Description

Method and system for distinguishing targets of birds and rotor unmanned aerial vehicle under low signal-to-noise ratio condition
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of unmanned aerial vehicle information identification, and particularly relates to a method and a system for identifying targets of birds and rotor unmanned aerial vehicles under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio.
Background
With the rapid development of the unmanned aerial vehicle industry, the potential threat of unmanned aerial vehicles is also increasing. Meanwhile, with the continuous increase of the flight volume and the continuous improvement of the ecological environment, the bird strike prevention working pressure of the airport is increased. The airport takes different countermeasures after different invasion targets such as birds, rotor unmanned aerial vehicle are found, so that the identification of the birds and the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle targets has important significance for improving the monitoring level of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle and the bird targets and guaranteeing the safety of civil aviation flight.
Due to the fact that radars have all-weather all-day-time working capacity, classification and identification of rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicles and bird targets by using radars are increasingly paid attention to. Radar target micro-doppler features describe the motion characteristics of targets with rotation, vibration, etc., such as unmanned aerial vehicle blade rotation, wing flapping, and human hand or leg swing, etc., that have been widely used for classification and identification of targets. However, the technical defects of the prior art are that: unmanned aerial vehicle and bird often receive the influence of noise in actual flight environment, and its corresponding radar echo is weaker relatively, and then makes bird and unmanned aerial vehicle target discrimination performance reduce. The identification of rotorcraft and avian targets at low signal-to-noise ratios has become a research hotspot in radar target classification and detection.
The prior art has developed related research efforts in the identification of rotorcraft and avian targets. The method mainly comprises a distinguishing method based on feature extraction and a distinguishing method combining the feature extraction with machine learning. Features extracted in the bird and unmanned aerial vehicle target distinguishing method based on feature extraction comprise radar echo spectrum symmetrical pairs, motion model conversion frequency, a first left singular vector corresponding to singular value decomposition (Singular Value Decomposition, SVD) and a rhythm velocity spectrogram (Cadence Velocity Diagram, CVD), target speed, spectrum period and spectrum width, average value of singular values, variance of singular values and the like. The distinguishing method combining feature extraction and machine learning comprises the steps of combining feature vectors formed by the first two large feature values corresponding to SVD, combining a support vector machine (Support Vector Machine, SVM) to achieve target classification, combining a Micro Doppler bandwidth with a K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier to achieve target distinguishing, utilizing a combined Doppler image obtained by Micro-Doppler Signatures (MDS) and a rhythm speed map to conduct target distinguishing, analyzing Doppler information of a target in a time domain and a frequency domain, combining a convolutional neural network (Convolutional Neural Network, CNN) to achieve target distinguishing and the like.
The bird and unmanned aerial vehicle target identification method does not consider the influence of actual environmental noise. The unmanned aerial vehicle automatic identification classification system based on the frequency modulation continuous wave radar (Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave, FMCW) is designed in the prior art, radar echoes of unmanned aerial vehicles, birds, people, vehicles and the like are decomposed and reconstructed by using empirical mode decomposition (Empirical Mode Decomposition, EMD), so that the radar echo noise reduction is realized, characteristics such as signal energy, logarithmic energy entropy, spectral energy density, signal energy ratio and the like are extracted, unmanned aerial vehicle, birds, pedestrians and vehicles are classified through the SVM, and the problem of modal aliasing and end effect existing in the EMD possibly causes the reduction of distinguishing performance. In the prior art, a matching tracking method is utilized to reconstruct the seismic signals, useful information is extracted, the purpose of noise reduction is achieved, and the method is complex in calculation and large in calculation amount. In the prior art, the speed normalization is carried out on echo signals of tracked vehicles and wheeled vehicle targets, then the signals are decomposed by utilizing wavelet transformation, so that the noise reduction treatment of the signals is realized, the characteristics of signal energy, energy ratio, peak amplitude ratio and the like are extracted, the classification of the wheeled vehicles and the tracked vehicles is realized by utilizing SVM, and the wavelet transformation self-adaptability is lower.
In the prior art, in the 7 th period of volume 36, pages 33-43 and 7 month 2022 of the journal of electronic measurement and instrumentation, a method for distinguishing a target of a bird from a rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is disclosed, aiming at the problem of reduced distinguishing performance of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle with stronger maneuverability in the method for distinguishing the target of the bird from the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle based on the motion characteristics, considering that the frequency spectrum of a bird target in the process of vibrating wing echo is more complex relative to the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle, the two micro-motion characteristics are symmetrically distinguished by the energy entropy and the peak value of the characteristic spectrum corresponding to the frequency spectrum when the target echo is constructed, and the extracted motion characteristics and micro-motion characteristics are fused by using K-means, so that the target of the bird from the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is distinguished.
Through the above analysis, the problems and defects existing in the prior art are as follows: in the prior art, the influence of low signal-to-noise ratio on the distinguishing performance is not considered, the signal-to-noise ratio of the corresponding radar echo is low due to the influence of noise on the radar echo in the actual observation environment, and the accuracy of distinguishing the target is reduced due to the fact that the radar echo signal is seriously influenced by the noise in the target distinguishing method under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio.

To further demonstrate the positive effects of the above embodiments, the present invention was based on the above technical solutions to perform the following experiments.
Fig. 12 is a motion feature recognition result in a simulation data noise reduction front bird and rotor unmanned aerial vehicle recognition result, fig. 13 is a jog feature recognition result in a simulation data noise reduction front bird and rotor unmanned aerial vehicle recognition result, and fig. 14 is a feature fusion recognition result in a simulation data noise reduction front bird and rotor unmanned aerial vehicle recognition result.
Fig. 15 is a motion feature recognition result in a recognition result of the bird and the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle after the simulation data BPD is noise reduced, fig. 16 is a micro motion feature recognition result in a recognition result of the bird and the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle after the simulation data BPD is noise reduced, and fig. 17 is a feature fusion recognition result in a recognition result of the bird and the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle after the simulation data BPD is noise reduced. The motion states of the rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicle and the bird target in the simulation data are uniform acceleration motion combined with uniform motion, the motion model conversion frequency is extracted aiming at the simulation data, fusion processing is carried out on two features of the feature spectrum energy entropy value, and the identification of the bird and the rotary wing unmanned aerial vehicle, which are fused with each other, is realized through K-means.
As can be seen from fig. 15 to fig. 17, when the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is in a variable speed motion state, the conversion frequency of the motion model of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is between 0.04 and 0.06 close to that of the bird target, and the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle cannot distinguish the bird target from the bird target. For jog features, the presence of individual sample rotor drones and birds in this case have similar spectral energy entropy, which may lead to discrimination inaccuracies. After the noise reduction process, the difference between the motion characteristics is not large, since the extracted motion model conversion frequency is related to the motion state of the target. The identification effect of the micro-motion features is obviously improved, and the identification performance of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle and the bird targets is improved after the fusion treatment of the motion features and the micro-motion features.
As can be seen from fig. 18 to fig. 23, in the actual measurement data, the motion state of the bird target is variable deceleration, variable acceleration, and uniform motion, and the motion state of the rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle is uniform acceleration, uniform velocity, and uniform deceleration motion. And carrying out feature fusion on the two features of the motion model conversion frequency extracted from the measured data and the feature spectrum energy entropy value, and distinguishing the bird and the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle with the motion features and the inching features fused through K-means.
As can be seen from fig. 21-23, the flight state of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is maneuvering, the obtained transformation frequency of the movement model is similar to that of the bird target and is between 0.02 and 0.04, and the identification of the two targets cannot be realized by virtue of the movement characteristics. For inching characteristics, samples exist, the characteristic spectrum energy entropy of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is similar to that of the bird, and individual conditions can be inaccurately judged. After noise reduction, the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle and the birds are in a maneuvering state, the influence on the motion characteristics is small after noise reduction, the micro-motion characteristics are obviously improved greatly, but the characteristic spectrum energy entropy of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle and the characteristic spectrum energy entropy of the birds are similar in a certain sample, and misjudgment is possible. The distinguishing result after the feature fusion can be seen that the distinguishing effect of the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle and the bird target is better after the BPD is used for reducing noise.
As can be seen from fig. 24 to fig. 26, after noise reduction of the BPD, the discrimination accuracy using the motion feature, using the jog feature, and fusing the motion and jog features is improved relative to the case of no noise reduction, and the discrimination accuracy of the three methods shows an ascending state with the improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio. The unmanned aerial vehicle is in the non-uniform condition, because unmanned aerial vehicle's motion model conversion frequency is close with the bird, utilizes the bird of motion characteristic and rotor unmanned aerial vehicle to distinguish the rate of accuracy when reaching about 60% this moment the biggest. After feature fusion, the identification accuracy of the bird and the rotor unmanned aerial vehicle is higher than that of the unmanned aerial vehicle which considers the motion and the inching features independently. The problem of identification of birds and rotor unmanned aerial vehicle in the actual measurement environment is solved.
