Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a radar remote sensing earth observation technology, in particular to a super-resolution polarization SAR chromatography vegetation vertical structure and an under-forest terrain inversion method and device based on scattering mechanism decomposition under the condition of a small amount of non-uniform sampling data.
Background
Ecological civilization construction is one of the important layouts for the development of China, and the investigation and the protection of forest resources play an important role. Forests contain a wide variety of vegetation and are one of the most valuable natural resources on earth. The forest plays a great role in maintaining global carbon-oxygen balance, maintaining diversity of ecological systems, adjusting atmospheric humidity and the like. The vertical structure of the vegetation in the forest is an important parameter for quantitatively analyzing the forest, and has important significance for estimation of global biomass, measurement of under-forest topography, dynamic monitoring of the forest and the like.
The long-wave band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technology has strong penetrating power and is applied to perspective mapping of forests. Synthetic Aperture Radar Tomography (TomoSAR) has three-dimensional imaging capability by forming Synthetic apertures in the height direction and the azimuth direction respectively through multiple approximately parallel flights of a sensor (fig. 1). In radar signals, forest vegetation and under-forest landforms have different scattering mechanisms, and different polarization channels of SAR images have different sensitivities to different scattering mechanisms. Therefore, the Polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (Pol-TomoSAR) technique is becoming an important technical means for forest vegetation parameter inversion.
In the field of SAR tomography of vegetation, periodogram methods, adaptive beamforming methods, multiple signal classification methods, and the like have been widely used for three-dimensional imaging of vegetation. The resolution and reconstruction accuracy of such conventional spectral analysis methods are often limited by the number and distribution of samples. The observation quantity is small, the base line distribution is uneven, the chromatographic result has serious side lobe effect, the resolution is low, and the influence of noise is large. Increasing the observation data means a large amount of observation cost, and brings the influence of temporal incoherence. The Compressive Sensing method can well overcome the limitation of data sampling, but the traditional Compressive Sensing method (CS) based on l1 norm convex optimization needs to set user parameters, and it is difficult to select a parameter generally applicable to all models and scenes. In addition, the convex optimization has huge computation load, and the application of the method is limited.

Detailed Description
In order to more clearly illustrate the object, implementation process and technical advantages of the present invention, the present embodiment selects P-band fully polarized SAR data obtained by a Tropi-SAR 2009 item ONERA SETHI flight system, and further details the method provided by the present invention. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not limiting. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
The invention relates to a vegetation vertical structure decomposed based on a scattering mechanism and an under-forest terrain inversion method, which are super-resolution sparse reconstruction methods. In order to illustrate the superior performance of the method, the performance of different chromatography SAR methods under different numbers of fully polarized SAR data is analyzed in the specific implementation, and then the understory terrain and vegetation height are inverted by only adopting the fully polarized SAR data with 3 baselines.
The specific implementation steps of this embodiment are shown in fig. 2 and fig. 3, and include:
step 1, acquiring a multi-baseline multi-polarization SAR data set of a forest inversion region, and performing registration and land leveling processing to obtain polarization chromatography SAR data. The method comprises the following specific steps:
(1) And selecting a tropiSAR2009 project full-polarization SAR image as experimental data.
(2) And (3) registration: for a specified polarization channel (such as an HH polarization channel), one of the acquired N scenes of SAR images is selected as a reference image, and the rest N-1 scenes of SAR images are registered into a coordinate frame of the reference image by applying a maximized coherence coefficient. The SAR images of the remnant polarization channels (HV, VH, VV) are then registered using the same polynomial as the HH polarization channel.
(3) Land leveling: i.e. removing the interference phase caused by the land effect.
(4) Data discretization: after the above processing, for the polarized SAR tomographic data with the selected polarization mode, the complex value after focusing the distance-azimuth plane pixel (r, x) is:
in the formula b n Is a vertical baseline, Δ s is the elevation-wise sampling range, γ (r, x, s) is the elevation-wise reflectance function, ξ n =2πb n And/λ r is the spatial frequency.

The observed values of N-dimensional SAR data formed by SAR data corresponding to HV, VH and VV polarization modes are respectively g HH 、g HV 、g VH 、g VV (ii) a N is the number of baselines; g in the single-station backscatter regime HV =g VH Therefore, the polarimetric SAR data finally obtained in step 1 can be expressed asFor a multi-baseline tomographic SAR dataset, after D discrete samplings of the highly up-going continuous signal, (1) can be expressed as the following matrix form:
g=Aγ+e (2)
where g is an N-dimensional observation. A = exp (j 2 π ξ) n s d ),s d E is an N-dimensional noise vector for the spatial height of the scatterers.
And 2, calculating a multi-baseline multi-polarization covariance matrix of the polarization chromatography SAR data, and decomposing and calculating an interference covariance matrix of canopy scattering and surface scattering.
For SAR chromatography of forest vegetation, the different sensitivities of different polarization channels to different scattering mechanisms are often used to extract the under-forest topography and vegetation height, for example, the under-forest topography is extracted in the chromatogram of HH polarization channel, and the canopy height is extracted in the chromatogram of HV polarization channel. However, because the forest scene is complex, the backscatter energy of each polarization does not have such a regular distribution, and the foregoing strategy for extracting different scattering mechanisms may cause a certain deviation. In addition, the polarized SAR tomography technique based on scattering mechanism decomposition of the present invention requires that the measured signal be sparse (only a few elements in the signal vector are non-zero). In forest regions, the scattering of vegetation signals is a continuous process, and ground signals have sparsity, so that the method adopts different sparsity bases to sparsely express signals of two different scattering mechanisms of a canopy and the earth surface.
In order to more accurately extract the positions of phase centers of different scattering mechanisms and carry out sparse expression on the different scattering mechanisms, the method calculates the covariance matrix of the polarization chromatography SAR data obtained in the step 1 to obtain a multi-baseline multi-polarization covariance matrix, and then separates two different scattering mechanisms (surface scattering and canopy scattering) by using an algebraic synthesis method:

b is an intermediate parameter, and B = A ^ conj (A), "Khatri-Rao product", A is an intermediate parameter, A = exp (j 2 π ξ) n s d ),s d Is the spatial height, ξ, of the scattering body n Is the spatial frequency; Ψ g The sparse basis of wavelet representing the scattering of earth surface adopts unit orthogonal basis, psi v A wavelet sparse basis representing canopy scattering;
p g 、p v respectively are backscattering power vectors of surface scattering and canopy scattering;

the updating of the hyper-parameter vector is performed by minimizing the following objective function:
e, repeating the steps c and D until any iteration termination condition is met, and using the first D hyper-parameters gamma in the hyper-parameter vector gamma (1…D) The chromatograms (i.e. spatial power spectra) of the canopy scatter and surface scatter were calculated:

Meanwhile, gaussian prior distribution is very beneficial to development of sparse Bayesian learning.

And traversing each pixel in the multi-baseline and multi-polarization SAR data according to the method to obtain the under-forest terrain and vegetation height of the whole forest inversion region.
By analyzing different scattering chromatographic spectrums, under-forest landforms and vegetation heights inverted by example data, the method can obtain clear chromatographic spectrums under a small amount of observation data, hardly receives noise images and has high resolution. Whereas traditional spectral analysis methods beamformming and Capon, even using fully polarized data, are still unable to completely distinguish between scatterers of different scattering mechanisms. As the number of baselines decreases, the performance of both methods is so greatly affected that scatterers of different heights cannot be distinguished. The method of the invention is less affected by the number of images, and even under the condition of only using 3 pieces of baseline SAR data, the reconstruction performance is still kept high. In addition, the method of the invention can obtain reliable inversion results of the under-forest terrain and vegetation height only under the condition of using 3 pieces of baseline full polarization SAR data.
