The application relates to the field of low-altitude inspection, and discloses a river obstacle monitoring and identifying method based on a
millimeter wave radar, which is used for improving the real-time performance and robustness of river obstacle monitoring. The method comprises the following steps: collecting
millimeter wave radar original
intermediate frequency data and high-overlap-rate
aerial image streams synchronously to generate a multi-
source data set; filtering water surface
clutter by using a distance-Doppler spectrum, extracting a strong scattering target, and calculating a spatial coordinate to generate an effective target
point cloud; selecting an elevation peak point as a rigid
control point through a geographic grid, and combining with aerial
triangulation calculation to generate a river correction
digital surface model. The application adopts a hard-wired synchronous trigger mechanism to ensure the space-
time alignment of the multi-
source data, optimizes the stability of the elevation
control point through neighborhood density checking and anisotropic weighted adjustment, and outputs a monitoring result including the position, height and
projected area of the obstacle, so that the real-time performance, accuracy and robustness of the river obstacle monitoring are significantly improved.
