DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0020] As shown in Figure 1 The first aspect, the present application provides a high-resolution radar signal processing method for building deformation monitoring, comprising the following steps: S1, according to the monitoring requirement, set the radar parameter, and collect the reflected echo signal of the building surface.

[0021] Step S1 includes: Set the distance resolution parameter, when it is high resolution mode, the distance resolution is set to 0.00276 m / N ; when it is standard resolution mode, the distance resolution is set to 0.0046 m / N ; It should be noted that according to the accuracy requirements and system resource conditions of building deformation monitoring, the corresponding working mode is selected, including high resolution mode and standard resolution mode, the high resolution mode is suitable for the scene with strict monitoring demand of millimeter level micro deformation, and the standard resolution mode is suitable for the case of conventional deformation monitoring and limited system resources.

[0022] Based on the selected resolution mode and monitoring distance requirement, the frequency range parameter of signal processing is calculated; According to the ratio of the minimum display distance of the radar to the monitoring object and the distance resolution under the corresponding resolution mode, the near-end frequency range under the corresponding resolution mode is calculated f 0, the expression is: f 0=distanceNear / drsec; In the formula, distanceNear is the minimum display distance of the radar to the monitoring area, and drsec is the distance resolution under the current mode; According to the ratio of the maximum display distance of the radar to the monitoring object and the distance resolution under the corresponding resolution mode, the far-end frequency range under the corresponding resolution mode is calculated f 1, the expression is: f 1=distanceFar / drsec; In the formula, distanceFar is the maximum display distance of the radar to the monitoring object; Set the output frequency spectrum point number M And the input signal length N .

[0023] It should be noted that the output frequency spectrum point number M is set to 512 points, which ensures sufficient frequency resolution while considering the calculation efficiency; the input signal length N is set to 2875 sampling points, which ensures signal integrity and provides sufficient processing data amount; According to the above parameter configuration, the radar system is started to collect the reflection echo signal of the building surface, the radar transmits continuous wave signal and receives reflection echo, data collection is carried out according to the set sampling rate and signal length, and the collected original signal is transmitted to the subsequent processing module.

[0024] In step S1, by setting two switchable modes, high resolution and standard resolution, and dynamically calculating the frequency range based on the monitoring distance, an optimized balance between monitoring accuracy and system resource consumption is achieved. The configuration of fixed output points and optimized input length ensures millimeter-level high-precision monitoring capabilities while improving algorithm efficiency. This enables the system to meet the needs of monitoring minute deformations in structures such as high-rise buildings and bridges, and to run efficiently on embedded platforms, effectively supporting multi-scenario and long-term building deformation monitoring applications.

[0025] S2, the reflected echo signal is acquired by the ADC to obtain interleaved I / Q channel data, and the I / Q channel data is separated and reconstructed to obtain a complex signal.

[0026] Step S2 includes: The reflected echo signals are acquired by the ADC and obtained in an interleaved pattern. I / Q Channel data, from interleaved arrangement I / Q Separation from channel data I Channel data and Q Channel data; It should be noted that extracting the I channel data means extracting data from all even-indexed positions in the interleaved data stream. I [ n ]=rawData[2 n Extract Q channel data, that is, extract data at all odd index positions from the interleaved data stream, Q[n] = rawData[2 n +1].

[0027] After separation I Channel data and Q The channel data is reconstructed into complex form to obtain a complex signal, expressed as: ; In the formula, x [ n ] is a complex signal. I [ n [This refers to channel I data.] j The imaginary unit, Q [n] is Q Channel data, n For the sampling point index, ( n =0,1,2,…, N- 1).

[0028] It should be noted that the amplitude and phase information of the radar echo is completely retained by separating and reconstructing the interleaved I / Q channel data into complex form in step S2, which lays a foundation for subsequent high-resolution signal processing; the complex representation not only eliminates the spectral image problem in traditional real signal processing, improves the frequency resolution and ranging accuracy, but also enables the phase information to be completely retained to support accurate angle calculation, ensuring millimeter-level monitoring accuracy.

[0029] S3, using an improved Chirp-Z transform algorithm to perform selective phase linear frequency modulation processing on the complex signal to obtain a high-resolution complex spectrum; Step S3 includes the following sub-steps: S31, constructing a Chirp kernel function for frequency domain modulation, expressed as: ; In the formula, h [ n ] is the first n complex value of the Chirp kernel function, N is the number of signal sampling points, F s is the sampling frequency, f 1- f 0 is the signal frequency range; S32, weighting convolution is performed on the input complex signal to obtain a weighted signal, expressed as: ; In the formula, g [ n ] is the first n output signal value after weighting; S33, multiplying the weighted signal point by point with the Chirp kernel function, and performing Fourier transform on the product result to obtain a high-resolution complex spectrum, expressed as: ; In the formula, Y [ k ] is the first k value of the output high-resolution complex spectrum, including real part I [ k ] and imaginary part Q [ k ], M is the number of output spectrum points, k is the index of the output spectrum.

[0030] It should be noted that in step S3, the selective phase chirp processing is realized by constructing a chirp kernel function with quadratic phase characteristics and performing weighted convolution on the input signal, combined with fast Fourier transform, which can improve the frequency resolution in a specific distance interval; not only the millimeter-level distance accuracy is realized through the nonlinear frequency mapping mechanism, but also the phase information of the complex spectrum is completely preserved to support subsequent accurate angle calculation, providing accuracy and practicality for building deformation monitoring.

[0031] S4, calculating the amplitude of the complex spectrum, extracting the frequency spectrum index corresponding to the strongest reflection point on the building surface through peak value detection, and converting the frequency spectrum index into a preliminary distance value of the target relative to the radar; Step S4 includes the following sub-steps: S41, for each frequency point of the complex spectrum, taking the sum of the square of the complex real part I[k] and the square of the complex imaginary part Q[k], and performing square root operation on the sum value to obtain the amplitude of the complex spectrum, the expression is: ; In the formula, | Y [ k ]| is the amplitude of the frequency domain signal, I [ k ] is the real part of the frequency domain signal, Q [ k ] is the imaginary part of the frequency domain signal; the operation converts the complex spectrum into a real number sequence containing only amplitude information, wherein each | Y [ k ]| value represents the reflection intensity of the building surface on the corresponding distance unit.

[0032] S42, in the amplitude of the complex spectrum, the maximum frequency point value is identified as the strongest reflection point on the building surface through peak value detection, and the frequency spectrum index of the strongest peak value is recorded; It should be noted that all points satisfying |Y[k]|>|Y[k-1]| and |Y[k]|>|Y[k+1]| are identified, a filtering threshold based on noise floor is set, and false peaks caused by environmental noise are filtered out, and among all the local maximum values meeting the conditions, the point with the largest amplitude is selected as the strongest reflection point on the building surface, and the corresponding frequency spectrum index is recorded.

[0033] S43, converting the frequency spectrum index of the strongest peak value into a preliminary distance value of the target relative to the radar.

[0034] Step S4 completes the key conversion from the frequency domain to the distance domain, the spectrum containing phase information is converted into a distribution reflecting the target reflection intensity by calculating the complex amplitude; the peak value detection algorithm identifies the most significant building surface reflection point from the distribution; and the last index-distance conversion converts the abstract spectral position into a distance value with clear physical meaning through a linear mapping relationship, which not only fully utilizes the fine distance information provided by the high-resolution spectrum to ensure the realization of millimeter-level ranging accuracy, but also effectively suppresses noise interference through the peak value screening mechanism to ensure the reliability of target identification and provides an accurate and reliable distance reference for building deformation monitoring.

[0035] Step S43 comprises the following sub-steps: According to the maximum detection distance and the minimum detection distance set by the radar system, the total detection range of the radar system is calculated; According to the ratio of the total detection range of the radar system to the output spectral point number, the distance increment represented by each spectral index is calculated; The spectral index of the strongest peak value is multiplied by the distance increment to calculate the distance offset, and the minimum detection distance is added to calculate the preliminary distance value of the target relative to the radar, and the expression is: ; In the formula, r is the preliminary distance value of the target relative to the radar, k max is the spectral index of the strongest peak value, d min is the minimum detection distance set by the radar system, d max is the maximum detection distance set by the radar system.

[0036] The present application converts the spectral index of the strongest reflection point into the accurate distance of the target by establishing a linear mapping relationship between the spectral index and the physical distance, realizing reliable conversion of the digital signal processing result to the physical space parameter; the method not only fully utilizes the fine positioning ability of high-resolution spectrum analysis to ensure the realization of millimeter-level ranging accuracy, but also avoids complex calculation through simple linear operation, reduces the system processing burden, and at the same time, the mapping mechanism has good adaptability and scalability, can flexibly adjust the detection range according to different monitoring needs, and provides reliable and efficient distance measurement for building deformation monitoring.

[0037] S5, according to the phase difference of the I / Q channel data, the azimuth of the target relative to the radar is calculated, and combined with the preliminary distance value, the two-dimensional coordinates of the strongest reflection point in the radar relative coordinate system are obtained through coordinate conversion.

[0038] Step S5 comprises the following sub-steps: Calculate the difference between the current time value and the previous time value of the I channel and the difference between the current time value and the previous time value of the Q channel respectively; Divide the difference of the Q channel by the difference of the I channel and perform an inverse tangent operation to obtain the azimuth angle of the target relative to the radar, expressed as: ; In the formula, Q 1 is the current time value of the Q channel, Q 0 is the previous time value of the Q channel; I 1 is I the current time value of the I channel, I 0 is I the previous time value of the I channel, and the difference calculation effectively extracts the time rate of change of the signal phase.

[0039] According to the preliminary distance value and the azimuth angle of the target relative to the radar, convert to x and y coordinates in the Cartesian coordinate system, calculate the two-dimensional coordinates of the target in the radar relative coordinate system, expressed as: x = r ·cos( θ ); y = r ·sin( θ ); In the formula, ( x , y ) are the two-dimensional coordinates of the target in the radar relative coordinate system.

[0040] In this step S5, the phase change characteristics of the I / Q signal are used for angle estimation. The I / Q signal constitutes a vector on the complex plane, and the phase angle of the vector carries the azimuth information of the target. By calculating the phase change rate at adjacent times, the angular position of the target can be effectively extracted. The conversion from polar coordinates to Cartesian coordinates establishes a mathematical mapping from distance-angle description to plane rectangular coordinates, providing a basic framework for subsequent absolute coordinate positioning.

[0041] S6, based on the installation position and calibration parameters of the radar in the field, map the two-dimensional coordinates in the radar relative coordinate system to the building absolute coordinate system to obtain the actual position of the target.

[0042] Step S6 includes the following sub-steps: Determine the installation position and installation angle of the radar in the building absolute coordinate system through field measurement; Translate the origin of the radar relative coordinate system to the installation position of the radar in the building absolute coordinate system, and align the spatial position of the coordinate origin according to the translation transformation matrix; According to the installation angle of the radar, the translated coordinates are rotated, and the coordinate axes of the radar relative coordinate system are aligned with the building absolute coordinate system according to the rotation matrix, to obtain the actual position of the target in the building absolute coordinate system; The translated and rotated coordinates are the actual position of the target in the building absolute coordinate system.

[0043] The core of this step is to realize accurate conversion between different coordinate systems through translation transformation and rotation transformation, which not only eliminates the system error caused by the installation position and angle of the radar, but also ensures the spatial consistency of the data of different monitoring points, and improves the monitoring efficiency and reliability.

[0044] This embodiment adopts an improved Chirp-Z transform algorithm for high-resolution spectrum division, combines a complete I / Q signal complex processing flow, realizes millimeter-level distance monitoring capability, detects the peak value and calculates the phase difference angle, and through on-site calibration and coordinate mapping, the measurement result is aligned with the building coordinate system, ensuring sub-degree angle resolution and millimeter-level distance accuracy.
