Description

Curve synthetic aperture radar self-adaptive three-dimensional imaging method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of digital signal processing, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive three-dimensional imaging method suitable for an SAR (synthetic aperture radar) under a curved aperture, which can be used for real-time detection and imaging of a high-speed platform.
Background
The synthetic aperture radar SAR can detect and image an observation area all day long, all weather long distance, and has wide application field. Most of the SAR systems currently used by people work in the front side view level flight mode. These SAR systems rely on transmitting large time-wide bandwidth product signals to obtain high resolution in the range direction and rely on platform motion to form a large synthetic aperture in the azimuth direction to obtain high resolution in the azimuth direction, but this method can only perform two-dimensional imaging. However, in many applications, such as navigation, autonomous landing, high-precision three-dimensional topographic mapping, etc., it is desirable for the SAR system to operate in a front-looking side view mode and to image the observation region in three dimensions. In addition, the three-dimensional imaging of the observation area has good application value for the detection of the hidden target. The research and development of the SAR system with the three-dimensional imaging capability have important significance.
The curve SAR enables the radar platform to move along a curve in an azimuth-altitude direction plane, so that the azimuth aperture is formed, and meanwhile, the aperture accumulation is carried out in the altitude direction, and the three-dimensional imaging capability is achieved. Since data sampling of the curve SAR in a three-dimensional space is incomplete, designing an effective imaging algorithm is a key to perform high-precision three-dimensional imaging on a target. Most of the existing curve SAR three-dimensional imaging algorithms use RELAX algorithm to estimate the position of scattering point on the basis of three-dimensional Fourier transform of echo data. However, the computation amount of the three-dimensional fourier transform is very large, and after the characteristics of each scattering point are obtained, the RELAX algorithm needs to update all the scattering points in front through iteration, so that the computation complexity is high, and the imaging efficiency is very low. The document "Zhang Zi-shan.research on the 3-D imaging Technology of curricular SAR [ D ], [ Master distribution ], national University of failure Technology, 2009", proposes a dimension-reduced RELAX algorithm aiming at the characteristic of complicated operation of the RELAX algorithm, converts a three-dimensional feature extraction problem into two-dimensional feature extraction problems, greatly reduces the operation amount, and reduces the operation time. However, the method is still based on the idea of three-dimensional fourier transform, the computation amount is still large, the imaging efficiency is low, and the requirement of real-time imaging is difficult to meet.
The article "Pang sho-bao, zhang Xiao-ling.imaging of downward-looking 3D circle SAR by BP algorithm, [ J ]. Electronic Science and Technology,2010,23 (12): 14-17" breaks through the idea of traditional three-dimensional Fourier transform, proposes to use a back projection BP algorithm to perform three-dimensional imaging, and realizes energy accumulation on each imaging grid through integration along a slope course.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a curve synthetic aperture radar self-adaptive three-dimensional imaging method aiming at the defects in the prior art and fully considering the sparsity of target distribution in an actual scene so as to reduce the operation amount and improve the imaging efficiency.
The technical idea of the invention is as follows: finding a target pointer by mountain climbing search on the one-dimensional range profile, and setting all signal values except the target pointer on the one-dimensional range profile to be 0 to obtain a sparse one-dimensional range profile; establishing a gridding imaging plane on a ground plane, and translating the plane upwards for a plurality of times along the height direction at equal intervals to obtain a plurality of gridding imaging planes; in each gridding imaging plane, only the grids corresponding to the sparse one-dimensional distance image peak value are projected, and the other grids are not projected; arranging all the projected gridding imaging planes into a three-dimensional data block from bottom to top according to the sequence from low to high in height to obtain a final three-dimensional imaging result. The concrete implementation steps comprise:

Existing BP 165.4
The invention 124.4
2.3 Analysis of experimental results:
as can be seen from FIG. 9 (b), the present invention can perform three-dimensional imaging on an observation scene, and the relative geometric position relationship between scattering points is correct. As can be seen from FIGS. 9 (c) to 9 (e), the geometric relationship of the scattering points in the three-dimensional space can be correctly reflected by the projection imaging performed on different imaging planes. As can be seen from FIGS. 9 (f) and 9 (g), the three-dimensional imaging results have good peak side lobe ratios in the range direction and the azimuth direction, and the side lobes are below-12 dB.
As can be seen from fig. 9 (h), the side lobes are degraded, about-10 dB, due to the uneven distribution of radar sampling points in the elevation direction, but still the scattering points can be resolved in the elevation direction.
As can be seen from fig. 9 (i) to 9 (k), the three views of the three-dimensional imaging exhibit a geometric positional relationship of the scattering points in accordance with fig. 9 (a), and in accordance with the two-dimensional projection results of fig. 9 (c) to 9 (e).
As can be seen from table 4, the three-dimensional imaging efficiency of the present invention is superior to that of the existing BP imaging algorithm.
In conclusion, the imaging efficiency of the three-dimensional imaging method is superior to that of the traditional BP algorithm.
