Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of target detection, and particularly relates to a target detection method, device and electronic device under a strong clutter background. Background Art
[0002] The phased array radar on a moving platform has the advantages of large detectable range, strong mobility, and the ability to detect low-altitude targets, and plays an increasingly important role in the current increasingly complex war environment. When the radar dives to pursue a target, it will receive three parts of signals, namely noise, environmental clutter, and the target. Among them, the environmental clutter has a great impact on the detection performance of the radar system. In the overlooking search state of the radar, the clutter intensity is large, and the relative movement between the moving platform and the ground clutter unit in different azimuth dimensions will cause the received clutter signal to show Doppler dimension expansion in the RD (Range Doppler) spectrum, and the radar beam irradiating different elevation dimensions on the ground will cause the clutter signal to show range dimension expansion in the RD spectrum. Due to the serious broadening of the clutter signal in the Doppler dimension and range dimension of the RD spectrum, especially the range dimension broadening is serious, it poses a huge challenge to the radar to achieve target detection. Therefore, researching a target detection algorithm suitable for the clutter background has very important engineering implementation value.
[0003] The traditional radar target detection methods mainly include the moving target indication method and the sliding window mean method. Among them, the moving target indication method is only applicable to the situation where there is no relative movement between the clutter and the moving platform, and the clutter is distributed at the position where the Doppler frequency is 0, and it is not applicable to the target detection in the scenario where the moving platform dives to pursue a target and encounters ground clutter. The sliding window mean method selects the surrounding window in each unit in the RD spectrum, calculates its mean value and then compares it with the noise. If the mean value is less than the noise, it is determined that the unit is neither a target nor clutter, and the window continues to slide to judge the next unit; if the mean value is greater than the noise, it is initially judged as a target, and if the sliding window mean value is greater than the noise at multiple consecutive units, it is determined as clutter. However, this method is only applicable to the RD spectrum with weak clutter intensity, and not serious expansion in the range dimension and velocity dimension. When it is necessary to detect a target in the RD spectrum with large clutter intensity and serious expansion in the Doppler dimension and range dimension, due to the serious expansion of the clutter, it affects the amplitude of the RD spectrum unit, and then seriously affects the sliding window mean value, ultimately resulting in the failure of target detection. In addition, when the number of points in the RD spectrum is too large, the operation time of the sliding window mean method will also increase exponentially, making it difficult to meet the real-time requirement of engineering implementation.
[0004] In summary, the existing algorithms are restricted by the position of the clutter in the Doppler dimension of the RD spectrum, and cannot achieve target detection in the scenario with large clutter intensity and relatively serious expansion in the range dimension and Doppler dimension; and the algorithms are time-consuming and it is difficult to meet the real-time requirement of engineering implementation.

Detailed Embodiments
[0012] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0013] The first aspect of the present invention provides a target detection method under a strong clutter background. Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 which is a schematic flowchart of a target detection method under a strong clutter background provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The method mainly includes the following steps: Step 1: Obtain the echo data of the moving platform radar and perform pulse compression processing to obtain the data after pulse compression containing clutter, target, and noise.
[0014] Specifically, first, receive the echo signal within one coherent accumulation frame of the moving platform radar; among them, one frame of data includes 64 pulses, each pulse collects 1024 points, for a total of point data.
[0015] Then, perform pulse compression processing on the received radar echo signal to obtain the data after pulse compression containing clutter, target, and noise. Among them, the formula for pulse compression is: ; In the formula, represents the pulse compression result, represents the radar echo data, represents the for Fourier transform, represents the radar transmit signal, represents the for Fourier transform and conjugate transpose, represents the inverse Fourier transform.
[0016] Step 2: Perform MTD processing on the data after pulse compression to obtain a two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum.
[0017] The MTD (Moving Target Detection) algorithm is a radar signal processing technology for detecting moving targets. This method identifies the motion state of targets by analyzing the Doppler shift and related characteristics in the radar echo signal. First, the received echo signal is subjected to a fast Fourier transform (FFT) in the Doppler dimension to separate target signals with different velocities. Then, by analyzing the FFT results, the radial velocity of each target is calculated. For the specific implementation process of the MTD algorithm, reference can be made to existing related technologies, and this embodiment will not be described in detail here.
[0018] In this embodiment, after performing MTD processing on the pulse-compressed data, a two-dimensional data matrix is obtained. Each data point in this matrix corresponds to an amplitude, and the corresponding three-dimensional graph is the RD spectrum.
[0019] It can be understood that since in step 1, the echo signals within one coherent accumulation frame obtained include point data, after MTD processing, the size of the obtained two-dimensional data matrix is also ; where 64 represents 64 velocity dimensions, corresponding to the rows of the matrix, that is, one row represents one velocity dimension; 1024 represents 1024 distance dimensions, corresponding to the columns of the matrix, that is, one column represents one distance dimension.
[0020] Step 3: Based on the distribution characteristics of clutter on the RD spectrum, perform normalization processing on the data of different distance dimensions in the two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum to obtain a normalized data matrix.
[0021] Specifically, based on the distribution characteristic that clutter is more severely broadened in the distance dimension of the RD spectrum, in this embodiment, data normalization processing is performed on the amplitudes of 64 point units in the same distance dimension of the two-dimensional data matrix obtained in step 2, and this processing operation is performed separately for each distance dimension to obtain the final normalization result. Specifically as follows: First, calculate the average value and standard deviation of the data of each distance dimension in the two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum. The calculation formulas are: ; ; In the formula, represents the average value of the data of one distance dimension, that is, the average value of the data in the same column, represents the number of velocity dimensions. In this embodiment, it is 64, that is, the number of rows of the two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum, represents the th data point of one distance dimension, represents the standard deviation of the data of one distance dimension; Then, based on the average value and the standard deviation, the data in the corresponding distance dimension is standardized to obtain a standardized data matrix; the formula for the standardization process is: ; In the formula, represents the data point after standardization. This data shows the degree of deviation of the data point relative to the mean value in units of the standard deviation.
[0022] In this embodiment, the above standardization operation is performed on 64 data points in the same column of the two-dimensional data matrix obtained in step 2. The same operation process is performed on different columns, and each data point is converted to its position relative to the mean value of the data set and scaled according to the standard deviation to adjust data with different ranges and scales to a unified scale, thereby eliminating the influence of the dimension between different data features and reducing the influence of strong clutter with too high amplitude on target detection.
[0023] It can be understood that since the amplitudes in the same distance dimension after the standardization transformation are in the same dimension, the influence of the expansion of clutter in the Doppler dimension on target detection can be suppressed.
[0024] Step 4: Construct a connected domain for the standardized data matrix.
[0025] First, the standardized data matrix obtained in step 3 is grouped by rows. Each data point of each pixel is compared with a first preset threshold. If the data point of the current pixel is less than the first preset threshold, the pixel is marked as 0; otherwise, the pixel is marked as 1. If the number of continuously marked 0 pixels in a certain row is less than the preset quantity, all the continuously marked 0 pixels are modified to 1, and finally a first marking matrix, denoted as matrix_A, is formed.
[0026] Optionally, as an implementation method, since the amplitude of the target in the RD spectrum gradually increases as the radar gets closer to the target, in this embodiment, some adaptive adjustments can be made when setting the first preset threshold. For example, when the initial scene radar is 6000 m away from the target, the first preset threshold is set to the mean value of the standardized data matrix (the mean value is 0 at this time). As the radar gets closer to the target, the threshold should be appropriately increased.
[0027] It should be noted that in the process of forming the first marking matrix, in this embodiment, all independent pixel points with the number of continuously marked 0 pixels in each row less than the preset quantity (for example, it can be 2 or 3) are modified to 1 to facilitate connection with the pixels marked as 1.
[0028] It can be understood that the pixels marked as 1 can be tentatively determined as targets, while the pixels marked as 0 can be directly excluded.
[0029] Then, pixel connection is performed on the first marking matrix based on 4-connectivity to form several connected regions.
[0030] Specifically, for the pixels marked as 1, when the pixels adjacent to it in the four directions of up, down, left, and right are 1, they are regarded as connected to this pixel, so that the pixels marked as 1 in the first marking matrix are divided into several connected regions.
[0031] Step 5: Based on the area of each connected region, determine the clutter region in the RD spectrum, and eliminate the clutter region to obtain a data matrix containing targets and noise.
[0032] First, calculate the area of each connected region marked as 1 and compare it with the second preset threshold: if it exceeds the second preset threshold, then determine this connected region as the clutter region in the RD spectrum.
[0033] Optionally, in this embodiment, the area of each connected region can be understood as the number of pixels in this connected region. When it is less than the second preset threshold, it is initially determined as a target or noise. If the area of this connected region is greater than the second preset threshold, it can be considered that this region is a clutter region.
[0034] It should be noted that as the radar gets closer and closer to the target, the target will occupy more and more pixel points in the RD spectrum. Therefore, when setting the second preset threshold in this embodiment, some adaptive adjustments can be made.
[0035] Optionally, as an implementation method, the initial scene radar is 6000m away from the target, and the second preset threshold is 20; as the radar gets closer and closer to the target and the target occupies more and more pixel points in the RD spectrum, this threshold can be appropriately increased.
[0036] Then, modify the labels of all connected regions determined as clutter regions to 0 to eliminate the clutter region and obtain a data matrix containing only targets and noise, denoted as the second marking matrix, represented as matrix_B.
[0037] Step 6: Based on the data matrix containing targets and noise, perform target aggregation to achieve target detection.
[0038] Specifically, multiply the second marking matrix obtained in step 5 by the two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum obtained in step 2. Denote the resulting matrix as matrix_C. Perform target condensation on this matrix and observe whether the target can be detected. If the target can be detected, considering that noise may become a false target, determine the one with the largest amplitude as the target. If there are multiple targets, several targets with the largest amplitudes can be determined as targets according to the specific situation, and output the speed and distance information of the targets.
[0039] It should be noted that for the specific implementation process of target condensation, reference can be made to the existing related technologies, and this embodiment will not elaborate on it here.
[0040] Further, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is a schematic flowchart of another target detection method under strong clutter background provided by the embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the method further includes: if no target information is detected in step 6, modify the radar transmission waveform parameters and return to step 1 to re-perform target detection.
[0041] Specifically, due to the characteristic of clutter in spectrum broadening, target information may be submerged in the clutter, and step 6 may not be able to detect the target information. At this time, the frequency of the radar transmission waveform can be reduced, thereby reducing the maximum unambiguous speed and further improving the resolution in the Doppler dimension. By improving the resolution in the Doppler dimension, the broadened part of the clutter in the Doppler dimension can be made more refined, separating the target from the position units where the strong clutter broadens in the Doppler dimension. Then, obtain the radar echo data of the next frame of the moving platform and perform the data processing flow from step 1 to step 6, so as to achieve target detection under strong clutter background.
[0042] A target detection method under strong clutter background provided by the present invention first performs pulse compression processing and MTD processing on the obtained radar echo data to obtain a two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum; then performs standardization processing on the data in different range dimensions of the two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum, and constructs connected domains for the standardized data matrix; then determines the clutter regions in the RD spectrum according to the area of each connected domain, and eliminates the clutter regions to obtain a data matrix containing only targets and noise; finally, based on the data matrix containing only targets and noise, perform target condensation to achieve target detection. This method uses the characteristic that the clutter range dimension expands severely to perform range dimension standardization to distinguish clutter and targets, so as to perform target detection. When there is relative motion between the clutter and the radar, it can ignore the position of the clutter in the Doppler dimension of the RD spectrum and still eliminate the clutter in the RD spectrum to find the target. It is applicable to target detection in scenarios where the clutter intensity is large and the range dimension and Doppler dimension expand relatively severely; and the algorithm is simple and easy to understand, with small time consumption and easy to implement in engineering, and can meet the engineering real-time requirements.
[0043] The following is a verification and description of a target detection method proposed by the present invention under a strong clutter background through simulation experiments.
[0044] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 , which is the range-Doppler 3D map of a moving platform diving and pursuing a target provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Among them, multiple targets have been marked in Figure 3 , Figure 3 . In the velocity dimension coordinate of , the interval from 20 to 35 is clutter. It can be observed that the clutter expands severely in the range dimension and Doppler dimension, especially in the range dimension, spanning the entire maximum unambiguous range.
[0045] Figure 4 is the result map after normalizing the two-dimensional data matrix of the RD spectrum obtained by MTD processing column by column according to an embodiment of the present invention. From the coordinate amplitude, it can be seen that after the normalization processing in the range dimension, the amplitudes of the target and clutter are adjusted to a unified scale, the clutter amplitude decreases, and the target amplitude increases. Thus, a connected domain can be constructed from the normalization result to remove the clutter and achieve target detection.
[0046] Thus, the effectiveness of the present invention is verified.
