Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar signal processing technology, and more specifically relates to a radar target detection method, system, device and medium based on two feature fusion. Background Technology

[0002] Detection of weak targets in strong sea clutter has always been a widely studied topic in the radar field. Radar target detectors can be broadly classified into energy-based detectors and feature-based detectors. Energy-based detectors utilize the differences in position and / or energy accumulation between targets and clutter in various domains to enhance the signal-to-clutter ratio of target cells, thereby improving target detection performance. Feature-based detectors, on the other hand, utilize the differences in certain characteristics between targets and clutter, extracting these characteristics to increase the contrast between target cells and clutter cells, thus improving detection performance.

[0003] In recent years, research on feature-based detectors has been increasing. While some features exhibit high sensitivity to low signal-to-clutter ratios, most features do not necessarily possess this desirable property, especially under short time-series conditions. Therefore, employing a multi-feature joint detector for radar target detection can significantly improve the detection performance of weak targets on the sea surface by fully utilizing the information in high-dimensional space.

[0004] Currently, the decision space of multi-feature joint detectors is typically solved using convex hull or concave hull learning algorithms. However, the accuracy of the resulting decision space largely depends on the number of multi-feature samples under target-free conditions, the geometry of the feature sample distribution in the multi-dimensional feature space, and the accuracy of the convex hull / concave hull algorithm itself. Experimental data analysis shows that the existence of decision space estimation errors severely impacts the detection performance of multi-feature joint detectors. An effective solution is feature dimensionality reduction, particularly fusing multiple features into a single feature for detection. In this case, the decision space degenerates into a detection threshold. Under the same data volume, the estimation error of the detection threshold will be significantly reduced compared to estimating the decision space. Summary of the Invention

[0079] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0080] The radar target detection method based on two-feature fusion provided in this application improves target detection performance by fusing phase linearity and relative peak height, two key features in radar target detection. First, a linear dimensionality reduction technique based on distribution compactness is used to reduce the dimensionality of both phase linearity and relative peak height. This process, through linear transformation, fuses the two features into a more representative fused feature, effectively reducing the feature dimensionality and improving the efficiency of subsequent processing. Second, a generalized extreme value distribution is used to model the fused feature. By modeling the probability density function, the statistical characteristics of the fused feature can be described more accurately, providing a foundation for the construction of subsequent detection statistics. Finally, based on the generalized extreme value distribution model, detection statistics are constructed, and an adaptive threshold is calculated by combining a preset false alarm probability. In this process, by comparing the detection statistics with the threshold, accurate target determination is achieved, effectively suppressing clutter interference and improving the accuracy and reliability of radar target detection.

[0081] This application delves into two key features in radar target detection: phase linearity and relative peak height. It utilizes linear dimensionality reduction techniques, such as Principal Component Analysis (PCA) or Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA), to reduce and fuse these features. This approach generates more discriminative fused features, effectively reducing redundant information and improving the feature representation capability and accuracy of radar target detection.

[0082] This application employs the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution (GEV) to model the fused features. Through probability density function estimation and parameter fitting, it more accurately describes the statistical properties of the fused features. This modeling process considers the possible distribution patterns of the fused features, enhancing the robustness and adaptability of detection. In complex clutter environments, GEV modeling enables the detection statistics to have stronger resistance to clutter interference, improving the reliability and stability of detection.

[0083] This application combines a preset false alarm probability with constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection technology to automatically adjust the detection threshold according to environmental changes. By estimating the statistical characteristics of background clutter in real time and calculating the adaptive threshold accordingly, constant false alarm rate radar target detection is achieved. This detection method effectively suppresses clutter interference and noise effects, ensuring the stability and consistency of detection performance, and enabling the method to maintain excellent detection results under different environments and conditions.

[0094] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0095] Please see Figure 1 The diagram shows a flowchart of a radar target detection method based on two-feature fusion in a specific embodiment. The method includes:

[0096] S1: Construct training data using existing radar target detection data, extract phase linearity based on the training data using the phase linearity extraction process, and extract the relative peak height of the Doppler spectrum using the relative peak height extraction process.

[0097] S2: Based on the phase linearity and relative peak height, the fusion matrix of the two features is obtained by using a linear dimensionality reduction method with compact distribution.

[0098] S3: Real-time acquisition of reference range cell data and target range cell data using signal model, execution of phase linearity extraction process and relative peak height extraction process respectively, and generation of fusion features using fusion matrix.

[0099] S4: Based on the fusion features, estimate the generalized extreme value distribution parameters and construct the detection statistics. Combine the preset false alarm probability to calculate the adaptive threshold. Use the comparison between the detection statistics and the threshold to complete the target decision, so as to achieve constant false alarm detection under clutter suppression.

[0100] In this embodiment, the radar target detection method based on two feature fusion is divided into two stages: training and detection. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the purpose of the training phase is to obtain the fusion rules for the two features PL and RPH using the training data and a linear dimensionality reduction method based on distribution compactness. The training data refers to a large amount of I / Q data without target range cells obtained under the same observation conditions. The detection phase, based on the range cell data to be detected and the reference range cell data, uses the fusion rules to form fusion features, and on this basis, constructs detection statistics to complete the threshold detection.

[0101] In this embodiment, by cleverly fusing the complementary features of phase linearity and relative peak height, and utilizing the linear dimensionality reduction technique with compact distribution to achieve effective feature fusion, and by combining the generalized extreme value distribution to model the fused features, an efficient detection statistic is constructed. Thus, constant false alarm rate radar target detection is achieved in complex clutter environments, greatly improving the accuracy, robustness and adaptability of target detection.

[0102] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the phase linearity extraction process and the relative peak height extraction process disclosed in steps S1 and S3, the following will provide a possible embodiment and describe its specific implementation in a non-limiting manner.

[0103] In this invention, the phase linearity extraction process and the relative peak height extraction process disclosed are essentially feature extraction processes. The basic principle is to use the N I / Q data obtained in each distance cell to extract two features: phase linearity and relative peak height of the Doppler spectrum, and to normalize the two features relative to their respective maximum and minimum values.

[0104] Phase linearity describes The phase linearity in long I / Q data, abbreviated as PL, is based on the idea that the phase linearity increases when a target is present in the I / Q data sequence. Based on this idea, the phase linearity extraction process of this invention includes:

[0105] 1. Take the training data or the first distance unit in each distance unit. indivual The entanglement phase of the data is represented as:

[0106]

[0107] Let the difference between adjacent winding phases be . Adjust it using the following formula. arrive Between, to eliminate Jump:

[0108]

[0109] The true phase after untangling is represented as:

[0110]

[0111] 2. Let the phase difference between two adjacent phases of the true phase sequence be... Then the phase linearity is expressed as:

[0112]

[0113] in, Then the normalized phase linearity is:

[0114] .

[0115] The relative peak height of the Doppler spectrum describes what indivual The energy concentration of data in the Doppler domain, abbreviated as Relative Peak Height (RPH), is based on the idea that target echo energy is more concentrated in the Doppler domain than sea clutter energy. Based on this idea, the relative peak height extraction process of this invention includes:

[0116] 1. Let the first distance unit be the first distance unit. indivual Data is Then the Doppler amplitude spectrum can be expressed by the following formula:

[0117]

[0118] in, For Doppler frequency, The pulse repetition period;

[0119] 2. Let the peak value of the Doppler amplitude spectrum be... The relative peak height can then be expressed as:

[0120]

[0121] in, The extent of the Doppler sidelobe. for The number of Doppler frequency points within the range;

[0122] The normalized relative peak height is:

[0123] .

[0124] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on step S2, the following will provide a possible embodiment and describe its specific implementation in a non-limiting manner.

[0125] In step S2, a linear dimensionality reduction method with compact distribution is disclosed. The linear dimensionality reduction problem of this invention is to reduce the two-dimensional feature space formed by PL and RPH to a one-dimensional feature space, which is equivalent to searching for a straight line in the two-dimensional feature space such that the objective function is optimal when the two-dimensional feature data is projected onto this line. The line search process involves traversing all possible direction vectors. To achieve this, in which This represents the angle with the horizontal axis; the key lies in the design of the objective function.

[0126] In radar target detection, a compact probability density function for clutter data is generally more beneficial for improving detection performance. Therefore, this invention introduces kurtosis and interquartile range (IQR) to measure the compactness of the probability density function of the clutter fusion features after linear dimensionality reduction. Kurtosis reflects the sharpness of the probability density function at the mean, while IQR reflects the concentration of the data.

[0127] Based on the above principles, the linear dimensionality reduction method for distribution compactness disclosed in this invention specifically includes the following process:

[0128] Based on the phase linearity and relative peak height, a feature dataset is generated. Among them, phase linearity and relative peak height are generated by feature extraction from training data composed of observation data of targetless distance units.

[0129] Referring to the feature dataset mentioned above, Let be the number of samples in the feature dataset, and be the th . Feature data samples Includes phase linearity features and relative peak height characteristics ,Right now:

[0130]

[0131] After linear dimensionality reduction, the fused feature dataset can be obtained:

[0132]

[0133] set up , They represent the fusion features respectively. Given the expected value and variance, the kurtosis is calculated as follows:

[0134]

[0135] in, Indicates taking the expected value;

[0136] set up The probability distribution function is The interquartile range is then expressed as:

[0137]

[0138] in, , They are respectively The lower quartile and upper quartile;

[0139] The objective function is defined as follows:

[0140]

[0141] in, ;

[0142] exist Traverse within the interval When the objective function When the minimum value is reached, the corresponding direction vector This is the optimal weighted vector for the two features PL and RPH.

[0143] When the measured data is processed using the linear dimensionality reduction method described above for compact distribution, refer to Figure 3 The given two-dimensional feature data point plot shows the measured data, and the line corresponding to the optimal weighted vector is marked on the plot. (Reference) Figure 4 The histogram of fused features is shown, where blue represents data without the target and red represents data with the target. It can be seen that the Pearson correlation coefficient between the PL and RPH features extracted based on data without the target is -0.12, and its absolute value is less than 1 / e, indicating a weak correlation between the two features.

[0144] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on the signal model disclosed in step S3, a possible embodiment will be given below, and its specific implementation will be described in a non-limiting manner.

[0145] In step S3, the reference range cell data and the range cell data to be detected are acquired in real time using a signal model, including:

[0146] The sea radar is set to operate in coherent processing mode, with the number of coherent pulse trains being [number missing]. After orthogonal demodulation and matched filtering, the I / Q data in the range cell to be detected is denoted as... ,in, This represents the range cell to be detected; the I / Q data in the reference range cell is denoted as... ,

[0147] in The subscript represents the number of reference distance cells. Indicates the first There are one reference range cell, and there is no target echo in the reference range cell.

[0148] The target I / Q data that may exist in the range cell to be detected are denoted as... The clutter I / Q data in the range cell to be detected and the reference range cell are respectively denoted as and The two are statistically independent and identically distributed.

[0149] Therefore, the object detection problem can be expressed as a binary hypothesis testing problem as follows:

[0150]

[0151] in, This indicates that there is no target in the range cell to be detected. This indicates that a target exists within the range cell to be detected.

[0152] It should be noted that, using the feature extraction method and the linear dimensionality reduction method with distribution compactness disclosed in the above embodiments, the binary hypothesis testing problem can be formulated as follows:

[0153]

[0154] in, This represents the fused feature formed after linear dimensionality reduction of the two-dimensional feature space composed of PL and RPH features; This represents the fusion characteristics of target clutter in the range cell to be detected. This represents the clutter fusion characteristics within the reference range cell. Under the assumption that clutter statistics are statistically independent and identically distributed in each range cell, the clutter fusion characteristics obtained from each range cell are... They are also statistically independent and identically distributed.

[0155] In one embodiment of the present invention, based on step S4, the following will provide a possible embodiment and describe its specific implementation in a non-limiting manner.

[0156] This embodiment discloses a generalized extreme value distribution modeling and detection statistic design process, which specifically includes the following two parts:

[0157] 1. Modeling of generalized extreme value distribution of fused features:

[0158] This embodiment uses the Generalized Extreme Value Distribution (GEV) to model the probability density function of the fused features generated after dimensionality reduction of the target unit features. The GEV distribution is a three-parameter distribution; compared to single-parameter or two-parameter distributions, the high degrees of freedom of GEV allow it to flexibly fit the tail characteristics of different types of distributions. The distribution function and probability density function of the GEV distribution are shown below:

[0159]

[0160] in It is a fusion feature variable; The location parameter determines the central location of the distribution; The scale parameter determines the extent of the distribution's expansion; The shape parameter determines the shape and tail characteristics of the distribution;

[0161] The shape parameters are obtained by using the probabilistic weighted moment estimation method. The estimator expression is:

[0162]

[0163] in, , , , ;

[0164] from Obtained from each reference distance cell fusion feature samples The sequence is obtained by arranging the sequences in ascending order. ;

[0165] The scale parameter is obtained by using the probabilistic weighted moment estimation method. The estimator expression is:

[0166]

[0167] The location parameters are obtained by using the probabilistic weighted moment estimation method. The estimator expression is:

[0168]

[0169] in, It is the Gamma function.

[0170] Figure 5 against Figure 4 The histogram of the fused feature data generated after dimensionality reduction of the target unit features is first normalized to obtain the probability density function. Then, the GEV distribution, exponential distribution, Rayleigh distribution, log-normal distribution, and Weibull distribution are used for fitting, and the mean square error of the theoretical and empirical values ​​of the tail of the probability density function is calculated.

[0171] The results show that the GEV distribution has the best fitting effect, as shown in Table 1 below.

[0172] Table 1: Comparison of Fitting Results

[0173]

[0174] 2. Design of detection statistics:

[0175] Based on the form of the probability density function of the GEV distribution of the fused features under the condition of no target data, the following detection statistic is designed:

[0176]

[0177] When fusion features The number of samples tends to infinity, making , , At that time, the detection statistic can be derived. The asymptotic probability density function is:

[0178] .

[0179] The above equation shows that, in the absence of target data, feature fusion... When the sample size approaches infinity, the detection statistic... The asymptotic probability density function is independent of any background parameters, i.e., the detection statistic... It is asymptotically close to CFAR.

[0180] Therefore, the false alarm probability can be calculated using the following formula. Corresponding detection thresholds:

[0181] .

[0182] like Figure 6 As shown, the following are embodiments of the radar target detection system based on two-feature fusion provided in this disclosure. This system and the radar target detection method based on two-feature fusion in the above embodiments belong to the same inventive concept. For details not described in detail in the embodiments of the radar target detection system based on two-feature fusion, please refer to the embodiments of the radar target detection method based on two-feature fusion described above.

[0183] A radar target detection system based on two-feature fusion includes:

[0184] The data extraction module is used to construct training data using existing radar target detection data, extract phase linearity based on the training data using the phase linearity extraction process, and extract the relative peak height of the Doppler spectrum using the relative peak height extraction process.

[0185] The fusion rule generation module is used to obtain the fusion matrix of the two features based on the phase linearity and relative peak height using a linear dimensionality reduction method with distribution compactness.

[0186] The measured data fusion module is used to acquire reference range cell data and target range cell data in real time using the signal model, perform phase linearity extraction and relative peak height extraction processes respectively, and generate fusion features using the fusion matrix.

[0187] The target detection module is used to estimate the generalized extreme value distribution parameters and construct the detection statistics based on the fused features. It calculates the adaptive threshold by combining the preset false alarm probability and completes the target decision by comparing the detection statistics with the threshold, so as to achieve constant false alarm detection under clutter suppression.

[0188] The radar target detection system based on two-feature fusion provided in this embodiment deeply mines and utilizes two key features in radar target detection—phase linearity and relative peak height—and effectively fuses them using linear dimensionality reduction technology, forming more discriminative fused features and significantly improving detection performance.
