1. Experimental conditions and methods
Software platform: opencv-python
The experimental method comprises the following steps: binarizing the high-resolution SAR image to be processed by using an Otsu automatic threshold segmentation method, calculating the matching degree of the high-resolution SAR image and templates in a template library by using a cross-correlation method, selecting an optimal template, and extracting the contour of the template by using a Laplacian operator to obtain a final result.
2. Simulation results
The experiment adopts the high-resolution No. 3 satellite image plane target image shown in fig. 3 and the terra SAR-X satellite image plane target image shown in fig. 6 to verify the method provided by the invention. Fig. 4 is a high-score number 3 satellite image plane target contour extraction result, and fig. 7 is a terra sar-X satellite image plane target contour extraction result.
3. Analysis of experimental results
A. The experiment adopts a Canny operator as a comparison algorithm. In the experiment, a bilateral filtering algorithm is used for filtering part of noise, and then a Canny operator is used for extracting the outline of the obtained result, the obtained result is shown in fig. 5 and 8, wherein fig. 5 is a high-resolution number 3 satellite image SAR aircraft target result, and fig. 8 is a terraSAR-X satellite image aircraft target result.
Referring to fig. 3 and 6, the aircraft target is often represented as a discrete scattering point distribution in the SAR image, and the strong scattering points are generally located at the positions where strong scattering structures exist, such as a nose, a tail wing, an engine, etc., so that the aircraft target has weak integrity and strong gesture sensitivity and is easily interfered by other surrounding ground objects, therefore, most of the edges of the strong scattering points extracted by the Canny operator cannot be used for extracting the complete aircraft contour.
B. In the method provided by the invention, the advantages and disadvantages of the template library play a decisive role in the accuracy of the finally obtained profile, so that the template library is formed by expanding aircraft templates with different numbers.
The experiment is carried out by respectively selecting n=3, 10 and 30 templates for expansion, finally obtaining template libraries with 345, 1150 and 3450 template numbers, respectively carrying out simulation experiments on a high-resolution No. 3 satellite image SAR aircraft target and a terraSAR-X satellite image aircraft target by using the three template libraries, wherein the experimental results are shown in fig. 9 (high-resolution No. 3 satellite image aircraft target contour extraction result) and fig. 10 (terraSAR-X satellite image aircraft target contour extraction result), wherein the two (a) are high-resolution No. 3 satellite image and terraSAR-X satellite image aircraft target source data, (b) and (c) and (d) are simulation results obtained by adopting the n=3 template libraries, the n=10 template libraries and the n=30 template libraries. As can be seen from the figure, when n=10 and n=30, part of templates in the template library will interfere with the results, while the template library of n=3 has higher universality, and different aircraft targets can obtain better contour results.
In summary, the method, the system, the storage medium and the equipment for extracting the high-resolution SAR aircraft target contour fully utilize the public optical remote sensing image (Google Earth) to make up the defect of smaller SAR image information quantity, and provide the method for extracting the high-resolution SAR aircraft target contour based on the heterogeneous template matching based on the defect, wherein the method can extract a complete contour for the SAR aircraft target with a discrete structure and has considerable speed.
