through a two-step compensation strategy of coarse compensation and fine compensation, it can effectively eliminate the adverse effects such as frequency offset and defocus caused by target movement, and has higher compensation accuracy. As a result, when finally imaging, the target can be focused more accurately, improving the image resolution and clarity. Among them, in the coarse compensation stage, the extracted echo data is used for fractional Fourier transform, which can reduce the data processing time; the mutation error elimination and least squares fitting are used, which can effectively remove the interference data and obtain more accurate rough estimated motion parameters; by calculating the rough joint compensation function through the rough estimated motion parameters and the radial displacement difference, the echo distortion caused by target movement can be initially corrected, making the echo data more conducive to subsequent processing. In the fine compensation stage, taking the rough estimated motion parameters as the iterative initial value and the synthetic waveform entropy as the fitness function, not only can the accuracy of motion parameter estimation be greatly improved, but also the parameter search range in the fine compensation can be restricted, accelerating the convergence of the GWO algorithm, with higher calculation efficiency, and it can achieve more accurate motion compensation in a shorter time, and has better adaptability and robustness.

[0039] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the terahertz ISAR imaging joint compensation method provided in this embodiment includes the following steps:

[0040] Step 201, obtain the echo data of the target.

[0041] Step 202, extract the echo data, then perform fractional Fourier transform on the extracted echo data, and then perform mutation error elimination and least squares fitting to obtain the rough estimated motion parameters.

[0042] Step 203: Solve the radial displacement difference between adjacent echoes caused by translational motion based on the roughly estimated motion parameters; then calculate the rough combined compensation function according to the roughly estimated motion parameters and the radial displacement difference.

[0043] Step 204: Perform rough combined compensation on the target echo data through the rough combined compensation function to obtain the roughly compensated echo data.

[0044] Step 205: Solve the synthetic waveform entropy based on the roughly compensated echo data; then use the roughly estimated motion parameters as the initial iteration value and the synthetic waveform entropy as the fitness function, and perform iterative optimization through the GWO algorithm to obtain the precisely compensated echo data.

[0045] Step 206: Perform direction Fourier transform on the precisely compensated echo data and output the final two-dimensional ISAR image.

[0046] In the specific implementation process of Step 201, the Dechirp echo data of the moving target can be expressed as:

[0047] ;

[0048] Let:

[0049] ;

[0050] ;

[0051] ;

[0052] Then the echo data can be simplified to:

[0053] ;

[0054] Furthermore, the second and third terms of the exponential term in the target dechirped received data do not contain fast time , and it is briefly recorded as a constant exponential term . Then the final expression of the echo data is:

[0055] ;

[0056] In the formula, represents the data form after Dechirp processing of a single scatter point and a single echo; represents the data of a single scatter point and a single echo; represents the conjugate form of the reference signal in the Dechirp process; represents the attenuation coefficient of the scatter point echo; represents the amplitude of the transmitted signal; represents the target at The radial velocity of the target relative to the radar at a certain time; Denotes the reference distance during Dechirp processing; Denotes the radar signal wavelength; Denotes the conjugate operation; Denotes the fast time; Denotes the slow time; Denotes the distance from the radar to the target at the moment of each pulse emission; Denotes the pulse repetition period; Denotes the imaginary unit; 、 、 Denotes an intermediate quantity; Denotes the constant exponential term; Denotes the speed of light; Denotes the chirp rate of the transmitted radar signal (LFM signal).

[0057] In the specific implementation process of step 202, in order to improve the operation efficiency, it is only necessary to extract a finite-length LFM signal for fractional Fourier transform (FrFT). Preferably, generally the first half of the echo is extracted for calculation.

[0058] Specifically, a rotation angle is preset; based on the rotation angle the extracted echo data is subjected to fractional Fourier transform along the fast time domain, and the process expression is:

[0059] ;

[0060] Then, according to the relationship between the rotation angle and the chirp rate :

[0061] ;

[0062] ;

[0063] a joint solution is carried out to obtain the radial motion velocity of the target.

[0064] In the formula, denotes the result of fractional Fourier transform; denotes the fractional frequency domain; denotes the normalization factor.

[0065] It can be seen that when a suitable rotation angle is selected for FrFT, the influence of the chirp term is removed, so that a well-focused one-dimensional range image can be obtained.

[0066] Then, to solve the problem of large estimation error of the FrFT method, the method of "eliminating mutation error + least square fitting" is adopted to improve the fitting accuracy of target motion parameters.

[0067] Specifically, by performing mutation error elimination and least square fitting on the radial motion velocity of the target the rough estimated motion parameters are finally obtained, including:

[0068] First, mutation error elimination is performed on the radial motion velocity of the target including:

[0069] For the fractional Fourier transform is performed on the th echo to solve the radial motion velocity of the target at the th echo.

[0070] An empirical value is set. If there exists such that and where then let to complete error elimination.

[0071] Then, least square fitting is performed on the radial motion velocity of the target after error elimination including:

[0072] For the discrete velocity-time observation sequence assuming it follows the parametric model the target minimizes the sum of squared residuals to obtain the rough estimated motion parameters , , .

[0073] In the formula, represents the number of pulses within the coherent integration time (assumed to be even); represents the radial motion velocity of the target at the th echo; represents the radial motion velocity of the target at the th echo; represents the parametric first-order term coefficient with respect to slow time; represents the parametric second-order term coefficient with respect to slow time; represents the estimated velocity at the th echo; represents the rough estimated initial velocity; represents the rough estimated acceleration; represents the rough estimated jerk.

[0074] In the specific implementation process of step 203, based on the rough estimated motion parameters obtained in step 202 , , , let:

[0075] ;

[0076] Based on this, the radial displacement difference between adjacent echoes caused solely by translational motion can be obtained, and the calculation expression is:

[0077] ;

[0078] In the formula, represents the radial displacement difference between adjacent echoes; represents the slow time at the th echo.

[0079] Based on the above analysis, the first compensation function and the second compensation function required for in-pulse compensation of the moving target can be obtained;

[0080] Among them, the expression of the first compensation function is:

[0081] ;

[0082] The expression of the second compensation function is:

[0083] ;

[0084] In the formula, represents the distance from the radar to the target at the moment of each pulse emission; represents the chirp rate of the transmitted radar signal; represents the fast time; represents the radial velocity of the target relative to the radar at ; represents the speed of light;

[0085] Since both in-pulse and inter-pulse compensations rely on the estimation of target motion parameters, therefore, the required joint compensation function is denoted as a whole as , then multiplying the target echo data by the joint compensation function can complete the in-pulse and inter-pulse joint compensation. That is, in the rough compensation stage, based on the rough estimated motion parameters, the radial displacement difference, the first compensation function and the second compensation function, the rough joint compensation function for the target motion parameters is obtained and expressed as .

[0086] In the specific implementation process of step 204, the target echo data is roughly jointly compensated by the rough joint compensation function to obtain the roughly compensated echo data, and the expression is:

[0087] ;

[0088] Among them,

[0089] ;

[0090] In the formula, represents the one-dimensional range profile after combined coarse compensation in intra-pulse and inter-pulse; represents the one-dimensional range profile after intra-pulse coarse compensation; represents the displacement caused by target translational motion; represents the frequency domain; represents the range walk caused by target translational motion; represents the range walk caused by target rotational motion.

[0091] In the specific implementation process of step 205, first determine the fine combined compensation function for target motion parameters.

[0092] According to the coarsely estimated motion parameters , , , obtain the displacement caused by target translational motion, and the expression is:

[0093] ;

[0094] According to the displacement caused by target translational motion, perform range Fourier transform on the coarsely compensated echo data obtained in step 204, which is expressed as:

[0095] ;

[0096] Perform discretization processing on the above formula to obtain:

[0097] ;

[0098] For the convenience of expression, let:

[0099] ;

[0100] Then the simplified expression is:

[0101] ;

[0102] In the formula, represents the single scatter point and single echo data after combined compensation; represents the discretized ; represents the range sampling rate; represents the number of range sampling points; Denote an arbitrary sampling point in the range direction; Denote the pulse frequency of the radar transmitted signal; Denote the sampling pulse in the azimuth direction.

[0103] is the echo data format after intra-pulse and inter-pulse compensation for a single scatterer and single echo. For scatterers, the storage format of the echo data is expressed as:

[0104] ;

[0105] In the formula, Denote scatterers, the echo data within the coherent integration time; Denote the number of received pulses.

[0106] Based on the above analysis, during the fine compensation process, use to denote the one-dimensional range image after translational compensation, where Denote taking the absolute value.

[0107] Express the motion parameters to be estimated during the fine compensation process as:

[0108] ;

[0109] Then during the fine compensation process, the fine joint compensation function can be further written as , and the one-dimensional range image after fine joint compensation can be expressed as .

[0110] Drawing on the concept of waveform entropy, sum the one-dimensional range images of each pulse by rows after synthesis (in actual processing, generally the column direction is the range direction and the row direction is the azimuth direction), so as to obtain the entropy value of the synthesized waveform. If during intra-pulse compensation, the broadening of the main lobe is well corrected, the peak is more prominent, and during inter-pulse compensation, the envelope alignment is well completed, then the peaks will be superimposed on each other, and the synthesized waveform will be more "sharpened", that is, the waveform entropy value is lower; conversely, if the intra-pulse and inter-pulse compensation is not well completed, it will cause the peaks to be staggered from each other, and the envelope of the synthesized waveform will be more "flat", that is, the waveform entropy value is higher. Denote the synthesized waveform as , then should be a column vector, and for an arbitrary sampling point in the range direction, the synthesized waveform has the following relationship:

[0111] ;

[0112] Assume the synthesized range vector , normalize the values of this range vector to , that is, the value of each unit after normalization is , and there is , at this time, it has the property of similar probability, and the synthetic waveform entropy can be expressed as:

[0113] ;

[0114] When solving for any element in it, in order to achieve the best estimation, it is necessary to make:

[0115] ;

[0116] In the formula, represents any sampling point in the range direction; represents the joint compensation function; takes values of , , .

[0117] When using the synthetic waveform entropy as the fitness function, the initial waveform entropy is solved based on the coarsely compensated echo data, and the joint compensation function is the coarse joint compensation function , and the initial waveform entropy is used as the initial fitness function for iteration; in the iterative optimization process, the synthetic waveform entropy is solved based on the finely compensated echo data, and the joint compensation function is the fine joint compensation function .

[0118] After obtaining the coarsely estimated motion parameters and the synthetic waveform entropy, using the coarsely estimated motion parameters as the initial value of iteration and the synthetic waveform entropy as the fitness function, iterative optimization is carried out through the GWO algorithm to obtain the finely compensated echo data.

[0119] It can be understood that in the GWO algorithm, in order to mathematically simulate the social hierarchy of wolves, the optimal solution is defined as for simulating the position of the leading wolf, the sub-optimal solution and the second sub-optimal solution are respectively named and , for simulating the positions of the second-order wolf and the third-order wolf. The remaining candidate solutions are assumed to be , for simulating the position of the subordinate wolf. In the GWO algorithm, hunting (solving) is guided by wolves, wolves and wolves, and wolves follow these three wolves to change their own positions. In this embodiment, the coarsely estimated motion parameters in the coarse compensation stage limit the search range of parameters in the iterative process, accelerating the convergence speed of GWO and having higher compensation efficiency. In addition, iterative optimization through the GWO algorithm is a conventional technical means and will not be elaborated here.

[0120] In the specific implementation process of step 206, before performing the azimuth Fourier transform on the fine-compensated echo data, it is also necessary to perform phase fine calibration PGA on the fine-compensated echo data to correct the phase error and achieve image autofocus.

[0121] In one of the embodiments, a simulation experiment is carried out to verify the method provided by the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the satellite model used in the experiment consists of 544 scatterers.

[0122] The simulation parameters used are shown in Table 1:

[0123] Table 1 Radar and target simulation parameters

[0124]

[0125] In the experiment, 512 echoes are taken for processing. The one-dimensional range profile of the target after the first-step coarse compensation is as Figure 3 shown.

[0126] It is found that the envelope alignment effect is poor and cannot meet the subsequent imaging requirements. Set the number of gray wolf populations to 30 and the number of iterations to 50 times. Based on the same roughly estimated motion parameters , , Compare the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) with the method proposed by the present invention. In the particle swarm algorithm, the number of particles is also set to 30 and the number of iterations is 50 times, and the search range is controlled the same. The comparison chart of the iterative optimization results of the two algorithms is as Figure 4 shown. It can be seen from the curves of the method proposed by the present invention and PSO that when iterating 5 times, there is a large change in the entropy value of the synthesized waveform of the one-dimensional range profile, but neither of them reaches the optimal value. When iterating to about the 8th time, the PSO algorithm tends to be flat but fails to reach the optimal solution; the method proposed by the present invention begins to tend to be flat at the 20th iteration and approaches the optimal value. It shows that compared with the two algorithms, the method proposed by the present invention can converge faster and has a better final convergence effect.

[0127] Use the fine joint compensation function after 50 iterations to complete the intra-pulse and inter-pulse joint compensation of the target. The one-dimensional range profile is as Figure 5 shown.

[0128] The two-dimensional ISAR imaging results of the echo data after the intra-pulse and inter-pulse compensation of the two algorithms are as Figure 6 shown. At the same time, record the operation time of the two algorithms iterating 50 times and the contrast of the final imaging results as shown in Table 2.

[0129] Table 2 Comparison of algorithm effects

[0130]

[0131] It can be seen that the method proposed by the present invention takes less time, has higher calculation efficiency, and has higher contrast in the two-dimensional ISAR image and better compensation accuracy.

[0132] Although each step in this embodiment Figure 1 is shown in sequence according to the indication of the arrow, these steps do not necessarily need to be executed in the order indicated by the arrow. Unless there is a clear description in the present invention, the execution of these steps has no strict order limit, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, Figure 1 at least a part of the steps in
