Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of radar measurement technology, and in particular to a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis. Background Technology
[0002] Since its development in the late 20th century, Ground-Based Synthetic Aperture Radar (GB-SAR) has become one of the most important tools in the field of surface deformation monitoring. This technology achieves high-precision measurement of minute surface displacements by comparing the phase differences of radar images from different time phases. Compared with spaceborne InSAR, GB-SAR has significant advantages such as flexible deployment, short image acquisition cycles (typically several minutes to tens of minutes), and high measurement accuracy (down to sub-millimeter level). It has been widely used in open-pit mine slope stability monitoring, landslide early warning, and deformation detection of man-made structures such as bridges and dams. For example, in open-pit mine scenarios, GB-SAR can monitor minute slope displacements in real time to prevent collapse accidents; in landslide monitoring, it can provide high-frequency monitoring data to support emergency response decisions; and in man-made structure monitoring, it can detect subtle changes caused by bridge vibrations or dam seepage.
[0003] However, the sub-millimeter measurement accuracy of GB-SAR is severely affected by atmospheric interference. Atmospheric phase delay effects are the main source of error, including large-scale slowly varying atmospheric components (such as uniform changes caused by overall temperature or pressure gradients) and small-scale turbulent atmospheric components (such as rapid fluctuations caused by local water vapor vortices or wind disturbances). These atmospheric errors stem from the spatial and temporal inhomogeneities of atmospheric refractive index, causing phase delays in the radar signal propagation path and superimposing spurious deformations in the interferometric phase. Especially in scenarios with monitoring distances of several kilometers, high humidity areas near rivers with variable environments, or complex weather conditions, these errors can reach several millimeters or even higher, severely limiting the accuracy of practical engineering applications. Domestic and international research has verified the severity of atmospheric influences through controlled deformation accuracy verification experiments; for example, some tests show that the atmosphere can introduce deformation errors of about 2 mm or phase deviations of 1 rad.
[0004] In existing technologies, atmospheric correction methods are mainly divided into external data methods and internal data methods. External data methods rely on parameters such as temperature, pressure, and humidity collected by meteorological stations, simulating atmospheric refractive index changes through linear or exponential models. However, the low spatial and temporal sampling rates make it difficult to meet the requirements of GB-SAR's small-scale, high-precision monitoring. Internal data methods are based on information inherent in the GB-SAR interferometric data itself, such as utilizing the phase information of permanent scatterers (PS) or artificial corner reflectors, and estimating the atmosphere through polynomial model fitting combined with spatial interpolation (hereinafter referred to as the PSM method). The PSM method performs well in removing large-scale, slowly varying atmospheric elements, but it processes each interferogram individually without considering temporal information, making it difficult to remove locally residual small-scale turbulent atmospheric elements. The co-date phase stacking method (hereinafter referred to as the CSS method), commonly used in spaceborne InSAR, removes turbulent components in the temporal dimension, but it assumes linear stability in deformation, making it unsuitable for GB-SAR's common scenarios of sudden slope deformation or artificially controlled deformation experiments, leading to the loss of abrupt change information.
[0005] In summary, the shortcomings of existing technologies are mainly reflected in the following aspects: (1) the external data method has a low sampling rate and strong dependence, which cannot adapt to the real-time requirements of GB-SAR; (2) the PSM method does not completely remove small-scale atmospheric data, and residual errors affect accuracy; (3) although the CSS method considers the time dimension, it ignores deformation nonlinearity and is prone to losing high-frequency abrupt change information; (4) there is a lack of refined methods that integrate the spatial and temporal dimensions, making it impossible to simultaneously achieve atmospheric removal and deformation protection. These problems often lead to false alarms or decreased accuracy in practical engineering, and new methods are urgently needed to solve them. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. It achieves the precise removal of small-scale turbulent atmosphere by obtaining homogeneous samples through spatial and temporal cluster analysis without relying on external meteorological data, combining the large-scale fitting advantages of the PSM method and the phase stacking concept of the CSS method. At the same time, it effectively protects the abrupt deformation information in the high-frequency acquisition of GB-SAR.
[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis, comprising: Multiple temporal single-view complex images were acquired using GB-SAR equipment, short baseline interferogram pairs were generated, and permanent scatterer points were obtained by screening. Based on a preset large-scale atmospheric phase correction, the permanent scatterer points are model-fitted to obtain large-scale estimates. Based on the preset small-scale atmospheric phase correction, the permanent scatterer points are clustered by spatial and temporal clustering to obtain spatiotemporal sample clusters. The spatiotemporal sample clusters are then calculated or completed to obtain small-scale estimates. The large-scale estimate and the small-scale estimate are added together to obtain the total atmospheric phase estimate.
[0008] According to the present invention, a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis is provided, which utilizes GB-SAR equipment to acquire multiple temporal single-look complex images, generates short baseline interferogram pairs, and filters out permanent scatterer points, including: Based on the device's preset scanning mode, short baseline interferogram pairs are generated from single-view complex images of multiple time phases; Permanent scattering points were obtained by screening using amplitude deviation index and coherence threshold; The number of integer cycles of the wrapped phase is determined by unwrapping the short baseline interferogram pair, and the unwrapped interferometric phase sequence is output.
[0009] According to the present invention, a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis is provided. Based on a preset large-scale atmospheric phase correction, a model is fitted to the permanent scatterer points to obtain large-scale estimates, including: The distance between any permanent scatterer point and the radar is obtained. The four-dimensional modeling polynomial function of the permanent scatterer point is obtained from the three-dimensional coordinates of any permanent scatterer point, the distance between any permanent scatterer point and the radar, and the atmospheric property function at any time. Using the coordinates of all permanent scatterer points and the unwrapped interferometric phase sequence, the optimal weight parameters of the four-dimensional modeling polynomial function are solved by the least squares method to obtain atmospheric phase estimates at any two time points.

[0011] According to the present invention, a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis is provided, which clusters the permanent scatterer points through time-dimensional clustering, including: Using the phase of the permanent scatterer points in any interference pair of the spatial dimension of the first spatiotemporal sample cluster as the clustering data, 2N samples are formed, constituting the second cluster sample; The atmospheric phase obtained by stacking the first spatiotemporal sample cluster through conventional phase stacking is used as the cluster center of the second spatiotemporal sample cluster. This results in a second spatiotemporal sample cluster composed of atmospheric components similar to those in the first cluster, which is homogeneous with the current space. If the number of samples in the second spatiotemporal sample cluster is not empty, then the average stationarity condition is satisfied. Phase stacking is calculated using samples from the first and second spatiotemporal sample clusters to obtain the average estimate of atmospheric composition at any central moment; The small-scale atmospheric estimate in the interferogram is obtained by taking the difference between the average estimates of atmospheric composition at any two center times.
[0012] According to the present invention, a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis is provided, which calculates or completes the spatiotemporal sample clusters to obtain small-scale estimates, including: An iterative K-Means binary classification method is used to classify the spatiotemporal sample clusters based on a given morphological coefficient threshold. If the number of clusters is determined to be less than the given morphological coefficient threshold, then phase stacking is used to calculate the optimal number of clusters. If the first or second spatiotemporal sample cluster is insufficient or does not meet the calculation conditions, then cubic interpolation is performed using the surrounding calculated permanent scattering points to complete the calculation and output a small-scale estimate.
[0013] According to the present invention, a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis is provided, which adds the large-scale estimate and the small-scale estimate to obtain a total atmospheric phase estimate, including: The large-scale estimate and the small-scale estimate are added together and then phase winding is performed to obtain the total atmospheric phase estimate.
[0014] Secondly, the present invention also provides a GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction system based on cluster analysis, comprising: The filtering module is used to acquire single-view complex images of multiple time phases using GB-SAR equipment, generate short baseline interferogram pairs, and filter out permanent scatterer points. The first correction module is used to perform model fitting on the permanent scatterer points based on a preset large-scale atmospheric phase correction to obtain large-scale estimated values. The second correction module is used to cluster the permanent scatterer points based on the preset small-scale atmospheric phase correction, obtain spatiotemporal sample clusters by spatial and temporal clusters, and calculate or complete the spatiotemporal sample clusters to obtain small-scale estimates. The synthesis module is used to add the large-scale estimate and the small-scale estimate to obtain the total atmospheric phase estimate.
[0015] Thirdly, the present invention also provides an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, wherein the processor executes the program to implement the GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis as described above.
[0016] Fourthly, the present invention also provides a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having a computer program stored thereon, which, when executed by a processor, implements the GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis as described above.
[0017] The GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis provided by this invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Effective removal of small-scale turbulent atmosphere: spatial clustering utilizes local clustering to increase the sample size; temporal clustering screens similar atmospheric components to avoid smoothing abrupt signal changes, thereby achieving fine correction of residual small-scale atmosphere and improving GB-SAR deformation monitoring accuracy to the sub-millimeter level.

Detailed Implementation
[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.
[0023] Figure 1 This is one of the flowcharts illustrating the GB-SAR atmospheric delay phase correction method based on cluster analysis provided in this embodiment of the invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: Step 100: Use GB-SAR equipment to acquire single-view complex images of multiple time phases, generate short baseline interferogram pairs, and screen to obtain permanent scatterer points; Step 200: Based on the preset large-scale atmospheric phase correction, perform model fitting on the permanent scatterer points to obtain large-scale estimates; Step 300: Based on the preset small-scale atmospheric phase correction, the permanent scatterer points are clustered by spatial and temporal clustering to obtain spatiotemporal sample clusters. The spatiotemporal sample clusters are calculated or completed to obtain small-scale estimates. Step 400: Add the large-scale estimate and the small-scale estimate to obtain the total atmospheric phase estimate.
[0024] like Figure 2 As shown, the overall processing flow of this embodiment of the invention includes data acquisition, PSM correction, spatial clustering, temporal clustering, and final estimation, specifically including the following steps: GB-SAR Interferometric Data Acquisition and PS Point Preprocessing: First, multiple temporal single-view complex images (SLC) are acquired using a GB-SAR device. Short baseline interferogram pairs are generated based on the device's scanning mode (angle scan or line scan). Amplitude deviation index (DA) thresholding is then applied. Coherence (COH) threshold High-quality target area (PS) points are selected using a dual-threshold screening process; these PS points typically correspond to stable ground features or artificial corner reflectors. Subsequently, the interferogram is unwrapped to determine the integer number of cycles of the wrapped phase, ensuring phase continuity. This step outputs the unwrapped interferometric phase sequence, providing fundamental data for subsequent correction.
[0025] Large-scale atmospheric phase correction: for wavelengths of The GB-SAR transmitted signal, assuming the atmospheric composition is uniform and constant, then at two certain moments of GB-SAR ( In the interferogram formed by the SLC image of ), any PS point ( The large-scale atmospheric phase obtained by integrating the radar signal along the path in the atmosphere can be simplified as follows: (1) in, , A function representing the atmospheric properties at a given moment, determined by parameters related to temperature, pressure, and humidity. For the first The distance between each PS point and the radar. In reality, the atmosphere is not homogeneous, and it is usually modeled as a polynomial function of the multiple coordinates of the PS point using a four-dimensional model: (2) in, , and The first The three-dimensional coordinates of all PS points are used. The optimal four-dimensional coordinates are then determined using the least squares method with the coordinates of all PS points and the unwrapped interference phase. The parameters will give you the time. Estimated atmospheric phase.
[0026] Small-scale atmospheric phase correction: For residual small-scale turbulent atmosphere, the idea of co-date phase stacking is introduced and optimized through clustering in both spatial and temporal dimensions.
[0027] Spatial Dimension Clustering: First, construct clustering samples. For a certain central moment In other words, symmetrically, the total before and after that moment Short baseline phases are used as clustering data: (3) Given clustering range The KD-tree method is used to quickly search for the current PS point. The nearest surrounding A PS point is formed. One sample. After clustering, clusters are obtained where the current PS point has a similar phase sequence within a short time range. When the number of samples within a cluster If the conditions are greater than a certain threshold, it is considered that there are similar phase signals in space.
[0028] Temporal clustering: Traditional methods require stable or linear deformation to obtain reliable estimates through averaging. However, when used in short-term sudden deformation or controlled deformation experiments, they can smooth out abrupt signal changes. Therefore, it is necessary to perform temporal re-clustering on the short baseline moments involved in averaging to obtain moments with similar atmospheric composition. On the contrary, Using the phase of a certain interference pair as clustering data, a spatially dimensional PS sample is formed. 1 sample, construct cluster samples .by This interference is an example: (4) It is important to note that in clustering At that time, clusters can be The atmospheric phase obtained by conventional phase stacking is taken as the initial estimate. The cluster centers are determined. Clusters of homogeneity in the current spatial region are obtained. Clusters formed by moments with similar internal atmospheric composition When the number of samples When the value is not empty, it can be considered to meet the stationarity condition required for averaging. Using , By calculating the phase stack of the samples within the range, the atmospheric composition at the center time can be estimated by averaging as follows: (5) The estimated value of the small-scale atmosphere in the interferogram is... It should be noted that, in choosing the clustering method, this invention employs an iterative K-Means binary classification method. Given a morphological coefficient threshold, samples are continuously divided into two clusters. The process iterates until the morphological coefficient is less than the threshold, thereby automatically determining the optimal number of clusters. Furthermore, if the PS point is due to… or When insufficient data results in failure to meet the calculation conditions, cubic interpolation of the surrounding calculated PS points is used to obtain complete and continuous atmospheric results.
[0029] Final atmospheric phase estimate: The large-scale and small-scale estimates are added together to obtain the total atmospheric phase estimate. (6) in This indicates a phase wrapping operation; removing the estimated total atmospheric phase from the original wrapped interferogram yields a clean interferogram containing only the deformation and noise phases. The results are optimized by iteratively estimating both large-scale and small-scale phases.
[0030] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention will illustrate the technical solution with specific examples.
[0031] (1) On-site data acquisition: A Ku-band true aperture GB-SAR instrument was deployed in the observation shed on the right bank of a large-scale inter-basin water transfer project to observe the left bank slope. On November 27, 2024, 104 SLC images were acquired at a frequency of 14 min / scene to simulate normal monitoring; on November 30, 2024, the frequency was increased to 1 min / scene to acquire 161 SLC images, and a human-controlled deformation experiment was conducted: the adjustable corner reflector deployed on the left bank slope was manually adjusted 10 times at 10-minute intervals, and each time it was moved precisely by a certain number of mm through a three-dimensional sliding rail, and returned to its original position after the experiment.
[0032] (2) Atmospheric correction comparison: Atmospheric correction was performed using both conventional methods and the method of this invention, and the clustering range was set. Sample size The comparison results of the interferograms are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, a comparison is presented between the original interferogram, the results of the PSM method, the results of the CSS method, and the results of the method of the present invention. It can be seen that the method of the present invention effectively removes the remaining atmospheric components from the PSM method, resulting in a stable residual phase while preserving spatial abrupt changes. Figure 4 As shown, the phase gradient statistics processed by each method are illustrated. The average gradient calculation results for all interferogram pairs show that the gradients of the original interferogram, the PSM method result, the CSS method result, and the result of the method of this invention are 0.15, 0.13, 0.06, and 0.11, respectively. This indicates that the phase gradient of this method is between that of the PSM method and the CSS method, and based on the polynomial model fitting, the remaining atmospheric components are further reduced by about 15%. The CSS method has a lower gradient due to its excessive smoothness. The phase gradient results of this method show that, based on the polynomial model fitting, the remaining small-scale atmospheric components are further reduced.
[0033] (3) Time series comparison: The time series deformation results obtained in the experiment of artificially adjusting the corner reflector are as follows Figure 5 As shown, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the deformation obtained by the original interferogram, the PSM method result, the CSS method result, and the method of the present invention, compared with the true recorded value, are 0.22, 0.16, 0.25, and 0.16, respectively. This indicates that compared with the original uncorrected result, the accuracy of the method of the present invention is improved, and it can avoid the phenomenon that the deformation sequence of the conventional phase stacking method is smoothed, and the accuracy calculation result is actually lower than that of the uncorrected result.
