Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of radar signal processing technology, and more specifically to a bandwidth extension method, system, storage medium, and electronic device based on generative adversarial networks. Background Technology

[0002] In the process of radar target detection, its range resolution and imaging resolution are directly related to its bandwidth. How to improve the bandwidth and resolution of radar systems is a key research topic in the field of radar detection. Increasing the operating bandwidth of radar from a hardware perspective is costly. However, researching new multi-band fusion algorithms that effectively utilize existing radar signals from different frequency bands and fuse them to generate a wideband radar signal can improve the resolution of radar systems without increasing hardware costs.

[0003] In related technologies, early multi-frequency fusion algorithms mainly relied on radar echo signals for frequency band extrapolation, performing coherent registration and frequency band fusion on sub-band signals. Wideband extrapolation algorithms required high accuracy in the signal model, and the width of the intermediate blank frequency band could not exceed twice the width of the narrowest bandwidth. Subsequent spectral estimation methods did not require spectral extrapolation, but necessitated multiple spectral estimation algorithms, resulting in significant computational overhead. Both of these algorithms predicted missing frequency bands based on existing data, leading to a decrease in synthesized quality under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, 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.

[0050] This application provides a bandwidth extension method, system, storage medium, and electronic device based on generative adversarial networks, which solves the technical problem of reduced synthesis quality under low signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

[0051] The technical solution in this application is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, and the general idea is as follows:

[0052] Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have demonstrated powerful technical advantages in image generation and speech synthesis. Compared to traditional signal processing methods that can only extend existing frequency content, GAN networks can regenerate missing frequencies. Inspired by a series of lightweight convolutional encoder-decoder architectures, this invention creates a novel deep learning model designed to infer missing portions from radar signals containing only a subset of frequency bands, achieving ultra-bandwidth extension.

[0053] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0054] Example 1:

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a bandwidth extension method based on generative adversarial networks, including:

[0056] S1. Obtain radar measurement values ​​that are angularly coherent within the target's full frequency band as true full-band data, and filter the true full-band data using different bandpass filters to obtain sub-band data with intervals in multiple frequency band coverage areas.

[0057] S2. Obtain the pre-built GAN network; wherein the GAN network includes a generator employing a lightweight encoder-decoder network similar to UNet and a discriminator employing a multi-scale architecture; perform the following training steps:

[0058] S3. Gaussian white noise is added to the multiple sub-frequency band data for enhancement processing and used as input to the generator to generate pseudo full-frequency band data;

[0059] S4. Use the pseudo full-band data and the real full-band data as inputs to the discriminator to determine the authenticity of the full-band data;

[0060] S5. If the GAN network meets the training completion conditions, the multiple sub-band data to be expanded are used as input to the trained generator to obtain the required full-band data.

[0061] In an optional implementation, the bandwidth extension method provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes:

[0062] S6. If the GAN network does not meet the training completion conditions, adjust the relevant parameters in the GAN network to optimize the loss function, and continue the above training steps based on the adjusted GAN network; wherein adjusting the relevant parameters in the GAN network to optimize the loss function includes:

[0063] Keeping the parameters of the generator unchanged, the discriminator loss is minimized by adjusting the parameters of the corresponding discriminator.

[0064] Keeping the parameters of the discriminator unchanged, the generator loss is minimized by adjusting the parameters of the corresponding generator.

[0065] The discriminator loss and the generator loss are alternately optimized until the network converges.

[0066] This invention employs a GAN network with embedded UNet-like features to fuse multi-band radar signals, generating ultra-wideband radar signals, thereby improving the range, azimuth, and imaging resolution of the radar system. The designed GAN network uses an end-to-end approach for multi-frequency signal fusion, eliminating the need for target echo modeling and multi-band signal coherent registration, thus reducing algorithm complexity. Furthermore, the use of a lightweight UNet-like network for feature extraction significantly reduces computational load and improves real-time performance.

[0067] The following will detail each step of the above solution:

[0068] In step S1, radar measurement values ​​that are angularly coherent across the entire frequency band of the target are acquired as true full-band data. The true full-band data are then filtered using different bandpass filters to obtain sub-band data with intervals in the coverage areas of multiple frequency bands.

[0069] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific numerical information such as the target full frequency band range, the number of bandpass filters, or the size of the interval between frequency band coverage areas. Those skilled in the art can choose according to actual needs.

[0070] For example, the target full-band range is set to 7-17GHz, and three bandpass filters with a bandwidth of 1G are selected, with frequency band coverage ranges of 7-8GHz, 11-12GHz, and 16-17GHz, respectively. The real full-band data is filtered to obtain sub-band data with intervals between the three frequency band coverage ranges.

[0071] In step S2, the pre-built GAN network is obtained.

[0072] The pre-constructed GAN network in this embodiment of the invention mainly includes two parts: a generator and a discriminator.

[0073] The generator includes a UNet-like network for automatic signal feature extraction. The UNet-like network is represented by a U-shaped structure consisting of multiple encoders and decoders of equal number, used for cross-layer fusion of the extracted features with the input signal. The encoders and decoders include convolutional layers and residual modules.

[0074] It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific number of encoders and decoders, and those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs.

[0075] For example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the UNet-like network is represented by a U-shaped structure consisting of three encoders and three decoders. The encoders and decoders mainly consist of convolutional layers and residual modules, and the activation function can be set to Leaky ReLU with a slope of -0.01.

[0076] The discriminator adopts a multi-scale architecture, which consists of at least three sub-discriminators. The first sub-discriminator is used to receive pseudo full-band data generated by the generator, and the remaining sub-discriminators are used to receive pseudo full-band data after downsampling according to the corresponding preset multiple.

[0077] It should be noted that, given that the discriminator consists of at least three sub-discriminators, the embodiments of the present invention do not limit the specific number of sub-discriminators, and those skilled in the art can set them according to actual needs.

[0078] For example, such as Figure 3 As shown, the discriminator consists of three sub-discriminators, D1, D2, and D3, to learn the characteristics of different sub-bands, making the synthesized broadband signal closer to the real full-band signal. D1 deals with the original signal (i.e., the pseudo-full-band data generated by the generator), while D2 and D3 deal with the data after downsampling the original signal by multiples of 2 and 4, respectively. The downsampling is performed using average pooling with a kernel size of 4. Leaky ReLU can also be used as the activation function in the discriminator, but a stronger slope of -0.2 is preferred to allow better gradient transmission to the generator. All convolutional layers in the network have normalized weights to ensure fast convergence during training.

[0079] In step S3, Gaussian white noise is added to the multiple sub-band data for enhancement processing and used as input to the generator to generate pseudo full-band data.

[0080] Before the multiple sub-band data obtained in this step are used as input to the GAN network, noise is added to the data to enable the deep learning model to perform denoising while expanding bandwidth. In particular, using the original waveform as input can minimize manual processing and allow the network to construct its representation itself, thus achieving phase registration between sub-bands.

[0081] In step S4, the pseudo full-band data and the real full-band data are used as inputs to the discriminator to determine the authenticity of the full-band data.

[0082] In step S5, if the GAN network meets the training completion condition, the multiple sub-band data to be expanded are used as input to the trained generator to obtain the required full-band data.

[0083] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of the present invention, the training completion conditions include at least one of the following: the number of training iterations reaches a predetermined iteration threshold, the loss function reaches the optimal value, or the discrimination accuracy of the discriminator is within a predetermined range.

[0084] In step S6, if the GAN network does not meet the training completion conditions, the relevant parameters in the GAN network are adjusted to optimize the loss function, and the above training steps are continued based on the adjusted GAN network.

[0085] If the training completion condition is not met in this step, the relevant parameters of the generator and / or discriminator in the GAN network are adjusted to optimize the loss function. Then, the adjusted GAN network continues to execute the above training steps until the training completion condition is met.

[0086] The loss function includes discriminator loss and generator loss. Adjusting the relevant parameters in the GAN network to optimize the loss function includes:

[0087] Keeping the parameters of the generator unchanged, the discriminator loss is minimized by adjusting the parameters of the corresponding discriminator.

[0088] Keeping the parameters of the discriminator unchanged, the generator loss is minimized by adjusting the parameters of the corresponding generator.

[0089] The discriminator loss and the generator loss are alternately optimized until the network converges (which can also be understood as the generator and discriminator reaching a Nash equilibrium).

[0090] Alternating optimization refers to: first, keeping the parameters of the generator / discriminator unchanged, and repeatedly executing steps S3 to S6 by adjusting the parameters of the corresponding discriminator / generator until the values ​​of the discriminator loss and generator loss stabilize; then, performing the reverse setting, that is, keeping the parameters of the discriminator / generator unchanged, and repeatedly executing steps S3 to S6 by adjusting the parameters of the corresponding generator / discriminator until the values ​​of the generator loss and discriminator loss stabilize. The parameters of the generator and discriminator are trained alternately until they reach Nash equilibrium.

[0091] The process of obtaining the discriminator loss and generator loss is described below:

[0092] In this embodiment of the invention, both the discriminator loss and the generator loss are based on the classic hinge loss function. In particular, the generator loss function adds a feature matching loss to the hinge loss, which can make the end-to-end synthesized signal closer to the full-band label signal.

[0093] The discriminator loss is expressed as:

[0094]

[0095] Among them, L D E represents the discriminator loss; y represents the true full-band data; E represents the discriminator loss. y This represents the average of all real full-band data in the training batch; K represents the number of discriminators, N k D represents the total number of output elements of the k-th discriminator; max represents maximizing; k,n (y) represents the nth value of the output vector of the k-th discriminator when the input is y; x represents the multiple sub-band data after enhancement processing, E x G(x) represents the average of multiple sub-band data after enhancement processing in the training batch; G(x) represents the pseudo-full-band data generated by the generator when the input is x; D k,n (G(x)) represents the nth value of the output vector of the kth discriminator when the input is x.

[0096] The generator loss is expressed as:

[0097]

[0098] Among them, L G Indicates generator loss; Represents the hinge loss term; Let N represent the feature matching loss term, where λ represents the weight of this term; k,l F represents the total number of elements in a single feature of the l-th layer of the k-th discriminator; k,l D represents the number of features in the l-th layer of the k-th discriminator; ||·|| represents the L2 norm; D k,n (G(x)) represents the feature vector of the l-th layer of the k-th discriminator when the input is G(x); D k,n (x) represents the feature vector of the l-th layer of the k-th discriminator when the input is x.

[0099] Furthermore, during the training process of the GAN network:

[0100] For example, all training data can be divided into a training set:test set ratio of 5:1, with a batch size of 32. Within each batch, the following steps are followed: Figure 2 The provided example alternately trains the discriminator set {D} kThe algorithm uses a discriminator loss and a generator G (k = 0, 1, or 2) to minimize the discriminator loss and generator loss. The optimizer can employ the Adam optimization algorithm, which adaptively adjusts the learning rate, with a learning rate of 3e-4, a first-order moment decay rate of 0.5, and a second-order moment decay rate of 0.9.

[0101] Thus, this embodiment of the invention completes the entire process of the bandwidth extension method based on generative adversarial networks.

[0103] This invention provides a bandwidth extension system based on generative adversarial networks, comprising:

[0104] The sample acquisition module is used to acquire radar measurement values ​​that are angularly coherent within the target's full frequency band as real full-band data, and to filter the real full-band data using different bandpass filters to obtain sub-band data with intervals in multiple frequency band coverage areas.

[0107] The authenticity judgment module is used to use the pseudo full-band data and the real full-band data as inputs to the discriminator to judge the authenticity of the full-band data.

[0108] The frequency band extension module, if the GAN network meets the training completion conditions, uses the multiple sub-frequency band data to be extended as input to the trained generator to obtain the required full-frequency band data.

[0109] In an optional implementation, the bandwidth extension system provided in this embodiment of the invention further includes:
