By clearly distinguishing the contributions of single and double reflections between the ship and the sea surface, it accurately analyzes the ship's reflection path and the ship-sea reflection path, providing more accurate data support for RCS modeling and more reliable technical support for ship detection in complex marine scenarios.

It should be understood that such data can be interchanged where appropriate so that the embodiments described herein can be implemented in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" or "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0027] For ease of understanding, the specific process of the embodiments of the present invention is described below. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 One embodiment of the ship dual-station RCS calculation method in this invention includes:

[0028] 101. Obtain ship material parameters and sea surface physical parameters, and calculate the dielectric constant of the ship and the sea surface based on the ship material parameters and sea surface physical parameters;

[0029] In this embodiment, the ship material parameters and sea surface physical parameters are first obtained. Then, these parameters are input into a preset sea surface characteristic calculation model to calculate the dielectric constant of the ship and the sea surface. This step provides the necessary physical basis for subsequent reflection contribution calculation.

[0030] 102. Obtain the spatial coordinates of the transmitter and receiver and calculate the propagation vector to obtain the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction and the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction;

[0031] In this embodiment, a three-dimensional geometric coordinate system based on the ship is first established to obtain the spatial position coordinates of the transmitter and receiver in the coordinate system. Then, the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction and the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction are calculated through normalization. This step clarifies the geometric relationship of the reflection path and provides the necessary geometric information for subsequent reflection field calculation.

[0032] 103. The amplitude of the incident field is calculated based on the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction;

[0033] In this embodiment, the incident field amplitude can be calculated by substituting the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction into the incident field modeling formula and combining it with the initial incident field amplitude.

[0034] 104. Obtain the ship-sea reflection path, perform reflection analysis based on the ship-sea reflection path, and calculate the reflection contribution by combining the dielectric constants of the ship and the sea surface to obtain the ship-sea path reflection vector function.

[0035] In this embodiment, the ship-sea reflection path is first divided into a first reflection path from the transmitter to the ship hull and a second reflection path from the sea surface to the receiver. Then, reflection matrices are constructed and reflection vectors are calculated according to these two reflection paths to obtain the first reflection vector function and the second reflection vector function of the ship-sea path. This step ensures the accurate calculation of reflection contribution and provides the necessary reflection contribution information for subsequent reflection field calculation.

[0036] 105. The amplitude of the reflection field along the ship-sea path is calculated based on the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction and the reflection vector function of the ship-sea path.

[0037] In this embodiment, the amplitude of the reflection field along the ship-sea path can be calculated by substituting the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction, the first reflection vector function of the ship-sea path, and the second reflection vector function of the ship-sea path into the reflection field calculation formula.

[0038] 106. The RCS data of the first station was calculated based on the incident field amplitude and the reflection field amplitude of the ship-sea path.

[0039] In this embodiment, the incident field amplitude and the ship-sea path reflection field amplitude are substituted into the RCS calculation formula and calculated under far-field conditions to obtain the RCS data of the first station. This step ensures the accuracy of the RCS calculation and provides a reliable basis for the detection of ships in a multi-station remote sensing system.

[0040] 107. Obtain the reflection path of the sea vessel and use the sea vessel reflection path as the ship-sea reflection path. Return to the step of performing reflection analysis based on the ship-sea reflection path to calculate the amplitude of the sea vessel path reflection field. Calculate the RCS data of the second station based on the incident field amplitude and the sea vessel path reflection field amplitude.

[0041] In this embodiment, after calculating the RCS of the first station, it checks whether the RCS of the second station has been calculated. If it has not been calculated, the path reversal step continues.

[0042] Using the ship's reflection path as the ship-sea reflection path, that is, adjusting the reflection path order from the sea surface to the ship and then to the receiver; under a fixed bistatic geometry configuration (i.e., when the relative positions of the transmitter, receiver, and ship remain unchanged), the incident wave unit vector and the received wave unit vector in the two reflection paths (ship-sea reflection and ship-sea reflection) are the same, but the intermediate reflection directions are different; therefore, by reversing the path, it can be ensured that the contributions of the two reflection paths are accurately calculated.

[0043] After the path is reversed, steps 104 to 106 are repeated based on the reflection path of the ship. Reflection analysis is performed based on the new reflection path, and the RCS data of the second station can be calculated.

[0044] By using path reversal and repeated reflection analysis, the calculation of RCS data at the second station can be achieved, breaking through the limitations of single-station configuration and ensuring the integrity and accuracy of dual-station RCS calculation.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, the dielectric constants of the ship and the sea surface are first calculated based on the ship's material parameters and the sea surface's physical parameters, providing a physical basis for subsequent reflection contribution calculations. Next, the spatial coordinates of the transmitter and receiver are obtained and propagation vectors are calculated to determine the unit vectors of the incident and received wave propagation directions. Then, incident field modeling analysis is performed based on the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction to obtain the incident field amplitude. Subsequently, reflection analysis is performed based on the ship-sea reflection path, and the reflection contribution is calculated in conjunction with the dielectric constants of the ship and the sea surface to determine the double reflection contribution during the ship-sea reflection stage. The reflection field is then modeled using the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction to obtain the reflection field amplitude. The first station RCS data is calculated based on the incident field amplitude and the reflection field amplitude. After completing the first station RCS calculation, the ship-sea reflection path is reversed to the ship's reflection path to calculate the second station RCS data. This invention, by clearly distinguishing the double reflection contribution between the ship and the sea surface, accurately analyzes the ship's reflection path and the ship-sea reflection path, providing more accurate data support for RCS modeling and more reliable technical support for ship detection in complex marine scenarios.

Sea surface physical parameters include sea surface salinity, temperature, wind speed, and sea surface roughness.

[0049] These parameters can be obtained through methods such as on-site measurement, historical data query, or laboratory testing; for example, salinity can be measured by using a salinity meter after seawater sampling, temperature can be measured by a temperature sensor, wind speed can be measured by an anemometer, and sea surface roughness can be estimated by remote sensing data or on-site observation.

[0050] 202. Input the ship material parameters and sea surface physical parameters into the preset sea surface property calculation model to calculate the dielectric constant of the ship and the sea surface;

[0052] By comprehensively considering various factors such as ship material composition, size, and sea conditions, the model is made to better fit the actual marine scene, thereby improving the accuracy of the dielectric constant; the accurate calculation of the dielectric constant ensures the accuracy of the reflection coefficient, thereby improving the reliability of RCS modeling.

[0053] Please see Figure 3 In the three embodiments of the ship dual-station RCS calculation method of the present invention, step 102 includes:

[0054] 301. Establish a three-dimensional geometric coordinate system based on the ship;

Initial incident field amplitude and the unit vector of the polarization direction of the incident field The amplitude of the incident field is calculated based on the incident field formula. The incident field formula is as follows:

[0072] The imaginary unit is defined as satisfying The mathematical notation for electromagnetic fields; in engineering calculations related to electromagnetics and radar, it is standard practice to represent electric fields (or magnetic fields) in complex form because the propagation of electromagnetic waves simultaneously includes amplitude and phase information, while the imaginary unit... It is a key mathematical tool for constructing complex forms, thereby concisely describing the phase variation with spatial position, and can accurately reflect the wave characteristics of electromagnetic waves;

[0073] By following the steps above, the incident field amplitude can be accurately calculated, providing the necessary initial conditions for subsequent RCS calculations.

[0074] Please see Figure 5 Five embodiments of the ship dual-station RCS calculation method in this invention include step 104, which includes:

[0081] In this embodiment, a reflection matrix is ​​constructed based on the reflection coefficient of the first reflection path and its corresponding polarization direction, and the first reflection vector function of the ship-sea path is calculated by combining the geometric optics approximation.

[0082] The elements of the first reflection matrix are defined as follows:

[0083] ;

[0084] ;

[0085] in, These are the matrix elements of the first reflection matrix. and These correspond to horizontal and vertical polarization, respectively. It is the identity matrix; The polarization direction of the reflected wave is represented by a unit vector.

[0086] In the formula, It is a 3x3 identity matrix (the elements on the diagonal are 1s and the elements off the diagonal are 0s). It is the unit vector of the reflected wave (three-dimensional vector). It is the outer product of vectors (represented as a 3x3 matrix); in electromagnetic scattering calculations, This is the classic "transverse wave projection operator," whose function is to eliminate waves parallel to... The component, only those perpendicular to The transverse wave amplitude is calculated to ensure that subsequent calculation results conform to the transverse wave characteristics of the electromagnetic field.

The unit vector of polarization direction of the reflected wave can be calculated, that is, the unit vector of polarization direction incident on the sea surface. ;

[0096] At the same time, since the reflection path at this time is from the transmitter to the hull, the surface normal vector is a unit vector. Take the unit vector as the surface normal of the sea.

It should be noted that during the sampling process, the shading effect of ships should be considered, and sampling points in shadowed areas should be excluded. Finally, the contribution of all valid sampling points is integrated to obtain the sea surface reflection integral result.

The following describes the ship bistatic RCS calculation device in the embodiments of the present invention. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 8 One embodiment of the ship dual-station RCS calculation device in this invention includes:

[0118] Background analysis module 801 is used to obtain ship material parameters and sea surface physical parameters, and calculate the dielectric constant of the ship and the sea surface based on the ship material parameters and sea surface physical parameters;

[0119] The wave vector calculation module 802 is used to obtain the spatial position coordinates of the transmitter and receiver and perform propagation vector calculation to obtain the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction and the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction;

[0120] The incident field calculation module 803 is used to calculate the incident field amplitude based on the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction.

[0121] The reflection analysis module 804 is used to obtain the ship-sea reflection path, perform reflection analysis based on the ship-sea reflection path, and calculate the reflection contribution by combining the dielectric constants of the ship and the sea surface to obtain the ship-sea path reflection vector function.

[0122] The reflection field calculation module 805 is used to calculate the amplitude of the reflection field along the ship and sea path based on the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction and the ship-sea path reflection vector function.

[0123] RCS calculation module 806 is used to calculate the first station RCS data based on the incident field amplitude and the ship-sea path reflection field amplitude.

[0124] The path switching module 807 is used to obtain the reflection path of the sea vessel and use the sea vessel reflection path as the ship-sea reflection path, and return it to the reflection analysis module 804 to calculate the amplitude of the sea vessel path reflection field, and calculate the RCS data of the second station based on the incident field amplitude and the sea vessel path reflection field amplitude.

[0125] In this embodiment, the background analysis module 801 calculates the dielectric constants of the ship and the sea surface based on the ship's material parameters and the sea surface's physical parameters. Next, the wave vector calculation module 802 obtains the spatial coordinates of the transmitter and receiver and performs propagation vector calculations to determine the unit vectors of the incident and received wave propagation directions. Then, the incident field calculation module 803 performs incident field modeling analysis based on the unit vector of the incident wave propagation direction to obtain the incident field amplitude. Subsequently, the reflection analysis module 804 performs reflection analysis based on the ship-sea reflection path, calculates the reflection contribution by combining the dielectric constants of the ship and the sea surface, and determines the double reflection contribution during the ship-sea reflection stage. Finally, the reflection field calculation module 805 combines the first reflection vector function, the second reflection vector, and the unit vector of the received wave propagation direction to model the reflection field and obtain the reflection... The RCS calculation module 806 calculates the first station's RCS data based on the incident field amplitude and the reflected field amplitude. After completing the first station's RCS calculation, the path switching module 807 reverses the ship-sea reflection path to the ship's reflection path and returns to the reflection analysis module 804. Using the ship's reflection path as the analysis basis, the ship's path reflection vector function is recalculated. Then, the reflection field calculation module 805 calculates the ship's path reflection field amplitude, and finally, the RCS calculation module 806 calculates the second station's RCS data again. This invention, by clearly distinguishing the dual reflection contribution between the ship and the sea surface, accurately analyzes the ship's reflection path and the ship-sea reflection path, providing more accurate data support for RCS modeling and more reliable technical support for ship detection in complex marine scenarios.
