Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radar imaging, and particularly to a high-precision squint InISAR three-dimensional imaging method applicable to a small array antenna. Background Art

[0002] High-resolution radar imaging technology has important applications in fields such as environmental situation awareness and target recognition. The traditional ISAR (Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) imaging technology can obtain high-resolution two-dimensional images of observed targets. However, its two-dimensional imaging method has many limitations. On the one hand, it can only provide two-dimensional projection images of the target and cannot directly reflect the true three-dimensional structure of the target. On the other hand, the imaging result depends on the image projection plane, resulting in significant changes in the imaging result of the same target at different observation angles, increasing the complexity and uncertainty of target recognition.

[0003] To address the above problems, in recent years, InISAR (Interferometric Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) technology has received extensive attention. This technology can obtain the three-dimensional structure information of the target without complex signal processing means and long-term continuous observation, and is insensitive to target attitude changes, thus being able to provide more comprehensive and stable shape and structure information for target recognition. Currently, the research on InISAR technology mainly focuses on key issues such as image registration, phase reconstruction, and squint correction.

[0004] In practical applications, since the RLOS (Radar Line of Sight) may not always be perpendicular to the antenna baseline, there is a certain squint angle, that is, the squint mode, which introduces additional squint distortion into the three-dimensional imaging of the target and affects the three-dimensional reconstruction accuracy. To overcome this problem, some scholars have proposed a squint InISAR imaging method based on NLS-CT (Nonlinear Least Square-Coordinates Transform) to achieve squint distortion correction through iterative optimization. Another study has proposed a squint InISAR imaging algorithm based on prominent points, but this method uses the same reference distance for different antenna echoes, which easily leads to the problem of image mismatch, and the phase unwrapping algorithm borrowed from the InSAR field has poor adaptability to the application scenarios of InISAR.

[0005] At present, antenna arrays have been widely used in many fields due to their multi-channel structure, and InISAR technology can also be applied to such radar systems. However, in application scenarios such as missile-borne and airborne, due to the limitation of the size of the carrier platform, the antenna baseline length is usually short, resulting in a decrease in the accuracy of interferometric measurement, which in turn affects the imaging quality. Existing InISAR methods mainly rely on interferometric measurement to obtain the height and azimuth information of the target, and the interferometric phase is easily affected by noise. Especially under the condition of short baselines, it is difficult to guarantee the imaging accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a high-precision squint InISAR three-dimensional imaging method applicable to small array antennas, which improves the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal through sub-array division and signal synthesis technology, and optimizes the traditional non-linear least squares squint correction method, which can effectively solve the challenges faced by squint InISAR imaging in the environment of short baselines and affected by noise, and improve the accuracy and reliability of the reconstruction of the observed target.

[0078] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.

[0079] To achieve the above object, the present invention proposes a high-precision squint InISAR three-dimensional imaging method applicable to a small array antenna. First, the azimuth dimension information of the observed target is extracted from the ISAR two-dimensional imaging results with strong noise robustness; subsequently, the azimuth dimension information and the range dimension information are accurately corrected by using coordinate transformation; finally, the corrected data is substituted into the iterative optimization process, and the three-dimensional coordinate estimation value of the observed target is finally obtained. As Figure 1 shown, the specific steps are as follows:

[0080] S1. Based on the squint InISAR imaging system of the small array antenna, establish the corresponding geometric structure and echo signal model, divide the array antenna into sub-arrays and synthesize the echo signals, regard the obtained synthesized echo signal as the echo signal obtained by the equivalent antenna located at the center of the sub-array through self-transmitting and self-receiving, and perform imaging processing on the synthesized echo signal to obtain the ISAR two-dimensional imaging results of each sub-array signal; the specific content is:

[0081] S101. As Figure 2 shown, in the geometric structure, the geometric center O of the array antenna is the origin, the radar coordinate system is OXYZ, all the array antennas are distributed in the XOZ plane, the element spacing is d, and the radar coordinate system is used as the global coordinate system.

[0082] Under the far-field condition, with the geometric center o of the observed target as the origin, establish an observed target body coordinate system oxyz parallel to the radar coordinate system, and the position of the observed target center o in the radar coordinate system is (X 0 , Y 0 , Z 0), the distance between the center o of the observation target and the origin O of the radar coordinate system is denoted as R 0 , Define as the elevation angle, θ is the azimuth angle, θ = arctan(Y 0 / Z 0 ); The observation target rotates uniformly around the z-axis with an angular velocity ω.

[0083] Taking RLOS (Radar Line of Sight) as the range axis v, an imaging observation coordinate system ouvw is established. uov is the IPP (Image Projection Plane), and the w-axis is perpendicular to the image projection plane. The coordinate system ouv'w is an auxiliary coordinate system introduced for subsequent coordinate transformation.

[0084] S102. Set the transmitting antenna of the array antenna to transmit an LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) signal, and then establish an echo signal model. The specific expression is:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, represents the echo signal transmitted by the transmitting antenna; j represents the imaginary unit; represents the fast time; t m represents the slow time, t m = m·PRT, PRT represents the pulse repetition interval, m represents the pulse number, 0 ≤ m < M, M represents the total number of pulses; rect() represents the rectangular envelope of the echo signal; T p represents the pulse width; f c represents the carrier frequency of the transmitted signal; t represents the total time, γ represents the frequency modulation slope of the LFM signal.

[0087] Assume that the observation target is an ideal scatterer model composed of P scatterers. There is an ideal scatterer p on the target, and its position in the target body coordinate system oxyz is (x p , y p , z p ), and the scattering coefficient is σ p . Ignoring the amplitude change, the expression of the echo signal received by the receiving antenna from the p-th strong scatterer is:

[0088]

[0089] Among them, represents the echo signal received by the receiving antenna, R t (tm ) represents the instantaneous distance from the p-th strong scattering point to the transmitting antenna at time t, R m ; and R r (t m ) represents the instantaneous distance from the p-th strong scattering point to the receiving antenna at time t, c represents the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves. m Image registration plays a fundamental and crucial role in the InISAR three-dimensional imaging process, and its registration accuracy will directly affect the quality of the final three-dimensional imaging. From the perspective of the reference distance, using the principle of phase correction to perform image registration, motion compensation, and pulse compression on the echo signal received by the receiving antenna, the echo signal received by the receiving antenna from the p-th strong scattering point in the range frequency domain - azimuth time domain is expressed as:

[0090] Among them, S

[0091]

[0092] where S r (f, t m ) represents the echo signal of the receiving antenna in the range frequency domain - azimuth time domain, that is, the Fourier transform result along the fast time ; f represents the fast time frequency; R Δt (t m ) represents the difference between the instantaneous distance from the p-th strong scattering point to the transmitting antenna at time t and the reference distance of the transmitting antenna, R m ; R Δt (t m ) = R t (t m ) - R t_ref , R t_ref represents the reference distance of the transmitting antenna; R Δr (t m ) represents the difference between the instantaneous distance from the p-th strong scattering point to the receiving antenna at time t and the reference distance of the receiving antenna, R m ; R Δr (t m ) = R r (t m ) - R r_ref , R r_ref represents the reference distance of the receiving antenna; λ represents the signal wavelength.

[0093] S103. For example, Figure 3As shown in the figure, considering the symmetry of the array antenna structure, signals are superimposed in the complex domain, which can, to a certain extent, alleviate the phase differences caused by different antenna positions. Additionally, since the noise received by each antenna is not the same, while the effective target echo signals have high coherence, the array antenna is divided into multiple non-overlapping sub-arrays. After synthesizing the echo signals, a synthesized echo signal with a higher signal-to-noise ratio is obtained, ignoring the problem of signal separation. The specific expression is as follows:

[0094]

[0095] where S rn (f, t m ) represents the synthesized echo signal in the range-frequency domain - azimuth-time domain of the nth sub-array, where n = 1, 2, 3, 4; R Δn (t m ) represents the instantaneous distance of the pth strong scattering point relative to the center o of the observed target at time t m , and R Δn (t m ) = R np (t m ) - R no (t m ). R np (t m ) represents the instantaneous distance from the equivalent antenna of the nth sub-array to the pth strong scattering point at time t m , and R no (t m ) represents the instantaneous distance from the equivalent antenna of the nth sub-array to the center o of the observed target at time t m .

[0096] S104. Since the target is moving in a uniform rotational motion, within a short imaging accumulation time, the changes of R np (t m ) and R no (t m ) are approximately linear. Ignoring the high-order terms generated by complex motions, we have:

[0097] R np (t m ) ≈ R np (0) + V np ·t m

[0098] R no (t m ) ≈ R no (0) + V no ·t m

[0099] where R np(0) represents the distance from the equivalent antenna to the p-th strong scattering point at the initial moment, V np represents the radial velocity of the p-th strong scattering point relative to the equivalent antenna, R no (0) represents the distance from the equivalent antenna to the center o of the observed target at the initial moment, V no represents the radial velocity of the center o of the observed target relative to the equivalent antenna.

[0100] Then at time t m the distance difference between the p-th strong scattering point and the target center o can be expressed as:

[0101] R Δn (t m ) = R np (0) + V np ·t m - R no (0) - V no ·t m

[0102] = R′ npo + V′ npo ·t m

[0103] where R' npo represents the distance of the p-th strong scattering point relative to the center o of the observed target at the initial moment, R' npo = R np (0) - R no (0); V′ npo represents the radial velocity of the p-th strong scattering point relative to the center o of the observed target, V′ npo = V np - V no .

[0104] Performing Fourier transform on the synthesized echo signal, the ISAR two-dimensional imaging result of the echo signal received by the n-th equivalent antenna is obtained, and the specific expression is:

[0105]

[0106] where f m represents the Doppler frequency; T obs represents the imaging accumulation time.

[0107] S2. Due to the influence of the sidelobes of the LFM signal, in the obtained ISAR two-dimensional imaging result, false scatterers will appear around the actual scatterers on the target, which will have an adverse impact on subsequent three-dimensional imaging and target recognition. Therefore, using multi-channel CLEAN (Coherent Locus and Extraction of Non-coherent Noise) technology to extract the strong scatterers of the observed target from the ISAR two-dimensional imaging result can make the imaging result clearer and improve the quality of three-dimensional imaging.

[0108] S3. Use the interference technology to obtain the interference phase information of the strong scatterers and obtain the height dimension information of the strong scatterers; the specific content is as follows:

[0109] It can be seen from Figure 3 that the first equivalent antenna EA1 and the second equivalent antenna EA2 are separated in the vertical height direction, and the height dimension information of the observed target can be obtained through interference processing. Similarly, the height dimension information of the observed target can also be obtained by performing interference processing on the third equivalent antenna EA3 and the fourth equivalent antenna EA4. In the actual imaging processing flow, the three-dimensional imaging of the observed target can be realized only by using the echo data of the first equivalent antenna EA1 and the second equivalent antenna EA2. It is also possible to, on the basis of using the first equivalent antenna EA1 and the second equivalent antenna EA2 to perform three-dimensional reconstruction on the observed target, then use the echo data of the third equivalent antenna EA3 and the fourth equivalent antenna EA4 to perform another estimation of the three-dimensional coordinates of the observed target, and average the two three-dimensional imaging results to improve the estimation accuracy.

[0110] Through the ISAR two-dimensional imaging result of the echo signal received by the equivalent antenna, the ISAR imaging results of the echo signals received by the first equivalent antenna EA1 and the second equivalent antenna EA2 can be obtained. The specific expression is:

[0150] Embodiment:

[0151] To verify the effectiveness of the above algorithm, the following simulation experiments will be carried out in combination with the attached drawings and specific embodiments to verify the theory of the method proposed by the present invention:

[0152] Simulation conditions: The observed target model used is as Figure 4 shown. This model is a ship model composed of 38 ideal scattering points, with a length of 50 m and a width of 10 m. At the initial moment, the position of the center of the observed target in the global coordinate system is (X 0 , Y 0 , Z 0 ), where Y 0 = 10 km, and X 0 and Z 0 are variable parameters under different squint angles. According to different azimuth angles and pitch angles, two different modes are set in the experiment, namely: the frontal view mode (X 0 = 0 km, Z 0 = 0 km) and the squint mode (X 0 = 5 km, Z 0= 5 km). During the simulation process, it is assumed that the relative motion between the radar and the observed target is compensated, and the observed target only has rotation around the z-axis with an angular velocity of ω. The transmitted signal is an LFM signal with a carrier frequency of 10 GHz, and the other system simulation parameters are shown in Table 1.

[0153] Table 1 InISAR System Simulation Parameters

[0154]

[0155]

[0156] The array structure used during the simulation process is as shown in Figure 5 (a) of. This array antenna is divided into 4 non-overlapping sub-arrays. After synthesizing the sub-array signals, an equivalent antenna array composed of 4 self-transmitting and self-receiving antennas as shown in Figure 5 (b) of can be obtained.

[0157] To quantitatively evaluate the image quality of 3D imaging, assume that the coordinates of the p-th strong scattering point are (x p , y p , z p ), and the reconstructed coordinates are In this embodiment, the RMSE (Root Mean Square Error) between the reconstructed coordinates and the true coordinates of the p-th strong scattering point, and the 3D reconstruction error calculated from the average value of the Euler distances between the true coordinates and the reconstructed coordinates of all strong scattering points are selected to evaluate the quality of the imaging result, denoted as E x , E y , E z , E 3d respectively. The specific expressions are as follows:

[0158]

[0159]

[0160]

[0161]

[0162] Among them, P represents the total number of strong scattering points.

[0163] Taking the front view mode and the squint mode as examples, the effectiveness of the method proposed by the present invention is verified. Figure 6 are the ISAR 2D imaging results in two modes. Among them, Figure 6 (a) of is the ISAR 2D imaging result in the front view mode, Figure 6 (b) of is the ISAR 2D imaging result in the squint mode. CompareFigure 6 in (a) and Figure 6 in (b), it is not difficult to find that, compared with the frontal view mode, the two-dimensional ISAR imaging result of the target will be distorted in the case of squint. Figure 7 and Figure 8 are respectively the InISAR three-dimensional imaging results of the target obtained by the method proposed in the present invention in the frontal view mode and the squint mode. The blue hollow circles in the figure represent the strong scattering points of the real target, and the orange solid points represent the strong scattering points reconstructed by the simulation experiment. During the simulation experiment, the signal-to-noise ratio was set to 15 dB. Figure 7 In (a) of is the InISAR three-dimensional imaging result diagram of the observed target in the frontal view mode. It can be found from the figure that the estimated strong scattering points are in good agreement with the real strong scattering points. Figure 7 In (b) of is the xoy plane view of the three-dimensional imaging result of the observed target in the frontal view mode. From this view, it can be more intuitively explained that the estimation accuracy of the x coordinate and y coordinate of the observed target is very high. Figure 7 In (c) of and Figure 7 In (d) of are respectively the xoz plane and yoz plane views of the three-dimensional imaging result of the observed target in the frontal view mode. It can be found from them that the estimation accuracy of the z coordinate is relatively high, slightly lower than the estimation accuracy of the x coordinate and y coordinate. Figure 8 In (a) of is the InISAR three-dimensional imaging result diagram of the observed target in the squint mode, Figure 8 In (b) of is the xoy plane view of the three-dimensional imaging result of the observed target in the squint mode, Figure 8 In (c) of is the xoz plane view of the three-dimensional imaging result of the observed target in the squint mode, Figure 8 In (d) of is the yoz plane view of the three-dimensional imaging result of the observed target in the squint mode. It is not difficult to find from the InISAR three-dimensional imaging result of the target shown in Figure 8 in the squint mode that the proposed method can still achieve the three-dimensional reconstruction of the coordinates of the observed target in the squint mode. Comparing the three-dimensional imaging results of Figure 7 and Figure 8 , it can be found that the reconstruction accuracy of the three-dimensional coordinates of the observed target in the squint mode is slightly lower than that in the frontal view mode.

[0164] To verify the anti-noise performance of the proposed method, simulation experiments were carried out under different signal-to-noise ratio conditions. The InISAR three-dimensional imaging result of the original NLS-CT based on the multi-antenna structure was recorded as Case 1, and the InISAR three-dimensional imaging result of the original NLS-CT based on the three-antenna structure (baseline length is 4d / 3) was recorded as Case 2, which were used as control groups. Table 2 records the average three-dimensional reconstruction error results after 100 Monte Carlo experiments under different signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0165] Table 2 Reconstruction Error

[0166]

[0167]

[0168] As can be seen from Table 2, under short baseline conditions, noise has a greater impact on the three-dimensional reconstruction results of the observed target. When the SNR is 0 dB, using the traditional three-antenna structure, the error reaches 5 m, which is quite large. However, the reconstruction error of the target three-dimensional coordinates obtained by using the method proposed in the present invention is about 1 m, which is acceptable for the reconstruction of large targets. Comparing the simulation results of Case 1 and Case 2 shows that signal synthesis can effectively improve the reconstruction accuracy of the target position.
