Description

[0048] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0049] In the drawings of the specific embodiments of the present invention, in order to better and more clearly describe the working principles of the various components in the system, the connection relationship of the various parts in the device is shown, which only clearly distinguishes the relative position relationship between the various components, and does not constitute a limitation on the signal transmission direction, connection sequence and size, dimension and shape of the components or structures.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a multi-source information mapping method for a radar signal processing system according to the present invention. The multi-source information mapping method includes the following steps:

[0052] S1. Acquire radar echo data and perform feature extraction on the radar echo data to obtain radar feature data.

[0053] De-noising radar echo data acquired from multiple sensors removes noise interference to improve data quality. Data calibration is performed to ensure consistency and comparability between different sensors, such as calibration time and spatial coordinates.

[0054] The radar echo data is subjected to feature extraction to obtain radar feature data, including radar amplitude data, radar phase data, and target point speed.

[0055] S2. Use radar feature data to construct the radar echo feature matrix at each moment.

[0056] Each element R of the radar echo feature matrix R IJ for:

[0057] R IJ =A IJ +jP IJ Among them, I and J represent the row number and column number of the matrix respectively, A IJ Indicates element status data, P IJ Represents radar phase data, and j is an imaginary unit.

[0058] P IJ It is obtained through the raw measurement data of the radar system and comes directly from the output of the phase data channel of the radar receiver.

[0059] The total number of rows N and columns M of the radar echo feature matrix R is determined according to the resolution and range of the radar data:

[0060] ;

[0061] ;

[0062] Among them, D range Indicates the maximum detection range of the radar, that is, the maximum range of the target that the radar can detect, ΔD range It is the range resolution of radar data, which refers to the minimum distance interval at which the radar can distinguish two targets that are close in distance. The number of rows in the matrix obtained by dividing the two reflects the quantization in the distance dimension.

[0063] D azimuth is the azimuth coverage, that is, the angular range that the radar can detect in the azimuth direction; ΔD azimuth is the azimuth resolution, that is, the minimum angular separation at which the radar can distinguish two targets that are close in azimuth; the division result determines the number of columns in the matrix, reflecting the degree of quantization of the azimuth dimension.

[0064] The radar echo feature matrix constructed in the above manner can organize the feature data received by the radar in an orderly manner in the form of a matrix, which facilitates subsequent analysis, processing, and target identification of the radar data.

[0065] Define element status data A according to the state requirements of the target at different times IJ , element status data A IJ Including: the three-dimensional coordinates of the target are (x, y, z), the velocity vector .

[0066] A IJ The information contained is intended to describe the state of the target at a specific moment, and will be defined and adjusted accordingly as the target state changes to meet the need for accurate representation of the target state.

[0067] Element status data A IJ Assign a unique identifier. When processing status data of multiple targets or the same target at different times, the unique identifier can easily distinguish these data to avoid confusion. It also makes it easier to accurately locate and use the corresponding data in subsequent data processing, analysis, and data connection between different modules.

[0068] Element status data A IJ Is a vector that contains the target's three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) and velocity vector The three-dimensional coordinates (x, y, z) of the target clearly define the position of the target in space, and determine the specific direction of the target through three dimensions; the velocity vector It describes the target's movement speed in three-dimensional space. The three components correspond to the speed in the x, y, and z directions, respectively, which can reflect the speed and direction of the target's movement.

[0069] These data are spliced ​​into a six-dimensional vector, whose mathematical expression is:

[0070] ;

[0071] This six-dimensional vector representation integrates target position and motion state information into a single data structure, making it easy to comprehensively analyze and process the target's state during radar data processing. In target tracking algorithms, this six-dimensional vector can be used to predict and update the target's motion trajectory. Furthermore, this representation ensures that each element of the state data contains the target's position and velocity at that moment, and each element of the state data can be uniquely identified through an index. Ultimately, the matrix element state data can be represented by a six-dimensional vector containing the target's three-dimensional coordinates and velocity vector.

[0072] S3. Create a radar point cloud image, and map the nodes of the radar point cloud image to the elements of the radar echo feature matrix through a quantized mapping matrix.

[0073] For each radar echo data obtained by the sensor, it is converted into radar point cloud form to create a radar point cloud image I P .

[0074] Preferably, use the plotting tools provided by Matlab to create a 3D scatter plot using functions to visualize the point cloud. Map the x, y, and z coordinates in the point cloud data to positions in three-dimensional space to create a point cloud image. Use the axis equal command to adjust the axis scale for a more intuitive image display.

[0075] The nodes of the radar point cloud image correspond to the elements of the radar echo feature matrix, and each node of the radar point cloud image is associated with the state node of the corresponding matrix element.

[0076] Preferably, radar point cloud image nodes are associated with matrix elements. First, ensure that each node in the radar point cloud image has a unique identifier that corresponds to the position of the radar echo feature matrix element. Matrix elements can be numbered sequentially by row, starting from the top left corner, according to the matrix's row and column order. The nodes in the radar point cloud image are also numbered using the same order and rule.

[0077] According to the generation principle of radar point cloud images, the spatial distribution of its nodes is determined based on target distance, angle, and other information in the radar echo data. The rows and columns of the radar echo feature matrix correspond to dimensions such as distance and azimuth, respectively. Therefore, nodes in the point cloud image that reflect the same distance and azimuth information are associated with elements in the corresponding rows and columns of the matrix. Preferably, nodes at a specific angle and distance in the point cloud image can be associated with elements in the matrix at positions corresponding to azimuth and distance resolution.

[0078] Radar echo feature matrix elements contain state data (target 3D coordinates, velocity vector). During correlation, point cloud image nodes are connected to the state information of the matrix elements. This means that nodes in the point cloud image not only correspond to matrix elements in position but also carry the target state information represented by the matrix elements, allowing the point cloud image to more comprehensively reflect the target's characteristics.

[0079] Radar point cloud image I P The size of is mapped to the radar echo feature matrix through the quantization mapping matrix S. The quantization mapping matrix S is used to establish the radar point cloud image I P The mapping relationship between the size of and the radar echo feature matrix enables the radar echo data to be reasonably reflected in the radar point cloud image.

[0080] The element S(a,b) of the quantization mapping matrix S is:

[0081] Among them, a and b are the row and column indices used to index the elements of the radar echo feature matrix, The azimuth angle of the radar echo data point, that is, the angular position information of the data point in space, is used to determine the attributes of the data point in the azimuth dimension; The quantization step size of the azimuth is the interval size when the azimuth is quantized. The azimuth information is quantized by dividing the azimuth by the quantization step size and rounding down to obtain the element value of the corresponding position in the quantization mapping matrix. Indicates rounding down, that is, taking the largest integer that is not greater than the internal value.

[0082] For each radar echo feature matrix element state data A IJ The location of the node in the corresponding radar point cloud image Calculated by the following formula:

[0083] ;

[0084] ;

[0085] Where: M' and N' are the total number of rows and columns of nodes in the radar point cloud image, Represents a rounding operation. This formula determines the row position of the node in the point cloud image by dividing the quantized mapping matrix element S(a,b) by the number of node rows in the radar point cloud image and rounding it down. ; Determine the column position of the node in the point cloud image by dividing the quantization mapping matrix element S(a,b) by the number of radar point cloud image node columns and rounding down .

[0086] By constructing the above-mentioned quantitative mapping matrix S and calculating the node positions, the information in the radar echo feature matrix can be accurately mapped to the radar point cloud image, realizing the association and conversion between the two, which facilitates the subsequent analysis and processing of the radar data.

[0087] Preferably, if the resolutions of the radar echo feature matrix and the radar point cloud image are different, they can be matched by adjusting the quantization step size. If the physical sizes of the radar echo feature matrix and the radar point cloud image are also different, the area covered by the radar echo feature matrix is ​​L radians, while the area covered by the image is radians, the radar data can be scaled to the coverage of the image before quantization.

[0088] The calculation formula of the quantization mapping matrix element S(a,b) becomes:

[0089] By adjusting the quantization step size and performing necessary scaling operations, the correct mapping relationship can be established even if the radar echo feature matrix and the radar point cloud image do not match in resolution and physical size, such as Figure 2 The figure shows the matching diagram of the points after correct mapping, which ensures that the radar data can be accurately and effectively reflected in the point cloud image.

[0090] Table 1. Mapping error statistics under different algorithms.

[0091] algorithm e1 / pixel e2 / pixel em / pixel er / pixel Zernike algorithm 12.62 1.73 3.24 0.62 iLM-FFD algorithm 2.87 0.46 1.26 0.20 This embodiment 1.62 0.28 0.96 0.12 e1 / pixel: represents the maximum absolute mapping error. It measures the maximum absolute value of the difference between the actual position of a single point and the ideal mapped position during the mapping process, reflecting the maximum possible degree of mapping deviation.

[0092] e² / pixel: Mean absolute mapping error. This is calculated by averaging the absolute differences between the actual and ideal positions of all mapped points. It is used to assess the average level of overall mapping deviation and reflects the overall average deviation of the mapping error.

[0093] em / pixel: This is the root mean square (RMS) mapping error. This is calculated by averaging the squares of the differences between the actual and ideal positions of all mapped points and taking the square root. This comprehensively considers the error size of each point and is more sensitive to larger errors, providing a more comprehensive picture of the overall mapping error.

[0094] er / pixel: This is the relative mapping error. It is calculated by dividing the absolute mapping error by a reference value (such as image size or target feature size). It measures the proportional relationship between the mapping error and the reference, facilitating error comparisons across mapping tasks of different sizes or scales.

[0095] Table 1 shows that different algorithms perform differently in terms of various mapping error metrics. Compared to the Zernike algorithm, the iLM-FFD algorithm significantly reduces all mapping errors. The proposed algorithm also achieves relatively lower mapping error metrics, suggesting that it may offer better performance in controlling mapping errors.

[0096] S4. Perform target position continuity constraints and establish temporal edge connections between corresponding nodes at two moments in the radar point cloud image.

[0097] At a certain time t, the radar detects a target at a specific location, then the corresponding radar point cloud node is connected to the matrix state node A IJ associated.

[0098] Time series edge connection: for the element state data A(t) at adjacent times t and t+1 IJ and A(t+1) IJ , A(t) IJ and A(t+1) IJ The element state data of the radar echo feature matrix corresponding to two moments (t and t+1) respectively.

[0099] Establish the time sequence edge connection I between the nodes of the element state data of the radar echo feature matrix corresponding to two moments (t and t+1) in the radar point cloud image P (i',j',t)-I P (i',j',t+1), establish the position continuity constraint of the target.

[0100] In a preferred embodiment, the position continuity constraint of the target is established in combination with the velocity information:

[0101] According to the velocity vector information, ideally, the position change of the target at adjacent moments should conform to the law of motion. Assuming the time interval is , in the x direction, by the velocity and displacement The relationship can be obtained:

[0102] ;

[0103] Similarly, in the y direction, the velocity and displacement The relationship can be obtained:

[0104] ;

[0105] In the z direction, the velocity and displacement The relationship can be obtained:

[0106] ;

[0107] Establish target position continuity constraints:

[0108] Preferably define an error threshold , the target position is considered to be continuous when the following conditions are met:

[0109] If this condition is met, a temporal edge connection is established between the corresponding nodes at two moments in the radar point cloud image.

[0116] The feature matrix construction module is used to construct the radar echo feature matrix at each moment using radar feature data.

Edge connections can be determined based on factors such as spatial distance and similarity between nodes. By establishing edge connections, the nodes in the point cloud image can be organized into a graph structure, facilitating target position analysis and constraints. The continuity constraint processor applies target position continuity constraints to the established edge connections, optimizing and adjusting them based on target position continuity requirements to ensure target position accuracy and continuity.
