Description

Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of electronic detection, in particular to a real-time detection method for an airborne synthetic aperture radar sea surface ship.
Background
The sea surface ship target is a key target for marine monitoring, and ship detection has important significance for marine traffic, fishery monitoring and national defense safety. Compared with the application of the satellite-borne SAR, the airborne SAR has wide application prospect in daily sea area patrol and emergency monitoring for dealing with sudden events due to the characteristics of strong data timeliness, flexible operation, high resolution and the like.
However, the development of the current airborne SAR real-time detection technology in the field of marine applications is still relatively delayed due to the following reasons: 1) The SAR system and the image interpretation technology thereof have strong specialization; 2) The software and hardware conditions of an aircraft platform, a radar system, a measurement and control system, even an operation airspace and the like required by the development of airborne SAR data acquisition and real-time application are difficult to guarantee. Therefore, the current SAR-based target detection application of sea vessels still focuses on target detection for the conventional SAR image afterwards, i.e., relevant detection work is carried out by utilizing an onboard or satellite-borne SAR image.
The ship information obtained by adopting a non-real-time after-event detection method is often lack of timeliness, can only be used for marine ship information statistics and analysis application, is difficult to be used for real-time monitoring of marine ships or guiding field enforcement, and does not have the advantage of full-time and all-weather monitoring of SAR. In addition, a moving target detection mode based on an airborne SAR image or an airborne MMTI mode cannot simultaneously consider the targets of a static ship and a moving ship, a large number of targets can be omitted in a detection result, the traditional airborne SAR image has relatively narrow swath and limited sea area coverage capacity, detection based on the traditional SAR image is difficult to support large-range and wide-area target detection and search, and the defects limit popularization and application of the SAR technology.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is described in further detail below with reference to specific embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
It should be noted that in the drawings or description, the same drawing reference numerals are used for similar or identical parts.

Additionally, although examples may be provided herein of parameters including particular values, it should be appreciated that the parameters need not be exactly equal to the respective values, but may approximate the respective values within acceptable error margins or design constraints.
Unless a technical obstacle or contradiction exists, the above-described various embodiments of the present invention may be freely combined to form further embodiments, which are within the scope of the present invention.
Although the present invention has been described in connection with the accompanying drawings, the embodiments disclosed in the drawings are intended to be illustrative of preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention. The dimensional proportions in the figures are merely schematic and are not to be understood as limiting the invention.
Although a few embodiments of the present general inventive concept have been shown and described, it would be appreciated by those skilled in the art that changes may be made in these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the general inventive concept, the scope of which is defined in the claims and their equivalents.
Fig. 1 schematically shows an application scenario of the method for detecting a sea vessel by using an airborne synthetic aperture radar according to an embodiment of the present invention in real time. It should be noted that fig. 1 is only an example of an application scenario in which the embodiment of the present invention may be applied to help those skilled in the art understand the technical content of the present invention, and does not mean that the embodiment of the present invention may not be applied to other devices, systems, environments or scenarios.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, the method for real-time detection of sea-surface vessels by an airborne synthetic aperture radar according to an embodiment of the present invention may be used for real-time detection of sea-surface vessel targets of an airborne SAR system, for example, where the DBS image 100 includes 4 targets, which are the first moving vessel 110, the second moving vessel 120, and the first stationary vessel 130 and the second stationary vessel 140, respectively. The vessels may or may not be the same or similar in size, and the DBS image may be, for example, an 8bit grayscale image. The invention can ensure the real-time processing of each target data in the image by taking the airborne SAR Doppler Beam Sharpening (DBS) image as the detection input so as to achieve the real-time monitoring of various targets on the sea surface.
It can be understood that the detection method of the present invention is not limited to detecting sea targets, and when the method is applied to real-time detection of land targets or airspace targets, the airborne SAR sea DBS image in the solution of the present invention may be replaced by land DBS images or airspace DBS images. When the method is applied to the detection of the non-real-time SAR sea vessel target, the airborne SAR sea area DBS image in the scheme of the invention can be replaced by the traditional SAR image.
In order to realize the real-time monitoring of various targets on the sea surface, the invention designs an airborne synthetic aperture radar sea surface ship real-time detection method shown in fig. 2.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the method for real-time detection of a sea-surface vessel by an airborne synthetic aperture radar includes:
s210, respectively taking each line of pixel points of the DBS image containing the target as a center, and constructing a bar block diagram.
S220, setting a detection window, taking the pixel point as the center, and obtaining a detection window image through a detection window detection bar block image.
S230, respectively calculating the pixel gray distribution characteristics of the DBS image, the detection window image and the bar block image, calculating a target detection threshold value of the image line of the current detected pixel point according to the pixel gray distribution characteristic values of the bar block image corresponding to the DBS image and the image line of the current detected pixel point, adaptively setting the target detection threshold value according to the DBS image and the current bar block image, and detecting the target pixel point according to the pixel gray distribution characteristic value of the detection window image and the target detection threshold value of the current image line.
S240, searching the target pixel point to obtain a target contour range.
Fig. 3 schematically shows a target sliding window detection scheme according to an embodiment of the invention.
According to the embodiment of the invention, the pixel gray distribution characteristics of the DBS image can be represented by processing the global variance weighting information entropy of the generated and input single sea area DBS image in real time through an onboard SAR system, and the scale sizes of a target detection window and a bar graph of a ship are adaptively set according to the calculated global variance weighting information entropy. As shown in fig. 3, for example, the width and height of the DBS image containing the target vessel are W and H, respectively, and the target detection window and the height of the bar graph may be set to be the same. The detection window scale and the size of the bar graph may be calculated according to steps S410 to S420 in fig. 4.
And S410, statistically calculating the global variance weighting information entropy of the whole DBS image by using formulas (1) to (3) according to the DBS image input in real time and the width and height information thereof.

Wherein E is the global variance weighting information entropy of the DBS image, s is the gray level of the image, and the range of the value range of s is, for example, 0 ≦ s ≦ 255;

is the mean value of the gray levels of the entire image, s i Is the gray level of the ith pixel in the figure, and N is the total pixel number of the image, and the value size is W multiplied by H shown in figure 3; p s As the probability of the s-th gray level appearing in the entire image, N s Is the number of pixels in the image at that level of gray scale.
S420, based on the calculated global variance weighting information entropy E, the dimension (unit: pixel) of the detection window of the image is set according to the formula (4) in a self-adaptive mode.
Figure GDA0004051044480000073
The detection window is, for example, a square detection window, R is a side length of the square detection window, and E is a global variance weighting information entropy of the DBS image. The side length of the square detection window may be, for example, 5 pixel units when the global variance weighting information entropy is, for example, less than 5000, and may be, for example, 9 pixel units when the global variance weighting information entropy is, for example, greater than or equal to 5000 and, at the same time, less than or equal to 10000, and may be, for example, 13 pixel units when the global variance weighting information entropy is, for example, greater than 10000.
It can be understood that, in the detection method according to the embodiment of the present invention, since the tile map is created with each row of pixel points as a center, and for example, the target detection window is set to have the same height as the tile map, and the upper and lower rows of pixel points of each row need to be detected, the scale of the target detection window may be set to be an odd number of pixel units, where the scale of the target detection window is positively correlated with the value of the global variance weighting information entropy of the DBS image. The values in equation (4) are merely examples and do not limit the present invention to use other values of pixel units and global variance weighting information entropy values for DBS images. When the first line or the last line of pixel points is taken as the center, because no other pixel points are arranged above or below the line of pixel points, and when a similar DBS image is detected with a bar block diagram with the upper and lower boundaries less than R/2, namely, the upper part (upper boundary) or the lower part (lower boundary) of the image center line can be used for the condition that the number of image lines is insufficient for statistics, the statistical calculation can be carried out according to the actual number of lines.
Fig. 5 schematically shows a flowchart of a method for acquiring a target pixel point according to an embodiment of the present invention.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, for example, the gray scale distribution characteristics of the pixels of the detection window and the bar graph may be compared through steps S510 to S520, so as to obtain the target pixel point. For example, the local variance weighting information entropy of a bar graph having a set sliding window size as high and a set width as wide as a sliding window size is calculated on a DBS image line by line, and a target detection threshold corresponding to each image line is adaptively set based on the calculated value.
Specifically, in step S510, according to formulas (1) to (3), the local variance weighting information entropy E of the bar block graph with the current image line l as the center line, the detection window dimension R as the height, and the width W of the DBS image as the width is calculated line by line from top to bottom in the DBS graph l . Wherein l is the number of image line, l is more than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to H.
S520, weighting information entropy E based on local variance of each block image obtained by calculation l The detection threshold Th corresponding to the image line l is adaptively calculated according to the formula (5) and the formula (6) l
Th l =k×E l (5)
k=1000/E+1.0 (6)
Wherein Th l For detecting the threshold, k is a weight coefficient, E is a global variance weighting information entropy of the DBS image, and E is l The information entropy is weighted for the variance of the patch map.
It can be understood that for higher processing speed requirements, the block map local variance weighting information entropy used for adaptively calculating the image line detection threshold in the scheme of the present invention can be replaced by the image global variance weighting information entropy. This replacement can omit the process of calculating the local variance weighting information entropy of the slice block image line by line, greatly shorten the image processing time, but also reduce the detection performance.
Fig. 6 schematically shows a flowchart of a target contour range acquisition method according to an embodiment of the present invention.
According to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 6, for example, the target pixel point may be searched through steps S610 to S620 to obtain the target contour range. For example, on the DBS image, a line-by-line pixel-by-pixel sliding scanning detection method is adopted, a set detection window is slid, the local variance weighted information entropy of the image in the sliding window with each pixel as the center is calculated, and compared with the threshold of the line where the local variance weighted information entropy is located, if the local variance weighted information entropy is larger than the threshold, the target is determined, otherwise, the target is a clutter, the whole image processing is completed, and a target detection binary image is formed.
Specifically, S610 uses a square detection window with adaptively set R as a side length, performs sliding processing on a DBS image as shown in fig. 3 through a sliding window with pixel by pixel and line by line detection order from left to right and top to bottom, and calculates, for each pixel, a local variance weighting information entropy E of a DBS image block covered by the detection window with a current pixel as a center according to formulas (1) to (3) i
It can be understood that, when the sliding window is used for the local variance weighting information entropy calculation in the solution of the present invention, the sliding manner is not limited to sliding horizontally row by row and pixel by pixel in an image row manner, and may also be replaced by vertical, for example, in an image column manner.
S620, comparing the local variance weighting information entropy E i And a detection threshold Th l Size of (E) i Greater than Th l The pixel point of (2) is a target pixel point, for example, the pixel value is set to 255 (white), E i Less than or equal to Th l The pixel of (2) is a clutter background pixel, for example, the pixel value is set to 0 (black). After the comparison of the pixel points of the whole DBS image is completed, a frame based on the DBS image can be obtainedAnd (4) carrying out variance weighted information entropy on the ship target detection binary image.
According to the embodiment of the invention, based on the target detection binary image, for example, a method of expanding search based on the target point (with a pixel value of 255) can be adopted to determine the scale range of each ship target in the image. For example, a line-by-line and point-by-point searching method may be adopted on the target detection binary image to sequentially search for white target points in the image. And aiming at the searched target point, taking the current target point as the center, taking a rectangle formed by 8 adjacent pixel points surrounding the point as an expansion basis, respectively expanding four sides by a pixel distance in four directions of up, down, left and right, detecting whether the four sides of the new rectangle contain a new white target point after expansion, continuing to expand the sides of the rectangle containing the new target point outwards, and stopping expansion until the four sides are expanded. The rectangle formed by the method is the minimum external rectangle of the target, and the pixel point coordinates of the upper left corner and the lower right corner of the rectangle are recorded. And searching and expanding all target pixel points, and obtaining the contour range of all targets.
It can be understood that, when the target point is searched and expanded by adopting a line-by-line and point-by-point searching method in the embodiment of the present invention, the target area which has been expanded is removed in the subsequent search, so as to avoid repeated processing.
According to the embodiment of the invention, after the external rectangles of the targets are obtained, the external rectangles of the preset ship can be subjected to scale-based false alarm filtering within a preset scale range of the target, the targets which are obviously inconsistent in scale are removed, and the pixel point coordinates of the external rectangles at the upper left point and the lower right point in the DBS image are sequentially output aiming at the reserved targets, so that the final target contour range is obtained. Filtering out the target which is not in scale conformity based on a preset ship target scale range, wherein the preset ship target scale range can be a ship target scale range which is expected to be detected, and comprises a minimum scale and a maximum scale. In practical applications, the target dimension can be converted to an image pixel dimension according to the resolution of the DBS image.

and S710, calculating the global variance weighting information entropy of the sea area DBS image generated by the airborne SAR system in real time, and adaptively setting the dimension of the target detection window of the square ship according to the calculated value.
S720, calculating the local variance weighted information entropy of the bar block graph with the current image line as the center, the set target detection window as the height and the DBS image width as the width line by line, and adaptively setting the target detection threshold of each image line based on the calculated value.
And S730, sliding on the DBS image by using a target detection window in a line-by-line and pixel-by-pixel sliding scanning detection mode, calculating the local variance weighting information entropy of the image in the sliding window with each pixel as the center, comparing the local variance weighting information entropy with the detection threshold of the image line where the pixel is located, judging the local variance weighting information entropy as a target when the local variance weighting information entropy is larger than the threshold, and judging the local variance weighting information entropy as a clutter if the local variance weighting information entropy is not larger than the threshold until the whole image is processed to form a detection binary image.
And S740, performing pixel-by-pixel target boundary definition processing on the detected binary image by adopting a target point external expansion searching boundary method, and recording target boundary pixel coordinates.
