The invention discloses a modulation cancellation
translation error detection method suitable for a super-
large array element synthetic aperture
system. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, applying
translation error modulation to a reference sub-aperture to obtain a PSF
image sequence, and performing spectrum cancellation on adjacent images to obtain a feature
image sequence; then extracting a plurality of groups of feature values corresponding to
translation error information of each sub-aperture from the feature
image sequence, and fitting an optimal response position in a change process by using a
Gaussian function to realize coarse calibration of translation errors of each non-reference sub-aperture; and finally,
phase modulation is applied to the reference sub-aperture, spectrum cancellation is carried out on PSF images before and after modulation, phase information is extracted from an obtained feature image, and fine calibration of translation errors of each non-reference sub-aperture is realized. Wide-range and high-precision translation
error detection and correction can be realized under any aperture arrangement, additional optical elements and spectral
prior information are not needed, the anti-
noise capability is extremely high, and the method is suitable for the synthetic imaging requirement under the condition of ultra-
large array element number in the future.
