Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of long-distance identity recognition and traffic (drone, motor vehicle, non-motor vehicle, etc.) control, and in particular relates to an identity recognition method and device based on electromagnetic control, and an electromagnetic license plate and system. Background Art

[0002] In the modern transportation system, the widespread use of various means of transportation such as drones, motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles and ships has brought great challenges to detection and identification.

[0003] Accurately acquiring the location and identity information of various vehicles is crucial. From a safety perspective, accurately identifying drones in airspace effectively safeguards flight safety. Precisely locating and identifying motor vehicles and non-motor vehicles on land helps maintain road traffic order. Accurately detecting vessels in waters ensures navigation safety. From a traffic management efficiency perspective, effective detection and identification of vehicles facilitates precise control of intelligent transportation systems, rationally allocating road, flight routes, or port resources, alleviating congestion, and improving transportation efficiency.

[0004] At the same time, traditional detection and identification methods are increasingly vulnerable to the current complex regulatory environment. While ground-based radar can acquire target location information, it cannot identify the target and has limitations in detecting small, long-range targets. Video surveillance systems can capture vehicle license plate information, but due to hardware and environmental constraints, the camera's resolution and focal length limit its ability to capture distant targets, resulting in significant deficiencies in long-range detection and identification. In poor lighting conditions or inclement weather, video surveillance image quality degrades dramatically, even rendering it incapable of capturing valid information. While radio frequency identification (RFID) technology can identify objects, it is limited by its range and the additional hardware required to identify them. In RFID, an electronic tag is attached to the object being identified. When the tag enters the magnetic field of the reader's antenna, it activates, limiting the RFID's range. Furthermore, the activated tag transmits its stored information to the reader via a built-in antenna in the form of a radio frequency signal. This means that RFID requires additional antennas and other equipment for identification, placing strict power requirements on these devices.

[0005] As regulatory authorities increasingly demand more intelligent and sophisticated security controls, existing technologies are no longer sufficient to accurately detect and identify drones, motor vehicles, and non-motor vehicles from a distance. Developing a system capable of remotely detecting the distance of controlled objects and accurately identifying their ID codes has become a pressing need to address current security regulatory challenges.

[0049] The present invention is further illustrated below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these examples are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. After reading the present invention, modifications of various equivalent forms of the present invention made by those skilled in the art all fall within the scope defined by the claims attached to this application.

[0050] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, an identity recognition method based on electromagnetic control is provided, which is described by applying the method to an electromagnetic wave processing end, and includes the following steps:

[0051] Step S110: Emitting electromagnetic waves toward the object to be identified and receiving an echo reflected by a time-coding metasurface installed on the object to be identified; the time-coding metasurface is designed according to the identification code assigned to the object to be identified, and modulates the reflected echo with different frequency offsets based on the sequence corresponding to the identification code.

[0052] In this step, the reflected echo can be modulated with different frequency offsets based on the binary coding sequence corresponding to the identification code. It should be understood that the purpose of modulation is to allow the echo to carry the identity information of the identified object. In practical applications, as long as the frequency offset modulation capability of the time-coding metasurface meets the requirements, the binary coding can be extended to any base of coding. For different codes in the sequence corresponding to the identification code, the time-coding metasurface modulates different frequency offsets on the reflected echo. The transmitted electromagnetic wave signal can be a pulse signal. While ensuring the ranging performance, the transmitted signal can also be extended from a pulse signal to an electromagnetic wave signal of any form.

[0053] Step S120: Perform preliminary decoding on the received echo to obtain a sequence, locate the starting segment of the preset sequence, estimate the time delay difference between the metasurface time modulation and the transmitted signal based on the starting segment of the preset sequence, and perform frequency offset compensation on the echo signal based on the sequence and the time delay difference.

[0054] For example, a method for performing preliminary decoding on the received echo to obtain a sequence is to define a sliding window with a length of N sampling points, use the sliding window to perform a sliding search on the echo, use a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain the signal frequency within each sliding window, and determine the sequence corresponding to the modulation based on the frequency deviation.

[0055] In this step, the starting segment of the preset sequence is located, that is, a sliding match is performed between the known preset sequence and the initially decoded sequence to find the portion of the sequence that is identical to the preset sequence.

[0056] In this step, the echo signal is divided into a series of signal blocks according to the modulation period of the time coding metasurface. Assume that the time coding metasurface is T block If the encoding is changed once in time, the length of the echo signal block is T blockIt is assumed that there is a relationship between the emission of electromagnetic waves and the temporal modulation of the metasurface. The delay difference is that there is a first half of the signal block ( ) is modulated by the metasurface on the frequency deviation corresponding to the previous code, and the second half ( ) is modulated by the metasurface and corresponds to the frequency offset of the subsequent code. This offset needs to be compensated for in order to accurately decode and measure distance. The sliding window obtained from the initial decoding is used to search the spectrum corresponding to the start of the preset sequence in the echo signal. The delay difference is estimated based on the frequency hop position within the frequency hop.

[0057] Accordingly, the frequency offset compensation method for each echo signal block is as follows: Assume that the first half of a certain echo signal block ( )The frequency deviation corresponding to the coding c_pre is f pre , the second half ( )The frequency deviation corresponding to the code c_post is f post . Increase the frequency deviation by sampling point in the second half of the signal block ( f pre -f post ).

[0058] Step S130: decoding the identification code of the echo after frequency offset compensation to obtain the identity information of the object to be identified.

[0059] Exemplarily, one method for decoding the identification code of the echo after frequency offset compensation is to perform Fourier transform on each signal block, determine the frequency offset according to the peak position of the Fourier transform, and then determine the code corresponding to the signal block.

[0060] In one embodiment, the provided electromagnetic control-based identity recognition method further includes: step S140, performing ranging using the echo after frequency offset compensation and the decoding result.

[0061] In this step, one method that can be used to measure distance using the echo after frequency offset compensation and the decoding result is: determine the reference signal of each signal block based on the decoding result, use the reference signal of each signal block to correlate with the echo signal block after frequency offset compensation, determine the delay based on the peak position of the correlation function, and convert it into distance.

[0062] The electromagnetically controlled identity recognition method of the above embodiment can identify the identity information of the object to be identified from the echo reflected by the metasurface, thereby realizing accurate identity information acquisition and distance estimation at a long distance.

[0063] The above describes the identity recognition method based on electromagnetic control from the perspective of echo recognition. The following describes the electromagnetic control method of identity information from the perspective of metasurface time modulation.

[0064] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, a method for electromagnetic control of identity information is provided, which is described by applying the method to an object to be identified, and includes the following steps:

[0065] Step S210: assigning a unique identification code to the object to be identified as identity information.

[0066] Step S220: A time-coding metasurface installed on the object to be identified is designed based on the identification code. The time-coding metasurface reflects the electromagnetic waves emitted by the identification terminal and modulates different frequency deviations of the reflected echo based on the sequence corresponding to the identification code, so that the identification terminal can obtain the identity information of the object to be identified based on the reflected echo.

[0067] In step S220, when designing a time-coded metasurface, a preset sequence start segment is added to the beginning of the corresponding sequence of the identification code to find the sequence starting point. The preset sequence start segment is a sequence with values ​​ranging from 0 to M-1, where the values ​​of two adjacent elements are different, and M indicates that the sequence is an M-ary sequence. For example, for a binary sequence, a sequence with 0 / 1 intervals can be added to the beginning.

[0068] The reflection coefficient of the time-coded metasurface varies periodically over time. An example frequency modulation strategy is as follows:

[0069]

[0070] in, t Indicates time, represents the phase component of the reflection coefficient, f 1 to f M is the frequency deviation that the metasurface modulates the reflected echo when corresponding to codes 0 to M-1.

[0071] The electromagnetic control method of identity information in the above embodiment, through the design of the time-coding metasurface, allows the identification object to transmit its own identity information to the identification terminal without actively transmitting signals and without increasing volume and power consumption.

[0072] In traffic control scenarios, the objects to be identified are drones, motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and other controlled objects. The assigned identification code information is the license plate information. The following uses the traffic control scenario as an example to illustrate the design and effectiveness of electromagnetic control-based identity / license plate recognition.

[0073] like Figure 3 As shown, in an embodiment of a new license plate application for traffic control, an identity design and recognition method based on electromagnetic control is provided, including the following steps:

[0074] Step S310: assigning a unique binary identification code to each controlled object (drone, motor vehicle, non-motor vehicle, etc.);

[0075] In step S310 , a unique binary code sequence is generated for the control object, and a sequence of 0 / 1 intervals (such as 1010101) is added to the beginning of the sequence.

[0076] Step S320: Design a time-coded metasurface according to the binary identification code and install it on the managed object.

[0077] In this embodiment, the metasurface reflection coefficient of the time-coded metasurface varies periodically with time, and its time-varying reflection coefficient is modeled as:

[0078]

[0079] in, A ( t )and Represents the reflection coefficient The time-varying amplitude and phase components of . Since the metasurface involved in this embodiment is a phase modulation metasurface, in order to simplify the derivation assumption A ( t ) is a constant, normalized to 1. Based on the binary identification code, the frequency modulation strategy of the metasurface is designed as follows:

[0080]

[0081] in, f 1 is the frequency deviation of the reflected echo modulated by the metasurface.

[0082] In this embodiment, a 12×16 fully phase-modulated programmable metasurface is used to achieve a continuously adjustable reflection phase of 0-360° by dynamically adjusting the bias voltage of the varactor diodes on both sides of the metasurface unit. Figure 4 As shown, the metasurface adopts a multi-layer composite structure design: the top layer is a rectangular patch array with optimized electromagnetic properties; the middle dielectric layer adopts low-loss F4B ( ) substrate; the bottom layer is a floor covered with copper metal. Specific parameters include length L =24mm, width W =12mm, thickness H =5mm, spacing P =5.6mm. In terms of feeding network design, metasurface units in the same column share the same control signal to reduce circuit complexity. Figure 5The measured reflection amplitude and phase curves of the metasurface at a center frequency of 4.25 GHz are shown as a function of bias voltage. The experimental results show that when the bias voltage is linearly adjusted between 0 and 14 V, the dynamic range of the unit reflection phase covers the entire 360° phase space while maintaining a stable reflection amplitude of |Γ| > -3 dB, meeting the application requirements of the metasurface of the present invention.

[0083] Step S330: Utilize the electromagnetic wave transmitting device to transmit a pulse signal to the controlled object.

[0084] Step S340: using an electromagnetic wave receiving device to receive the echo reflected by the control target.

[0085] Step S350: Estimate the time delay difference between the metasurface time modulation and the pulse transmission, and perform compensation correction. Assume that the transmission pulse width is T pulse , there is a relationship between pulse emission and metasurface temporal modulation The delay difference of the first half of the pulse ( ) is modulated by the metasurface on the phase corresponding to the previous encoding, and the second half ( ) is modulated by the metasurface with the phase corresponding to the next encoding. The echo is searched using a sliding window, and every N step sampling points, select N slide The signal of the length is converted into the frequency domain to determine its center frequency. Preliminary decoding is performed according to the frequency in the search result to obtain a roughly decoded binary sequence. Find the part in the sequence that is the same as the known preset sequence (0 / 1 interval sequence), that is, locate the beginning of the original sequence. At the same time, based on the frequency hopping position in the search result, estimate the delay difference, that is, based on the part corresponding to the 0 / 1 interval sequence in the search result, average the delay difference corresponding to the frequency hopping position in each signal block. Based on the estimated delay difference And the sequence obtained by coarse decoding, each echo pulse is compensated: if the previous code corresponding to the echo pulse is 0 and the next code is 1, then in the second half Increase -2 f 1 frequency deviation; if the previous code corresponding to the echo pulse is 1 and the next code is 0, then in the second half Increase 2 f If the previous and subsequent codes are consistent, the pulse does not need to be compensated.

[0086] Step S360: Decode the identification code of the echo after frequency offset compensation. Perform Fourier transform on each pulse, determine the frequency offset based on the Fourier transform peak position, and then determine the binary code corresponding to the pulse.

[0087] Step S370: perform ranging based on the echo after frequency offset compensation and the decoding result. First, determine the reference signal of each pulse based on the decoding result, that is, the radar transmission signal superimposed with the corresponding frequency offset ( f 1 or - f 1). The reference signal of each pulse is correlated with the frequency offset compensated echo pulse, and the time delay is determined based on the peak position of the correlation function and converted into distance.

[0088] Step S380: Obtain the distance information and identification code of the controlled object. Remove the leading sequence from the binary code obtained in step S360 to obtain the binary identification code of the controlled object. Average the distance measurement results for each pulse in step S370 to obtain the distance between the controlled object and the electromagnetic wave transceiver.

[0089] In summary, the electromagnetic control-based identity design and recognition method of this embodiment uses a metasurface structure such as Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the measured reflection amplitude and phase of the metasurface at the center frequency of 4.25 GHz vary with the bias voltage. Figure 5 shown. Figure 6 is the intensity of the echo reflected by the metasurface at different angles. "Modulation Code 1" indicates the echo intensity when the metasurface is at the phase corresponding to Modulation Code 1, "Modulation Code 0" indicates the echo intensity when the metasurface is at the phase corresponding to Modulation Code 0, and "Metal Surface" indicates that the metasurface is inactive and only reflects the echo intensity of a metal plate. This embodiment can effectively enhance radar echoes and improve the detection probability of controlled targets. Figure 7 This is a distance measurement effect diagram in this embodiment, where the control target is at a distance of 4000m. As can be seen, this embodiment can effectively obtain the distance information of the control target. Figure 8 This is a diagram showing the decoding effect in this embodiment. It can be seen that this embodiment accurately decodes the binary identity identification code of the controlled object.
