Description

Multichannel SAR image false target rapid screening and removing method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radar signal processing, and particularly relates to a method for quickly screening and eliminating false targets of a multi-channel SAR image.
Background
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an active microwave remote sensing device with all-weather and all-time earth observation capability. With the increasing application range of the SAR in the military and civil fields, the requirements of each field on the mapping bandwidth and the resolution of the SAR are higher and higher. The azimuth multi-channel technology well solves the contradiction between the resolution ratio and the swath width of the traditional SAR, realizes high-resolution wide swath imaging, and becomes an important technical means for realizing high-resolution wide swath imaging of the next generation of satellite-borne SAR. However, in an actual system, amplitude and phase errors among channels are caused by factors such as amplitude and phase inconsistency of multiple receiving channels of a radar system, instability of satellite postures and rapid movement of a ship, and therefore false targets are introduced.
The presence of SAR multi-channel false targets presents a significant challenge to SAR ship detection. These false objects are highly bright relative to the sea surface and can be falsely detected when low scattering regions such as the sea surface occur, causing false alarms. Although the multi-channel false target has a certain attenuation in brightness compared with the corresponding real target, the multi-channel false target has no clear bright-dark relation with other non-corresponding real targets, and therefore cannot be identified according to absolute brightness. More seriously, in the SAR imaging process, the movement of the ship causes the change of Doppler parameters, and further causes the mismatch of matching filtering in the azimuth direction, so that the ship target generates defocusing phenomena of different degrees in the SAR image. How to distinguish false targets caused by multiple channels from real defocused targets in a full-aperture image has great significance for reducing the false alarm rate in SAR ship detection. However, only a few scholars have made corresponding research on the aspect at present, and marlin and the like propose a SAR multi-channel false target identification method based on sub-aperture and full-aperture feature learning aiming at the problem, wherein the full-aperture feature is extracted by utilizing a deep convolutional neural network, the sub-aperture decomposition is carried out on a complex SAR image, the sub-aperture feature is extracted by utilizing a stacked convolutional self-coding network, and the real target and the multi-channel false target are distinguished through identification information contained in the sub-aperture feature. However, the method utilizes two deep convolution networks to extract features, has large calculation amount, and is difficult to realize particularly under the condition of limited resources such as satellite borne and the like.

The invention provides a method for quickly screening and eliminating false targets of a multi-channel SAR image based on position information, which comprises the following steps:
the method comprises the following steps: acquiring a multi-channel SAR image, imaging related parameters and a detection result, wherein a target to be detected is positioned at the upper left corner and the lower right corner of four-world coordinates in the multi-channel SAR image as shown in figure 1.
Step two: calculating the distance between the false target and the real target; sequencing all targets detected in the SAR image according to the azimuth direction, and calculating the distance interval between two adjacent targets; grouping targets based on the distance, the distance interval, and a fault tolerance threshold.
The basis of grouping in this step is: according to the imaging characteristics of the multi-channel false target, the false targets are distributed at equal intervals on two sides of the real target, and as shown in fig. 2, if the target-target interval meets the fault-tolerant threshold range, the false targets are grouped into one group.
When the step is implemented, the target is separated from the target by n 1 Can be expressed as:

(2) Selecting a first target as a first group, and calculating a distance interval between the first target and an adjacent second target, assuming that coordinates of center points of the first and second targets are (x) 1 ,y 1 ) And (x) 2 ,y 2 ) Then its distance interval is:
Figure BDA0003662158190000052
if the following conditions are met:
|d-n 1 |≤l
and if the detection result does not meet the fault-tolerant threshold value, another group is formed.
(3) And repeating the steps, calculating the distance interval between each next target and the last target of each group, judging the conditions, if the fault-tolerant threshold is met, merging the targets into the corresponding group, and if the fault-tolerant threshold is not met, starting another group until all the targets are grouped.
(4) The target group with only one target is removed because when there is only one target in the group, it means that the target is a real target.
Step three: carrying out uniformity judgment on the attributes of the same group of targets, and removing targets without the same attribute;
because a plurality of real targets exist in the image, in order to avoid grouping errors caused by over-dense targets, the direction, size and other attributes of the targets are calculated for each group of targets respectively, the identity is judged, and the target coordinates which do not meet the identity are removed from the groups, so that the false targets are further grouped according to the identity.
The specific process of the step is as follows:
(1) and cutting out 200 × 200 or 400 × 400 slices by taking the coordinates of the target center point as the center according to the detection result information, wherein the size of the slice is determined according to the image resolution.
(2) And carrying out Otsu threshold segmentation on the slice containing the target to obtain a segmented binary image.

(4) And D, judging the identity of the same group of target attributes in the step two, and removing the targets which do not belong to the same attribute from grouping.
(5) The target group with only one target is removed because there is only one target in the group, meaning that the target is a real target.
Step four: and performing false target elimination on each group of targets based on the scattering characteristics of the targets.
In the step, each group of targets obtained in the step three is considered to comprise a real target and a plurality of false targets in the same group, and the false targets are judged according to the brightness and scattering characteristic difference between the false targets and the real targets of the same target.
