The invention discloses an ocean
wave parameter extraction method based on an SFS technology. According to the Lambertian scattering law, relations between the relative
echo intensity and the incident angle, the direction slope and the distance slope are derived, the SFS technology and transformation formulas of polarization direction angles caused by the direction slope and the distance slope of the ocean surface are combined to solve slope values of pixels of the ocean surface, and a direction slope spectrum and a distance slope spectrum are obtained respectively by using
fast Fourier transform. Spectral peak positions are searched, wave number vector information is acquired, 180-degree ocean wave direction blur is eliminated, ocean
wave propagation directions are determined, the
wavelength is calculated according to relations between the wave number and the
wavelength, the ocean
wave period is solved through ocean wave dispersion relations, and the
significant wave height is calculated by the average slope and the
wavelength. According to the ocean
wave parameter extraction method, ocean wave spectrum inversion can be performed without a
modulation transfer function, parameters such as the ocean wavelength, the period, the
significant wave height and the ocean wave direction can be extracted, and the method is applicable to images acquired by high-frequency radars.
