Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radars, and particularly relates to an InSAR phase unwrapping method based on a mean square volume Kalman filter.
Background
Phase unwrapping of interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) is a fundamental problem in the field of radar data processing, involving fields including radar, remote sensing, image and signal processing.
Existing studies indicate that conventional InSAR phase unwrapping methods, for example: the Branch-cut algorithm and the Least-squares algorithm can realize the relative effective and accurate unwrapping result. At present, InSAR phase unwrapping algorithms based on nonlinear tracking filters, for example: an extended Kalman filter unwrapping (EKFPU) algorithm, an unscented Kalman filter unwrapping (UKFPU) algorithm and a volumetric Kalman filter unwrapping (CKFPU) algorithm can effectively improve the InSAR phase unwrapping effect.
EKFPU is the simplest unwrapping algorithm based on a nonlinear tracking filter. When the InSAR phase diagram is simple and has high reliability, the EKFPU algorithm works well. Compared with the EKFPU algorithm, the UKFPU algorithm has better unwrapping effect. However, when the InSAR phase diagram has low reliability, such as a complex interferometric phase diagram, the unwrapping effect of both the EKFPU and the UKFPU algorithms is not ideal. Because the spherical volume rule and the radial rule are used for optimizing the signal points and the weight, the capacity of nonlinear estimation of a high-dimensional state is greatly improved by a volume Kalman filter (CKF) algorithm. Therefore, CKFPU is a well-behaved non-linear unwrapping algorithm.
When applying any of the aforementioned non-linear filtering methods to unwrap an InSAR phase map, it is important that the error covariance matrix remains symmetric and positive at each step of the update. However, due to the introduction of finite word length errors and the use of Cholesy operations to decompose the error covariance matrix, CKF often loses both of the basic properties of the error covariance matrix. Thus, the CKFPU algorithm is forced to stop running, and the whole unwinding process is interrupted.
Disclosure of Invention
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention aims to provide an InSAR phase unwrapping method based on a mean square volumetric kalman filter (SCKF). According to the method, the least square method is used for processing the Kalman gain and QR operation is adopted for decomposing the error covariance matrix, so that the mean square volume Kalman filter can well keep the symmetry and the normality of the error covariance matrix. In this way, the mean square cubature Kalman filter based unwrapping (SCKFPU) algorithm can set parameters arbitrarily, and better unwrapping performance is obtained. Meanwhile, the optimal tracking path model is designed, and the optimal phase unwrapping path is selected based on the optimal tracking path model, so that the whole phase unwrapping is carried out from a region with high quality of the phase diagram to a region with low quality, and a better unwrapping effect can be obtained.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

wherein q (m, n) is the mass of the pixel (m, n); der (m, n) denotes the pixel (m, n) phase derivative variance; coh (m, n) represents a coherence coefficient of the pixel (m, n); r is a weight adjustment parameter;
(4.2) initializing the optimized tracking path model, i.e. selecting the starting pixel of unwrapping { x }0,y0Instruction ofFour neighbors of the starting pixelAdding pixels which are not unwound in the domain into a waiting set;
(4.3) calculating the quality of each pixel in the waiting set according to the optimized tracking path model, and selecting the pixel with the minimum quality as the current pixel to be unwound;
(4.4) adopting a mean square volume Kalman filter algorithm to perform unwrapping on the current pixel to be unwrapped to obtain an unwrapping result of the current pixel;
(4.5) updating the waiting set: moving out the current unwrapped pixels from the waiting set, and adding the pixels which are not unwrapped in the four neighborhoods of the pixels into the waiting set to form an updated waiting set;
and (4.6) judging whether the updated waiting set has pixels, if so, turning to (4.3), otherwise, ending the unwrapping process to obtain an unwrapping result of the whole interference phase diagram.
Compared with the conventional InSAR phase unwrapping technology based on the nonlinear tracking filter, the method has the beneficial effects that:
(1) the invention adopts QR operation to decompose an error covariance matrix and a least square method to decompose Kalman gain. Therefore, under the constraint of semi-normality and symmetry of the error covariance matrix, the SCKFPU algorithm can freely select parameters without destroying the two basic characteristics, and the continuity of the whole phase unwrapping process is ensured.
(2) The invention designs a path tracking function. By minimizing this function, the SCKFPU algorithm works along the optimal unwrapping path. Therefore, the entire phase unwrapping is performed from the region of high quality phase map to the region of low quality phase map, and a better unwrapping effect can be obtained.

The method comprises the following steps that a mean square cubature Kalman filter algorithm is adopted to perform unwrapping on a current pixel to be unwrapped, and the unwrapping is based on a single pixel and comprises two parts, namely time updating and measurement value updating;

In the invention, the smaller the value of the quality estimation function q (m, n), the higher the InSAR phase diagram quality, and conversely, the worse the quality. Therefore, by minimizing the path tracking function q (m, n), an optimal unwrapping path is found, thereby ensuring that the InSAR phase unwrapping proceeds from a region of high phase map quality to a region of low phase map quality.
Simulation experiment
The correctness and effectiveness of the present invention are further illustrated by experiments below.
(1) Evaluation index
The simulation experiment adopts three technical indexes of residual number (residual number), Mean Square Error (MSE) based on a winding phase diagram and error Number (NELP) larger than pi to evaluate the quality of the unwrapping algorithm.
The number of residuals is defined as the number of nonzero sums of the winding gradients for a 2 x 2 region in the InSAR image. In general, a smaller number of residues means better unwinding performance.
Winding phase map MSE based definition
Where E represents the statistical mathematical expectation,representing the InSAR phase without noise,representing the winding phase generated based on the unwrapping phase, |, representing the modulo.
Generally, the smaller the MSE value, the better the InSAR phase unwrapping performance.
In addition, NELP definition
NELP:=Ns-|I|,
The smaller the NELP value, the better the phase discontinuity after unwrapping is maintained.
(2) Simulation parameters:
the three simulations were performed based on different data sets. The adjustment parameter of the optimal path tracking function is set to be 1.8.
(3) Simulation content:
the data for simulation 1 was derived from the Longs Peak dataset. This data is the simulation data synthesized by a high performance InSAR simulator, the data collection site is in Colorado, the size of the data is 151 x 457. Under the simulation parameters, an EKFPU algorithm, a UKFPU algorithm and an SCKFPU algorithm based on optimal path tracking are respectively adopted for phase unwrapping. The unwrapped image and the difference wrapped image are shown in fig. 2, and the residue number, MSE and NELP performance comparisons are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 comparison of parameter Performance for different algorithms
Although the EKFPU and UKFPU algorithms are simple, the phase unwrapping problem is a highly nonlinear optimization problem. Thus, as can be seen from fig. 2, the unwrapping effect of these two algorithms is less than ideal for such more complex synthetic data sets. Furthermore, the unwrapping performance of the CKFPU algorithm is the worst due to the reduced feasible range of selection parameters. Compared with other algorithms, the SCKFPU algorithm has the least speckle noise in a small elliptical area and the best filtering and unwrapping performance. Similar conclusions can be drawn from the data in table 1, with the SCKFPU algorithm not only having the minimum MSE values, but also having the minimum number of residuals. In addition, the NELP value of the SCKFPU algorithm is minimum, which means that the SCKFPU algorithm of the invention can better maintain the continuity of the image.
In addition, the SCKFPU algorithm of the invention is respectively based on the designed optimal path tracking function and the optimal path tracking function der (m, n) [1-coh (m, n)]rThe data set is phase unwrapped. The corresponding SCKFPU methods are referred to as SCKFPU1 and SCKFPU2, respectively. The unwrapped image and the difference wrapped image are shown in fig. 3, and the residue number and MSE performance comparison is shown in table 2.
FIG. 3 and Table 2 show that the unwrapping performance based on the designed optimized tracking path is better than that based on the phase quality estimation function der (m, n) [1-coh (m, n) ]]rNot only has fewer number of residue, but also has smaller MSE and NELP.
TABLE 2 number of residuals and MSE for different treatment methods
Data for simulation 2 was derived from the C-band, 1 day apart, heavy-track (repeat-pass) ENVISAT-ASAR dataset. The data is actually measured data, the data acquisition place is Tianjin in China, and the size of the data is 891 multiplied by 891. Under the simulation parameters, an EKFPU algorithm, a UKFPU algorithm and an SCKFPU algorithm based on optimal path tracking are respectively adopted for phase unwrapping. The raw data and the corresponding coherence map are shown in fig. 4. The unwrapped image and the difference-wrapped image are shown in fig. 5, and the residue number comparison is shown in table 3.
TABLE 3 comparison of residuals for different algorithms
As can be seen from fig. 4(b), the coherence value of each pixel of the measured data is substantially high, so the data is simple.
As can be seen from fig. 5 and table 3, for this simple measured data set, the three types of unwrapping algorithms based on the nonlinear tracking filter can perform phase unwrapping and noise filtering simultaneously, and exhibit good unwrapping effect. The unwrapping performance of the SCKFPU algorithm is slightly superior to that of the EKFPU algorithm and the UKFPU algorithm, the best difference wrapped image is provided, the number of residual points is the least, and the advantage of the invention on the processing of complex data is more obvious.
The data set for simulation 3 was derived from a European space agency ERS-1/ERS-2InSAR single vision complex image pair. This is measured data, and the data collection site is the area near Greek Nazeppary (38 ° 18 '30 "to 38 ° 19' 30" for north latitude, 23 ° 01 '15 "to 23 ° 4' 24" for east longitude), and the size of the data is 249 × 199. Under the simulation parameters, an EKFPU algorithm, a UKFPU algorithm and an SCKFPU algorithm based on optimal path tracking are respectively adopted for phase unwrapping. The raw data and the corresponding coherence map are shown in fig. 6. The unwrapped image and the difference wrapped image are shown in fig. 7.
As can be seen from fig. 6(a), this measured data is heavily contaminated with noise. A similar conclusion can also be obtained from fig. 6 (b). Fig. 6(b) shows that the coherence value of each pixel of this data is substantially small, indicating that this data is heavily contaminated with noise. Therefore, it is very challenging to unwrap this data with a non-linear tracking filter algorithm.
The entire analysis is quite quantitative because there is no real phase surface. As can be seen from fig. 5, compared to EKFPU, UKFPU and CKFPU,the difference unwrapped image of the SCKFPU algorithm has less speckle noise. This means that the SCKFPU algorithm of the present invention can filter more noise and has better unwrapping effect. Consider thatWherein the content of the first and second substances,is the phase obtained by rewinding after the unwinding,is the original noisy winding phase. Since ε is usually small, if the estimation error is smallAt large values of the discontinuity areas, the corresponding non-linear filter smoothes the discontinuity areas excessively. As is apparent from fig. 6(a), discontinuity occurs in the measured data connecting the top of the mountain and the top of the true interference phase. Fig. 7(b), 7(d), 7(f) and 7(h) are difference wrap images using the EKFPU algorithm, the UKFPU algorithm, the CKFPU algorithm and the SCKFPU algorithm of the present invention, respectively. Comparing the values of the pixels (57,65) in the graphs, fig. 7(b), fig. 7(d) and fig. 7(f) are all large and fig. 7(h) is small. This means that EKFPU, UKFPU and CKFPU algorithms excessively smooth the discontinuous regions and cannot find the discontinuous regions well, whereas the SCKFPU algorithm of the present invention not only minimizes the structural errors but also minimizes the deviations.
In addition, the SCKFPU algorithm is adopted to perform phase unwrapping on the data set based on the designed optimized path tracking model and the coherent value based on the pixel only respectively. The corresponding SCKFPU methods are referred to as SCKFPUop and SCKFPUco, respectively. The adjustment parameter of the optimal path tracking model is set to be 2.2. The unwrapped image and the difference wrapped image are shown in fig. 8.
From the simulation conclusion of FIG. 8, it can be seen that SCKFPUcoThe unwrapped image has a lot of speckle noise. Furthermore, SCKFPUopThe value of the pixel (93,124) in the difference wrap-around image is much smaller than the SCKFPUcoThe difference value wraps around the value of the image. This means SCKFPUopThe algorithm is able to preserve image discontinuities very well.
