Description

Imaging method, device and equipment based on millimeter wave and storage medium
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radar imaging, and particularly relates to an imaging method, an imaging device, imaging equipment and a storage medium based on millimeter waves.
Background
With the rapid development of millimeter wave technology, the application field of millimeter wave technology is also wider and wider, such as the security inspection field. The millimeter wave human body security check instrument is a human body security check device which can utilize millimeter waves to image the penetrating capability of ordinary clothes so as to determine whether suspected articles are hidden on the body surface of a checked human body. In terms of antenna distribution, the millimeter wave human body security inspection instrument can be divided into a linear array scanning structure and an area array scanning structure, and at present, the linear array scanning structure is developed more at home and abroad.
The antenna layout in the linear array scanning structure generally adopts an arrangement mode of transmitting and receiving separation but close distance, so that the equivalent phase center can be used for replacing the antenna layout. To avoid aliasing in the image, the equivalent phase center is required to satisfy the nyquist sampling theorem. However, for high-band signals, this will cause the antenna spacing to be further reduced, resulting in poor transmit-receive isolation. For this problem, a sparse linear array mode is generally adopted for antenna layout arrangement, so as to increase the antenna spacing and improve the transmit-receive isolation. Therefore, when imaging processing is carried out, the antenna structure with separated transmitting and receiving can be subjected to single-station approximation by using the equivalent phase center, namely, the positions of the transmitting and receiving antennas are approximated to the same position, phase compensation is carried out on the single-station approximation, and then a universal near-field imaging algorithm is adopted to obtain a millimeter wave holographic imaging result.
However, for the millimeter wave human body security inspection instrument, since the human body is close to the antenna, it is difficult for the single-station approximation to perform phase compensation in a way of completely compensating for the phase error of the single-station approximation, resulting in low imaging accuracy.

Detailed Description
In the following description, for purposes of explanation and not limitation, specific details are set forth, such as particular system structures, techniques, etc. in order to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments of the invention. It will be apparent, however, to one skilled in the art that the present invention may be practiced in other embodiments that depart from these specific details. In other instances, detailed descriptions of well-known systems, devices, circuits, and methods are omitted so as not to obscure the description of the present invention with unnecessary detail.
In order to explain the technical means of the present invention, the following description will be given by way of specific examples.
As shown in fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a sparse linear array scanning antenna structure, which includes two dimensions of X and Y, where X represents a linear array direction, Y represents a mechanical movement direction of a linear array, and a dotted line represents a position where the linear array moves along with the mechanical movement.
As described in the related art, for an imaging device that performs antenna layout arrangement in a sparse linear array manner, it is necessary to perform single-station approximation on a transmit-receive separated antenna structure using an equivalent phase center and use a range migration algorithm to improve imaging efficiency by means of a fast fourier algorithm. However, when the range migration algorithm is used for processing a scene in a sparse array mode, phase compensation needs to be performed on a single-station approximation so as to ensure good focusing of an image. However, for the millimeter wave human body security check instrument, since the human body is close to the antenna, it is difficult for the single-station approximation to completely compensate the phase error of the single-station approximation by using a phase compensation method, resulting in low imaging accuracy.
In order to solve the problems in the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide an imaging method, an imaging device, imaging equipment, and a storage medium based on millimeter waves. The millimeter wave-based imaging method provided by the embodiment of the invention is first described below.
The imaging device which adopts the sparse linear array mode to carry out antenna layout arrangement can send out millimeter waves to a target to be imaged through an antenna, and therefore millimeter wave signals, namely echo signals, returned by a template to be imaged can be received.
By taking fig. 1 as an example, a technical concept of the millimeter wave-based imaging method provided by the embodiment of the invention is introduced. Assuming that the transmit and receive antennas have the same y-coordinate, denoted as y ', the x-coordinates of the transmit and receive antennas are x't、x′rThe coordinate of the plane in the z direction is z0Then, for an echo with a wavenumber k, the following equation can be expressed:
Figure BDA0003034957630000061
where ρ (x, y, z) is the target contrast function of the target to be imaged.
According to the backprojection algorithm, the target contrast function can be expressed as follows:
Figure BDA0003034957630000062
considering the complexity of the summation over wavenumber k in equation (2), the target contrast function can be further expressed as:
Figure BDA0003034957630000063
that is, the following formula:
Figure BDA0003034957630000064
thus, the key to imaging is how to solve for ρk(x,y,z)。
The following expression may be defined:
Figure BDA0003034957630000071
then, the above equation (4) can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003034957630000072
further, equation (6) may be written as to x'tThe form of summation of (a):
Figure BDA0003034957630000073
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0003034957630000074
thus, as can be derived from equations (3) and (7), the solution of the target contrast function can be translated into a solution of different emission locations x'tAt different wavenumbers k
Figure BDA00030349576300000714
In fact, equation (8) can be expressed in terms of a convolution with y, i.e.:
Figure BDA0003034957630000075
fourier transform on y is performed on both sides of equation (9) and we can obtain:
Figure BDA0003034957630000076
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0003034957630000077
and
Figure BDA0003034957630000078
are respectively
Figure BDA0003034957630000079
Figure BDA00030349576300000710
And
Figure BDA00030349576300000711
fourier transform on y.
Then, formula (10) may be represented as relating to x'rThe discrete summation form of (a):
Figure BDA00030349576300000712
thus, it is possible to obtain:
Figure BDA00030349576300000713
further, equation (12) can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003034957630000081
wherein the content of the first and second substances,
Figure BDA0003034957630000082
thus, the final target contrast function can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003034957630000083
the formula (14) shows that the solution of the target contrast function can be decomposed into a plurality of independent computing units for computing respectively, and then the computing results of the independent computing units are summed. The formula (14) can show that the calculation does not need to use interpolation processing in a range migration algorithm, and the method has the characteristic of high parallelization. As shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram of the calculation process of equation (14), where each small square in FIG. 2 corresponds to one calculation unit PU, that is, equation (14)
Figure BDA0003034957630000084
As can be seen from fig. 2, the solution problem of the target contrast function can be decomposed into a plurality of calculation units to independently calculate and then sum the calculation processes.
It should be noted that the computations of these PUs are independent from each other, so that the imaging time can be shortened by parallel computation.
In summary, the problem of solving the target contrast function can be decomposed into calculation results of a plurality of independent calculation units, the independent calculation units can calculate the contrast functions at a certain frequency point, a certain transmitting position and a certain receiving position, and then the three dimensions are traversed and summed to obtain the final target contrast function, namely the imaging result. Because the algorithm does not use any approximation, errors caused by interpolation calculation used in the conventional range migration algorithm are avoided.
Taking imaging of a human body as an example, in the process of imaging and scanning a certain person, the three dimensions of the frequency point, the transmitting position and the receiving position of the transmitting signal can determine a specific traversal range according to the actual situation, and referring to fig. 2 again, the transmitting frequency can correspond to the wave number, and the number of points is m; the number of the emission positions is n; the number of points for a receiving location is p points. Thus, three dimensions form a three-dimensional coordinate system, each grid unit corresponds to a calculation unit, and in a specific calculation process, traversal can be performed according to the sequence of frequency, transmitting antennas and receiving antennas, so that a result determined by three dimensions (frequency, transmitting antennas and receiving antennas) can be obtained, and then all the results are superposed, namely a final result, namely a target contrast function of the target to be imaged.
The following describes an execution subject of the millimeter wave-based imaging method.
The subject of execution of the millimeter wave based imaging method may be a millimeter wave based imaging device, which may be a terminal device having a processor and a memory, for example an imaging device employing millimeter wave technology, such as a millimeter wave human body security tester.
As shown in fig. 3, the millimeter wave-based imaging method provided in the embodiment of the present invention may include the following steps:
and step S310, receiving an echo signal of the target to be imaged.
Step S320, traversing and calculating contrast functions of all the preset three-dimensional coordinate points of the echo signal in the preset three-dimensional space region.
The preset three-dimensional space area is constructed based on a preset frequency interval, a preset transmitting position interval and a preset receiving position interval, the preset frequency interval is a frequency range of a transmitting signal of the imaging device, the preset transmitting position interval is a position interval of a transmitting antenna of the imaging device, and the preset receiving position interval is a position interval of a receiving antenna of the imaging device.
In some embodiments, the three-dimensional spatial region may be divided into a plurality of two-dimensional plane regions made up of a second dimension and a third dimension in the three-dimensional spatial region in units of unit coordinates of the first dimension in the three-dimensional spatial region. And then, traversing and calculating the contrast function of all preset three-dimensional coordinate points corresponding to each two-dimensional plane area in the plurality of two-dimensional plane areas. The first dimension, the second dimension and the third dimension are any one of the preset arrangement sets, and the preset arrangement sets are all arrangements formed by frequencies, transmitting positions and receiving positions.
Specifically, in the case where the first dimension is frequency, the unit coordinate may be a first preset proportion of a difference between an upper limit value and a lower limit value in a preset frequency interval, for example, parts per million. In the case where the first dimension is the transmission position, the unit coordinate may be a second preset ratio of a difference between an upper limit value and a lower limit value in the preset transmission position interval. In the case where the first dimension is the receiving position, the unit coordinate may be a third preset proportion of a difference between an upper limit value and a lower limit value in a preset receiving position interval.
The first preset proportion, the second preset proportion and the third preset proportion may be the same proportion or different proportions, and are not limited herein.
And S330, summing the contrast functions of all the preset three-dimensional coordinate points to obtain a target contrast function of the target to be imaged.
And step S340, generating an image of the target to be imaged according to the target contrast function.
In some embodiments, since the imaging result is generally displayed as a two-dimensional image, after the target contrast function is obtained, the target contrast function may be subjected to two-dimensional projection to generate an image of the target to be imaged.
Specifically, maximum value projection may be performed along a direction perpendicular to a plane in which the transmitting antenna and the receiving antenna are located, that is, a z direction, and thus, a two-dimensional image result, that is, an imaging result of an object to be imaged may be obtained.
In the embodiment of the invention, after the echo signal of the target to be imaged is received, the contrast function of all the preset three-dimensional coordinate points of the echo signal in the preset three-dimensional space region can be calculated in a traversing manner; then, summing the contrast functions of all the preset three-dimensional coordinate points to obtain a target contrast function of the target to be imaged; finally, an image of the target to be imaged may be generated according to the target contrast function.
