Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of synthetic aperture radar, and particularly relates to a terrain classification method and system based on SAR altimeter delay Doppler images. Background Art

[0002] SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar), that is, synthetic aperture radar, is an active ground observation system that can be installed on flight platforms such as airplanes and satellites, and has the ability to observe the ground all day and all weather. The SAR altimeter can be used as an auxiliary system to provide high-precision terrain data and support for navigation and positioning.

[0003] Modern SAR altimeter systems mainly rely on altitude sequences to match with a preset digital elevation model (DEM) during positioning. However, this method has the following problems: on the one hand, in an environment with interference, simply relying on altitude sequence matching is prone to positioning errors; on the other hand, when there are deviations in the preset DEM, it will also affect the positioning accuracy. Therefore, how to improve the reliability of positioning in a signal-limited environment is an urgent problem to be solved in this field.

[0004] Terrain classification, as an important auxiliary means, can provide additional terrain information support for navigation and positioning. Existing research shows that accurate terrain type recognition can significantly improve the robustness of positioning. However, current terrain classification methods are mainly based on single feature descriptions or only use altitude information for classification, making it difficult to comprehensively describe terrain features and resulting in insufficient classification accuracy. In addition, traditional classification methods have problems with insufficient generalization ability when dealing with complex terrains.

[0005] Based on the above background, the present invention proposes a new terrain classification method based on SAR altimeter delay Doppler images. This method extracts multi-dimensional terrain description factors, combines the characteristics of the delay Doppler images of the SAR altimeter, and uses deep learning technology to achieve automatic terrain classification, providing a new solution for improving the reliability of navigation and positioning in a signal-limited environment.

[0028] The following will further describe the preferred embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0029] First, in combination with Figures 1 to 11Describe a terrain classification method based on SAR altimeter delay-Doppler images according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to solve the problem of insufficient terrain classification accuracy in an environment with limited GPS signals and has a wide range of application scenarios.

[0030] As Figures 1 to 11 shown, a terrain classification method based on SAR altimeter delay-Doppler images according to an embodiment of the present invention has the following steps: Step S1: Calculate terrain factors based on given DEM data, perform terrain factor analysis, and determine the terrain category.

[0031] Among them, the terrain factors include: standard deviation of elevation, skewness coefficient, kurtosis coefficient, Fisher information content, slope, Hurst parameter of fractional Brownian motion process, roughness, fluctuation abundance, elevation entropy, correlation length, correlation index, elevation code distortion, and elevation difference between points. The specific calculation formulas are as follows: 1. Standard deviation of elevation (Esigma):

[0032] Where: is the elevation value of the i-th point, is the average elevation value.

[0033] 2. Skewness coefficient (CSkew):

[0034] Where: is the total number of samples.

[0035] 3. Kurtosis coefficient (CKurto):

[0036] 4. Fisher information content (FIC):

[0037] Where: and are the gradient operators in the x direction and y direction respectively.

[0038] 5. Slope (DSlope):

[0039] 6. Hurst parameter (FBMH):

[0040] 7. Roughness (DRough):

[0041] Where: M and N are the number of rows and columns of the data matrix, respectively.

[0051] 13. Elevation Difference between Points (Hr):

[0052] Where: and represent the maximum and minimum elevations in the area.

[0053] And it should be noted that the selection of terrain factors is based on the following considerations: ① The elevation standard deviation (Esigma) reflects the overall undulation degree of the terrain; ② The skewness coefficient (CSkew) and kurtosis coefficient (CKurto) describe the asymmetry and peakedness of the elevation distribution; ③ The Fisher information content (FIC) and slope (DSlope) characterize the gradient features of the terrain; ④ The Hurst parameter (FBMH) and roughness (DRough) characterize the detailed features of the surface of the earth; ⑤ The fluctuation abundance (DFAbund) and elevation entropy (Entropy) represent the complexity of the terrain; ⑥ The correlation length (SCLeng) and correlation index (CIndex) reflect the spatial correlation of the terrain; ⑦ The elevation code distortion (DCode) and elevation difference between points (Hr) describe the discrete characteristics of elevation.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the terrain factors calculated based on the given DEM data include the following sub-steps: Step S1.1: Preprocess the DEM data to remove the DEM blocks containing outliers, which can ensure the quality of the data.

[0055] Step S1.2: In this embodiment, calculate the terrain factors from the preprocessed DEM data.

[0056] Furthermore, the terrain factor analysis includes the following sub-steps: Step S1.3: Conduct a correlation analysis on the terrain factors, calculate the correlation coefficient matrix, and remove the highly correlated terrain factors with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.95; Step S1.4: Conduct a KMO test on the remaining terrain factors to obtain the KMO value; In this embodiment, the formula for conducting the KMO test is:

[0057] Where: is the value, is the correlation coefficient between variable and variable , is the partial correlation coefficient between variable and variable .

[0058] Step S1.5: Based on the comparison result of the KMO value and the critical value, determine whether the remaining terrain factors are suitable for dimensionality reduction processing. If suitable, conduct dimensionality reduction processing on the remaining terrain factors through principal component analysis to obtain the dimensionality reduction result; Step S1.6: Use the silhouette coefficient method to determine the optimal number of clusters, thereby determining the terrain categories.

[0059] In this embodiment, the formula for the optimal number of clusters is:

[0060] Among them is the sample and the average distance from other samples of the same type, is the sample and the average distance from the nearest other type of sample.

[0061] Step S2: Establish an SAR altimeter echo model and generate a delay-Doppler image through simulation based on the given DEM data.

[0062] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the SAR altimeter echo model includes: a reasonably designed transmitted signal model, an echo signal model established considering terrain scattering characteristics, and a compressed signal model.

[0067] Obtain the compressed signal model:

[0068] Among them: is the compressed signal, is the pulse width, is the frequency modulation slope, .

[0069] Step S3: Using the terrain categories obtained from the terrain factor analysis as labels, label the corresponding delay-Doppler images, and input the labeled delay-Doppler images into a convolutional neural network for training, so that the convolutional neural network can automatically extract image features and perform terrain classification.

[0070] Step S4: Automatically perform terrain classification on new delay-Doppler images through the trained convolutional neural network.

[0071] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the network includes two parts: a feature extraction layer and a classification layer. The feature extraction layer consists of multiple convolutional blocks, and each convolutional block contains a convolutional layer, an activation function, and a pooling layer. The classification layer contains a fully connected layer, a Dropout layer, and a Softmax output layer.

[0072] It should be noted that the convolutional neural network has: 1. Multi-level feature extraction ability; 2. Adaptive parameter learning mechanism; 3. Network structure suitable for processing two-dimensional image data; 4. Reliable classification decision output.

[0073] The method of the present invention will be further described below through specific application embodiments and the accompanying drawings of the specification.

[0074] The data of the specific application embodiment of the present invention is from a dataset obtained by randomly sampling global DEM data, and a DEM example is Figure 2 as shown. The process of the specific application embodiment includes the following steps: Preprocess the DEM data. This step mainly performs quality inspection on the original DEM data and eliminates DEM blocks containing abnormal DSlope values.

[0075] Calculate terrain description factors. According to the calculation formulas of the foregoing 13 terrain description factors, extract features from each DEM data block.

[0076] First, perform a correlation analysis on the 13 terrain description factors, calculate the correlation coefficient matrix, as Figure 3 shown. The analysis results show that the correlation coefficients of the three factors, FIC, DCode, and Hr, with other factors exceed 0.95. To avoid information redundancy, these three highly correlated factors are eliminated.

[0077] Perform a KMO test on the remaining 10 factors, and obtain a KMO value of 0.77, which is greater than the critical value of 0.6, indicating that the data is suitable for dimensionality reduction processing; perform dimensionality reduction on the terrain description factors through principal component analysis. As Figure 4 shown, when the number of principal component factors is greater than or equal to 3, the cumulative variance contribution rate exceeds the threshold of 85%. Therefore, 3 principal component factors are selected as the dimensionality reduction result.

[0078] Use the silhouette coefficient method to determine the optimal number of clusters. AsFigure 5 As shown, the silhouette coefficient is calculated under different numbers of clusters. The results show that when the number of clusters is 3, the silhouette coefficient reaches the maximum value of 0.68. Therefore, the terrain is divided into 3 categories. The three-dimensional scatter plot distribution of the data after dimensionality reduction is as Figure 6 shown.

[0079] In this embodiment, the following parameter settings are adopted: the center frequency of the transmitted signal is 9.6 GHz, the pulse width is 20 μs, and the sampling frequency is 100 MHz. For three different types of terrain, the generated DDIs are respectively as Figure 7 , 8 , and as shown in Figure 9. It can be observed that the DDIs of different terrain types have obvious characteristic differences.

[0080] Convolutional neural network training. As the network structure shown in Figure 10 , it includes the following parts: the first convolutional block uses 32 3×3 convolutional kernels, the second convolutional block uses 64 3×3 convolutional kernels, and the fully connected layer contains 128 neurons. Using a batch size of 64 and a learning rate of 1×10 -4 for 20 rounds of training, finally achieving an accuracy of 90.67% in the three-category terrain classification task. The confusion matrix is as Figure 11 shown.

[0081] These results verify the effectiveness and reliability of the method of the present invention in the terrain classification task.

[0082] The above has described a terrain classification method based on SAR altimeter delay-Doppler images according to an embodiment of the present invention in conjunction with the attached Figures 1 to 11 drawings. Further, the present invention can also be applied to a terrain classification system based on SAR altimeter delay-Doppler images.
