Description

Airborne inverse synthetic aperture radar ship target focusing method and system based on long coherent processing interval, storage medium and electronic equipment
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of signal processing, in particular to a method and a system for focusing an airborne inverse synthetic aperture radar ship target based on a long coherent processing interval, a storage medium and electronic equipment.
Background
An Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is a Radar imaging system for obtaining high-resolution moving target images, and obtains high-resolution images through relative rotation of a Radar and a target. Meanwhile, imaging, detection and identification of marine ship targets have great significance in the national defense and civil fields, so that imaging of marine ship targets becomes one of main research directions of ISAR imaging.
In actual ocean observation, the relative motion of the radar platform and the ship target seriously affects the quality of ISAR imaging. Therefore, accurate Motion Compensation (MOCO) is required to eliminate the relative translational Motion between them, making the echoes a classical turntable model. Generally, ISAR imaging systems for observing ship targets are installed on an airplane or on land. For the aircraft platform, in addition to the above-mentioned relative motion between the aircraft platform and the ship target, the phenomenon of trajectory deviation of the aircraft platform becomes serious with the increase of Coherent Processing Interval (CPI). Severe trajectory deviation causes more severe motion errors, and even if a robust MOCO algorithm is used, residual distance Migration (RCM) still occurs. For ship targets, there are 6 degrees of freedom of motion at sea, including roll, pitch, and yaw, referred to as rotational motion, and surge, sway, and heave, referred to as translational motion. The rotation motion causes the effective rotation vector of the ship target and the image projection plane to change constantly, and the image quality is influenced. It is noted that the translational motion also has a large impact on the picture quality under a long CPI, which is often ignored in previous motion models. Chinese patent application publication No. CN113589284A discloses an imaging method of an inverse synthetic aperture radar on a ship target, by which a high-resolution ship target image can be obtained, but the method focuses on optimal imaging time selection and ignores the influence of a motion model on imaging, and does not consider the influence of residual range migration, and the phase error is amplified in a long CPI, so that the finally obtained ship target image is not accurate enough.
Therefore, in order to obtain a high-quality ship target image, it is important to design a more accurate motion model under the condition of a long CPI and adopt a more effective method to compensate residual RCM, so as to focus the ship target image more finely.

Detailed Description
As shown in fig. 1, the method for finely focusing an airborne inverse synthetic aperture radar ship target based on a long coherent processing interval comprises the following steps:
s101, modeling a motion track of an airborne radar, and including the track deviation of a radar platform;
specifically, according to the geometric information provided by the motion sensor in the inertial measurement unit, the approximate flight path of the aircraft can be known, and the trajectory deviation of the radar platform can be calculated by a sine function, so that the trajectory deviation can be expressed as:
δr=a(r)sin(ξx′) (1)
ξ=4π/λ (2)
where δ r is the trajectory offset; a (r) is the sinusoidal deviation amplitude in the skew plane; λ is the wavelength, x 'is the sensor position, and ξ is the coefficient of x'.
Generally, ISAR imaging systems for observing ship targets are installed on an airplane or on land. For an aircraft platform, besides that the relative motion between the aircraft platform and a ship target can cause the image to generate directional defocusing, along with the increase of the CPI, the track deviation phenomenon can also cause the image quality to be degraded, the motion track of the aircraft cannot be simply approximated to ideal linear motion, and the track deviation phenomenon needs to be considered. Therefore, the trajectory deviation is added into the motion model, a more accurate model basis can be provided for a subsequent algorithm, and the imaging resolution is effectively improved.
S102, modeling a ship target motion track, and including six-degree-of-freedom motion of a ship;
specifically, according to the hydrodynamic theory of ships, as an ideal rigid target, the displacement caused by three degrees of freedom included in the translational motion of ships can be expressed as:

The amplitude, angular frequency and initial phase constituting the ith surging, swaying and heaving, respectively; n is a radical of x 、N y 、N z Representing the number of surge, sway and heave related frequency components;
the angle caused by the three degrees of freedom involved in the vessel's rotational motion can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0003870508960000073
wherein, theta x 、θ y 、θ z Respectively representing rotation angles of rolling, pitching and yawing of the ship; b x,i 、B y,i 、B z,i ,Ω x,i 、Ω y,i 、Ω z,i ,ψ x,i 、ψ y,i 、ψ z,i The amplitude, angular frequency and initial phase that make up the ith roll, pitch and yaw, respectively; m is a group of x 、M y 、M z Representing the number of roll, pitch and yaw related frequency components.
Due to the fact that the effective rotation vector and the image projection plane of the ship target are constantly changed due to the rotation motion, the image quality is affected. While translational motion also has a large impact on picture quality under a long CPI, which is often ignored in previous motion models. Therefore, in order to obtain a high-quality ship target image, it is important to include the six-degree-of-freedom motion of the ship in the motion model in the case of a long CPI.

firstly, distance fast Fourier transform is carried out on radar original echo data, then distance direction matched filtering is carried out in a distance frequency domain, and finally, distance compression is completed by utilizing inverse distance fast Fourier transform.

specifically, the method comprises the following steps: modeling the translational component as a third order polynomial with an instantaneous slope distance R 0 It can be approximated that the third order taylor formula expands at the central instant t =0, i.e.:
Figure BDA0003870508960000081
wherein α represents the zero-order coefficient in the taylor polynomial, β and γ represent the radial velocity and acceleration of the target, respectively, t represents the azimuthal time, and δ is the numerator of the cubic coefficient in the taylor polynomial. Wherein the coefficient alpha is represented in the image as a target offset, without affecting the focus quality, and therefore the focus problem of the image can be converted into an estimate of the three coefficients.
Then, utilizing Radon transformation to carry out initial value estimation on polynomial coefficients, wherein the Radon transformation is mainly used for detecting straight lines or line segments in the image, the technology can obtain rough estimation of the coefficient beta, and particularly, the rough estimation is carried out on the image S after distance compression R And (3) carrying out Radon transformation to obtain an included angle between the trajectory of the scattering body and the abscissa axis, wherein the formula is as follows:
Figure BDA0003870508960000082
Figure BDA0003870508960000083
wherein phi is the included angle between the trajectory of the scattering body and the abscissa axis,

is the maximum value of the angle between the trajectory of the scatterer and the axis of abscissa, max φ Is the maximum value of the angle between the trajectory of the scatterer and the axis of abscissa, S R And beta is an estimation coefficient, wherein beta is an amplitude matrix of each pixel point of the image acquired by the radar.
And finally, using the image contrast as an objective function, and iteratively searching and finely estimating coefficients of the polynomial through maximization of the image contrast. The image contrast is a very accurate indicator for the quality of the image focus, with sufficient confidence as an evaluation of the degree of image focus, defined as:
Figure BDA0003870508960000091
wherein A (-) represents the image spatial average over coordinates (x, y); i represents image intensity and IC represents image contrast.
S105, further compensating the residual range migration by using a dual-waveband-based phase gradient self-focusing algorithm;
specifically, the method comprises the following steps: dividing two sub-band images by taking offset frequency as a center, paying attention to the fact that the two sub-bands need to have some overlap, otherwise the two sub-band images become completely irrelevant, and experiments show that the overlap ratio epsilon is larger than the maximum value overlap =0.7 is effective, and the number of distance units of a subband is obtained from the overlap ratio, and the calculation formula is:

wherein M is the number of distance units; m is a group of sub The number of distance units for a subband; e is the same as overlap Is the overlap ratio. Then, phase errors of the upper sub-band image and the lower sub-band image, which are estimated by a phase gradient self-focusing algorithm, are respectively used for the upper sub-band image and the lower sub-band image, and accurate residual distance migration is calculated by using the estimated phase errors, wherein a residual distance migration amount calculation formula is as follows:
