Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of broadband radar signal processing, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive fusion detection method based on multi-scattering point estimation and clutter knowledge assistance.
Background
Unlike low-resolution narrow-band radar, the broadband radar has large bandwidth and high range resolution, has obvious advantages in the aspects of anti-interference, anti-reconnaissance, accurate detection and imaging, high-precision tracking, target identification and the like, has attracted wide attention in the fields of modern military and civil use, and has become an important direction for the development of modern radars. The distance resolution unit of the narrow-band radar is generally far larger than the geometric size of a common target, a target echo signal only occupies one distance resolution unit, and the actual target is often treated as a 'point target'. And echo signals of the broadband radar target not only occupy one distance resolution unit, but also are distributed in different radial distance resolution units to be presented as a one-dimensional range image to form a range extension target. With the wide application of broadband radars, the problem of detecting extended-range targets is receiving more and more attention, and becomes one of the hot spots and difficult problems in the radar signal processing field in recent years.
On one hand, target echoes observed by the broadband radar are distributed on a plurality of radial distance units, if a point target detection method of the narrow-band radar is still adopted, target detection is carried out on echo signals by aiming at a single distance unit, and sampling of adjacent distance units is utilized to carry out background clutter statistical characteristic estimation, energy of a strong scattering point of a distance extension target leaks into the adjacent distance units to form a signal pollution phenomenon, and further a shielding effect is formed on the target signals of the single distance unit to be detected, so that the target cannot be detected. On the other hand, the adaptive detection of the broadband radar target is influenced by various factors such as the complexity and the variability of the natural environment of the target, electromagnetic interference and the like, and the clutter statistical characteristic no longer meets the assumption condition of the independent and identically distributed uniform environment, which is particularly prominent in the detection scene of the broadband radar target, so that the existing distance extension target detection method is difficult to obtain an ideal detection effect. The existing clutter models mainly comprise a uniform environment, a partial uniform environment, a non-Gaussian clutter environment, a heterogeneous clutter environment and the like. In a distance extended target detection model under a partial uniform environment, clutter components in data (also called main data) of a plurality of distance units to be detected and reference distance unit data (also called auxiliary data) only containing pure clutter are assumed to have the same covariance matrix structure but different power levels; in a non-gaussian clutter environment modeled by a complex gaussian distribution, clutter components in the main data and the auxiliary data are assumed to have the same covariance matrix structure but different clutter power levels between different distance units. In the two clutter models, clutter components are assumed to have the same covariance matrix structure, but in the actual environments of complex sea clutter, ground clutter and the like faced by broadband radar detection, the uniformity of the clutter covariance matrix structure among different distance units can be further destroyed due to the existence of various interference factors, and the assumed conditions that the clutter components in the uniform, partially uniform and non-Gaussian clutter models have the same covariance matrix structure cannot be met. At the moment, a heterogeneous clutter model is needed to carry out environment modeling, clutter covariance matrix structures among different distance units in the heterogeneous clutter environment are similar but different, and the clutter covariance matrix structures in the auxiliary data and the main data need to be linked through reasonable prior distribution.
Under a detection scene of a broadband radar, aiming at the characteristic that a clutter covariance matrix structure between different distance units in an actual heterogeneous clutter environment is non-uniform, how to utilize reasonable prior distribution, accurately estimating clutter statistical information in a plurality of distance units in main data based on heterogeneous clutter information contained in auxiliary data, and establishing a high-precision distance extension target multi-scattering point amplitude estimation method while considering the estimation accuracy of the main data clutter covariance matrix structure, so as to establish distance extension target detection statistics in a closed form.
