Description

Translation-invariant and noise-robust radar image target identification method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of signal and information processing, mainly relates to SAR image target identification, and particularly relates to a radar image target identification method with constant translation and stable noise. The method can be used for realizing target classification and identification under the complex imaging condition of the actual scene of the radar.
Background
The target identification is an important ring in radar image interpretation, and plays an important role in strategic early warning, air defense guiding, situation perception and the like. The classical target identification method usually needs to meet the requirement of accurate registration of a training sample and a test sample, however, the precondition is too harsh, and an interested region extracted under the complex imaging condition of an actual scene cannot be accurately aligned with a reference sample in the target space position, so that the practical performance is greatly reduced.
John Wright et al in 2009 proposed a face recognition method based on sparse representation in the text "Robust face recognition via sparse representation" (IEEE Transactions on Pattern. analysis and Machine significance, vol.31, No.2, pp.210-227, Feb.2009), successfully solving the problem that a signal sparse representation classification method is difficult to obtain through a complete redundant dictionary; thereafter, Thiagarajan et al applied the method to target classification recognition of SAR images, "Sparse representation for automatic target classification in SAR images" (20104th International Symposium on Communications, Control and Signal Processing), explaining the physical meaning of Sparse representation recognition from the perspective of manifold. However, the classical method performs dimensionality reduction on the image in a space domain, constructs sparse representation of an unknown image, and is applied on the premise that an ideal data set, namely a test sample and a training sample, performs strict registration in the space domain. Although the classical method can obtain a better experimental result on an ideal data set, the precondition of the classical method cannot be directly applied to an actual scene, and an unknown region of interest transmitted to a classification stage after detection and identification is located in the center of an image but cannot be strictly registered with a training image, namely, the spatial offset problem exists. In addition, the classical method has poor classification effect due to factors such as target structure change, sensor measurement error and noise pollution in actual scenes, and cannot effectively cope with target identification tasks under extended working conditions.
In the SAR image target recognition, the assumption of ideal conditions, including the image center, cannot be strictly registered with a training image, the problem of spatial offset is generated, and the classification effect in the target recognition process is poor due to system errors and noise pollution.

The invention mainly develops and researches aiming at the technical problem of poor classification effect caused by space offset and system error noise pollution in the existing SAR image target identification task, and the basic thought of the invention is as follows: firstly, a reference sample is projected to a frequency domain by means of a harmonic analysis theory, then an over-complete dictionary is constructed by using a small amount of low-frequency components, sparse representation of the low-frequency components of the sample to be detected is realized by using dictionary atoms, the most sparse representation is obtained by constraining a feasible set of the representation coefficients, and finally the most attributive type judgment is carried out according to the reconstruction error of each type of sparse representation coefficients, so that the disturbance such as noise, space offset and the like can be effectively dealt with.
In the invention, the image signals are subjected to two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform, and the frequency domain energy is mainly concentrated in a few frequency bands, so that the frequency bands with concentrated energy have stronger discrimination capability than other redundant frequency bands and contain main discrimination information of the signals. The amplitude spectrum energy in the SAR image frequency spectrum after the shifting of the ftshift frequency spectrum is concentrated in the frequency spectrum wave band of the central area, and the amplitude spectrum has the characteristic of unchanged space translation and rotation, so that the frequency spectrum of the central area is only taken out, the characteristic vectors are rearranged to generate the characteristic vectors, the dimension of the characteristic vectors is reduced, and the identification capability is improved.

The method for identifying the radar image target with unchanged translation and stable noise is the same as the embodiment 1, and the method for acquiring the low-frequency component in the steps (3) and (5) comprises the following steps:
assuming that m groups of low-frequency components of a sample signal are extracted as frequency domain feature description, extracting the low-frequency components of the sample signal by using a frequency domain mask method on a frequency spectrum image obtained by two-dimensional discrete Fourier transform of the sample signal, and filtering out the high-frequency components: and performing fftshift shift on the original frequency spectrum, selecting a wave band of the center part of the shifted frequency spectrum, wherein the number m of the selected low-frequency component groups depends on the area size of the frequency domain mask. Specifically, as shown in fig. 2, fig. 2 is a frequency domain feature mask diagram, and the present invention uses a square mask to only reserve the high energy spectrum in the central area on the shifted two-dimensional spectrum image and remove the interference of the peripheral high frequency noise. The method and the device have the advantages that the noise pollution of the SAR image is not processed in the prior art, the high-frequency component containing noise is filtered through a frequency domain mask technology, the local micro-disturbance problems such as the noise pollution can be effectively solved, and more stable judgment is realized.

And respectively testing the recognition accuracy of the various algorithms under the condition of different degrees of spatial offset.

The curve with dots in the figure represents the MINACE method, the curve with upper triangular dots represents the OTSDF method, the curve with lower triangular dots represents the SRC method, the curve with five-pointed points represents the SVM method, and the curve with star-shaped dots represents the SRC methodHaMethod, curve with diamond points representing SRCGbMethod, curve with hexagonal points representing SVMFTMethod, the last curve with multiplication points represents the SRC of the inventionFTA method.

In contrast, the method SRC proposed by the present inventionFTThe effect is best, the accuracy rate of about 90% can be still kept at the moment, and the reduction range of the identification accuracy rate is small.
