Description

[0002] The ocean covers 71.8% of the Earth's surface, constituting humanity's second living space after land. Ships, as the core means of water transportation, carry out multiple functions, including transportation, fishing activities, and national defense security. Therefore, effective monitoring of ships is particularly important. Currently, synthetic aperture radar (SAR) technology plays a key role in the monitoring and identification of ship targets, mainly due to its ability to generate high-resolution imagery with global coverage and achieve continuous observation under all-weather and all-time conditions. In view of this, the development of a reliable and efficient SAR ship detection algorithm is of critical strategic significance for enhancing maritime safety management and monitoring effectiveness.

[0003] Traditional SAR image target detection first performs two-dimensional imaging processing on the collected raw SAR echo domain data to generate a focused image similar to a visible light image. Subsequently, traditional or deep learning target detection techniques are used to automatically detect and locate ship targets from the focused image. However, SAR ship detection methods based on this imaging paradigm face challenges in practical applications of wide-area maritime ship detection, including computationally intensive full-scene imaging and poor image quality caused by defocusing moving targets and sidelobe interference.

[0051] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a SAR ship detection method based on range compression domain characteristic guidance, comprising the following steps:

[0052] Step 1: Obtain spaceborne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) echo data that has undergone BAQ (Block Adaptive Quantization) decompression processing;

[0053] Step 2: Based on the above-mentioned spaceborne SAR echo data, matched filtering is performed in the range direction to obtain the corresponding preliminary imaging in the range compression domain;

[0054] Step 3: Slide the image in the range compression domain using a 1024×1024 sliding window.

[0055] Step 4, such as Figure 1As shown in Figure 1, a strip attention mechanism module is added to the backbone network ResNet50 of the RT-DETR benchmark model, and three scale features are extracted from the target in the 1024×1024 range compression domain image, that is, multi-scale feature maps {S3, S4, S5} are sampled 8, 16, and 32 times;

[0056] Step 5, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the SimVSS module is added to the hybrid encoder of the RT-DETR benchmark model, and the above 8, 16, and 32 times multi-scale feature maps {S3, S4, S5} are fed into the hybrid encoder based on the SimVSS module to extract multi-scale features, and then the multi-scale features are fused across scales;

[0057] Step 6, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the features output by the hybrid encoder are input into the IoU-aware query selection of RT-DETR, and regions with high overlap (IoU) with the ground-truth object are selected as initial candidate boxes. Generally speaking, in object detection tasks, an IoU greater than 0.5 can be considered a relatively high overlap, but the specific threshold varies depending on the dataset and task requirements.

[0058] Step 7, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, RT-DETR's Transformer decoder performs multiple rounds of optimization on the selected candidate boxes, analyzes the relationship between the objects through the self-attention mechanism, gradually adjusts the position and size of the candidate boxes, and finally outputs accurate detection results;

[0059] Step 8, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, in the RT-DETR model, to accurately locate slender ship targets in the range compression domain, a shape-aware IoU regression positioning loss is added to the auxiliary prediction head structure. The specific process is as follows: In step 7, the Transformer decoder optimizes the position and size information of the candidate boxes to obtain preliminary optimized candidate boxes; then, in step 8, the auxiliary prediction head structure uses these optimized candidate boxes as the basis for calculating the shape-aware IoU regression positioning loss; based on this, the auxiliary prediction head performs more refined positioning adjustments, thereby achieving accurate detection and positioning of slender ship targets in the range compression domain.

[0060] As a further preferred embodiment of the SAR ship detection method based on distance compression domain characteristics guidance of the present invention, the strip attention mechanism module described in step 4 specifically includes the following steps:

[0061] Step 4.1, define the Strip Attention Module (SAM). Figure 2As shown in the figure, the SAM module can make full use of the Strip Pooling technology to deeply explore features along the same spatial dimension, thereby significantly enhancing the strip context feature expression capability of ship targets in the range compression domain.

[0062] Given input features F∈R C×H×W (H and W are the height and width respectively, C is the number of channels, and R represents the real number domain. First, three 1×1 convolution operations are performed on it to obtain and V∈R C×H×W These three feature maps. Perform matrix dimension transformation and transposition operation on the feature map Q to generate N is H×W, and then the Strip Pooling operation is applied to the feature map K, that is, the average value of each row of pixels in the feature map is calculated to generate Then, the feature map and feature maps Perform product operation and finally obtain the position attention mapping result A∈R through Softmax operation N×W In essence, the feature map and The matrix multiplication operation is the product of the eigenvector corresponding to the position and the eigenvectors of all other positions, so the similarity calculation formula between positions is:

[0063]

[0064] Among them, Q i Represents the i-th position element of the feature map Q; K j Represents the j-th position element of feature map K, A j,i Represents Q i With K j The degree of correlation between them.

[0065] Furthermore, the feature map V is stripped and pooled horizontally, and then the dimension is converted to After matrix multiplication with matrix A, the dimension is converted to Final feature map Add the corresponding elements of the input feature F to get the final feature map

[0066] Step 4.2, embedding position of the SAM module: In the BasicBlock or Bottleneck structure of ResNet, the SAM module is inserted after the last convolutional layer of the residual path, and the channel weighting operation is performed before the addition operation with the skip connection.

[0067] Step 4.3, multi-level SAM module configuration: Add SAM modules to the output of each stage of ResNet to form a global-local joint attention mechanism. For example, in the layers 2 to 4 of ResNet50, set SAM modules with dimensionality reduction ratios of r = 16, 8, and 4 respectively.

[0068] As a further preferred embodiment of the SAR ship detection method based on range compression domain characteristic guidance of the present invention, the SimVSS module described in step 5 specifically includes the following steps:

[0069] Step 5.1, define the SimVSS module. Figure 3 As shown in Figure 2, the SimVSS module is used in the hybrid encoder to expand the receptive field of the detection network so that it can learn the global contextual information between the ship target and other targets and background.

[0070] Its design is mainly based on SSM (State Space Model) and a feedforward network. The structure contains residual connections and normalization layers, which are designed to stabilize the gradient training process and accelerate model convergence. The traditional SSM can be regarded as a linear time-invariant system function, which is The univariate series Mapping to output sequence Specifically, given the state transition matrix As the evolution factor, weight matrix and observation matrix B, P∈C N As projection factors, and defined skip connections Its mathematical expression is as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Where N is the dimension of the state variable; t is the time variable; h(t) is the state variable that describes the internal state of the system at time t

[0073] In addition, the system function can be improved by introducing the time scale parameter To discretize it to process discrete time series data. This transformation can be defined as follows:

[0074]

[0075] Among them, h t represents the discrete-time state vector, the state variable at time step t; Represents the discretized state transfer matrix, which is the continuous-time state matrix A through the matrix index e ΔA It is converted to describe the evolution of the state in a discrete time system. k-2 represents the state vector at time k-2; Represents the discretized input matrix, which is determined by the continuous time input matrix B, the time scale parameter Δ, the parameter u and A, and reflects the impact of the input on the state. k is the input vector at time step k, the external signal that drives the system state change; t is the output vector at time step t, the observable quantity of the system; P is the output matrix, which converts the state vector h k Mapped to output y t , which is the same as the output matrix in the continuous-time system Represents the discretized skip connection matrix, which is used to represent the direct impact of input on output. Δ∈R Q is the time scale parameter (sampling period), which is used to discretize the continuous-time system and determine the discrete time step size. A is the continuous-time state matrix, which describes the continuous-time dynamic changes of the system state. B is the continuous-time input matrix, which reflects the impact of the input signal on the continuous-time state. μ is a coefficient used to adjust the input term during the discretization process. e ΔA is the matrix exponential, the core operation used to convert a continuous-time system to a discrete-time system.

[0076] In the process of discretization of system functions, Represents the mapping from state space to output space, where D represents the number of output features and N represents the dimension of the state space. In order to refine the approximation of B using a first-order Taylor series expansion:

[0077]

[0078] Where ΔB is the discretized approximate version of B. When a continuous-time system is discretized, it is usually necessary to approximate it. Here, a first-order Taylor expansion is used to approximate B. Specifically, It can be approximated by Taylor expansion as This is the effect of a change in state on the output under the influence of ΔA. This approximation can help simplify calculations and make the model more easily handle discrete time series data. In some cases, ΔB can also be understood as the incremental change introduced by the input signal during the discretization process.

[0079] For input The processing steps within the SimVSS block can be described as follows:

[0080]

[0081] Among them, Z l-1 、Z l 、Z l+1 They represent the output states of different layers l of the SimVSS block.

[0082] Step 5.2, such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure 3, the SimVSS module is embedded in the middle of attention-based intra-scale feature interaction (AIFI) and convolutional neural network-based cross-scale feature fusion (CCFM).

[0083] As a further preferred embodiment of the SAR ship detection method based on distance compression domain feature guidance of the present invention, the shape-aware IoU regression loss in step eight is specifically:

[0084] Shape-IoU regression loss (Shape-IoU) calculates the loss by focusing on the shape and scale of the bounding box itself, thereby achieving more accurate bounding box regression. Its calculation formula is as follows:

[0085]

[0086] Among them, L Shape-IOU It is the shape-aware IoU regression loss (Shape-IoU Loss), which is used to evaluate the predicted bounding box (B) and the true bounding box (B gt ) is a loss function that measures the difference in shape and position. The smaller its value, the higher the degree of match between the predicted box and the true box. t is the weight coefficient used to measure the mismatch degree of the bounding box in the horizontal (w) and vertical (h) directions; c is the central horizontal coordinate of the predicted bounding box; is the horizontal coordinate of the center of the real bounding box; c is the central ordinate of the predicted bounding box; is the central ordinate of the true bounding box; c is a constant used to control the scaling of the distance function (to prevent underflow or overflow problems in numerical calculations), which determines the weight of the distance in the loss calculation; scale is the scale factor, B and B gt The predicted box and the true value box, w and w respectively gt They are the predicted box B and the true value box B gt The width, h and h gt They are the predicted box B and the true value box B gt The height of , ww and hh are the weight coefficients in the horizontal and vertical directions respectively.

[0087] Through the above steps, the suspected target area can be quickly located on the wide sea surface, effectively reducing the time and computing resource consumption required for subsequent focused imaging. In addition, the invention can learn the strong distinguishing characteristics of ship targets and sea clutter based on the amplitude characteristics and geometric characteristics of the ship echo energy in the range focusing and azimuth defocusing, and quickly locate the suspected target area.
