Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of remote sensing image processing, in particular to a satellite-borne SAR sea clutter generation method.
Background
The ocean occupies most of the earth's area, and the concealment of the object to be detected in the ocean is far better than that of land and air. As an important means for sea surface target detection, the radar is widely applied because of the advantages of being free from environmental weather influence, being capable of working all weather and all day long, and the like. However, under real conditions radar performance for sea detection is limited by many noise interference signals, and one of the most typical noise is sea clutter. When the radar transmitter transmits a signal to scan the sea surface, the receiver receives a back scattering echo signal from the sea surface, namely sea clutter. The echo received by the radar not only comprises useful target echo, but also comprises sea clutter around the environment where the target is located, the sea clutter has very strong power and large fluctuation, the non-Gaussian and non-stationarity is obvious, and for weak targets, the echo energy of a single sea clutter is far greater than that of the target echo, and the sea clutter must be suppressed. The complex sea clutter environment reduces the observability of sea surface targets, increasing the difficulty of the radar system in sea exploration, which is often faced in real-world applications. Therefore, modeling the sea clutter has important significance for effectively eliminating interference and improving the accuracy of radar target detection.

Therefore, a new solution is needed to solve the above-mentioned problems.

The discriminator processes the image based on discriminating the network structure, specifically: the discriminator receives an input image, the image being a sea clutter dataset and an output image of the generator, representing a real image sample and a generated false image sample, respectively. The discriminators process the image and the convolution layer, transform module converts the input image into a series of feature maps for capturing local and global information of the image. For large-size images generated by the generator, the arbiter gradually reduces the size of the feature map through a convolution and pooling operation. The final goal of the arbiter is to output a probability value that indicates the probability that the generator generated image is a true image. The arbiter maps the feature map to a probability value through the full connection layer.
The generating method comprises the following steps:
1) And acquiring sea area meteorological data and sea clutter data under the meteorological conditions, wherein the sea clutter data are selected from SAR images. Wherein the sea area meteorological data is selected from ERA5 analysis data; the method comprises wind speed, wind direction, effective wave height of the surging waves, wave direction, wave period, relevant waves of the stormy waves, relevant waves of the mixed waves, temperature and sounding models. The SAR image is high-resolution SAR image data in recent years in the sea areas of China (Bohai sea, yellow sea, east sea and south sea), and the data sources are real-1A and high-resolution No. three. Nineteen ERA5 analysis data in the sea area (Bohai sea, yellow sea, east sea and south sea) of the middle-aged and twenty years are obtained, sea area meteorological data with different resolutions are matched based on an interpolation prediction module in a random forest model, space-time difference of the data is unified, and a sea area meteorological data unified format is completed.
2) And preprocessing SAR images, and matching the SAR images with sea area meteorological data to form a sea clutter data set and a sea area meteorological data set of the same sea area. The preprocessing process comprises image segmentation, denoising, filtering and standardization. Firstly, image segmentation is carried out, so that subsequent processing is facilitated. And secondly, denoising processing is carried out, and a complete scattered wave signal is reserved. A filtering operation is then performed to eliminate the uncertain noise and to increase the frequency domain resolution. And finally, carrying out standardization processing, and converting different dimensions of the hydrological parameters and the scattered wave signals into uniform specifications so as to match modeling requirements of the neural network.

The sea surface simulation model is established based on a linear superposition method by adopting a wind sea spectrum model and a surge spectrum model, and a real sea environment is input into a transfer function in a parameter form; the transfer function is a unilateral cosine direction distribution function.
Specifically, a sea surface simulation model is established based on a linear superposition method by adopting an elfouhaily wind sea spectrum model and a jonswap surge spectrum model, and a real sea environment is input into a transfer function in a parameter form (wind field data and wave data); the transfer function is a unilateral cosine direction distribution function. Through PM spectra of different wind elements and JONSWAP gravity spectra, elfouhaity tension spectra of different wind speeds and wind areas, and an elfouhaity spectrum unilateral cosine direction distribution function, linear geometric sea surface simulation modeling is completed.
4) Extracting features of the sea surface geometric image set and the sea clutter data set to form sea surface simulation data feature parameters and sea surface echo data feature parameters respectively, and taking the sea surface simulation data feature parameters and the sea surface echo data feature parameters as limiting conditions of a generator;
by providing the sea surface simulation data characteristic parameter and the sea surface echo data characteristic parameter as constraints to the generator, the properties of the generated image can be accurately controlled. The generator will try to generate images matching these characteristic parameters, ensuring that the generated SAR sea clutter images meet the actual conditions under specific meteorological conditions. The sea surface simulation data characteristic parameters comprise wind and wave data; the sea echo data characteristic parameters include amplitude characteristics, spectral characteristics and texture characteristics. The sea surface simulation data characteristic parameters and the sea surface echo data characteristic parameters are output in the form of a histogram, and the histogram is used for analyzing the reflection intensity, the frequency components and the texture structure of the sea surface, so that important reference information is provided for marine meteorological research and data analysis, and the characteristic distribution situation of sea surface SAR images can be better understood and visualized. Specifically, the amplitude characteristic histogram describes intensity distribution of sea surface reflection, and is used for correcting and denoising SAR images so as to reduce influence of clutter and noise on meteorological parameter estimation. The frequency spectrum characteristic histogram describes the distribution of frequency components reflected by the sea surface, and analyzes the frequency components and the energy distribution of waves on the sea surface, so that meteorological parameters such as wave height, wave length and the like are extracted. The texture feature histogram describes the texture structure of sea surface reflection and is used for identifying and classifying different sea surface phenomena and marine meteorological phenomena, such as sea waves, ripples, storm vortexes and the like. The function of the device is as follows: (1) enhancing the authenticity of the generated image: the introduction of the constraint can make the generated image more realistic and reasonable. The generator needs to generate an image according to the characteristic parameters of the sea surface simulation data and the characteristic parameters of the sea surface echo data, so that the generated image can better simulate the image in the real SAR sea clutter data set. (2) Enhancing the generation of specific attributes: the generated sea clutter image has specific meteorological attributes, such as specific stormy waves, and the fact that the generated image is matched with the attributes can be ensured by introducing sea surface simulation data characteristic parameters as limiting conditions. (3) Avoiding meaningless generation: the constraint may help the generator avoid generating meaningless images. If the generator is limited only to specific sea surface simulation data characteristic parameters and echo data characteristic parameters, it will generate meaningful images within a reasonable range without generating non-realistic images. (4) The consistency of the generation is improved: since the constraints provide additional information during the generation process, the generator is more capable of generating images consistent with these conditions. This may help the generated image better reflect the actual situation under specific weather conditions.
5) And establishing an LSGAN least squares loss function. The built LSGAN least square loss function is used for introducing a sea clutter simulation model. For generator G, its loss function generates a square difference between the generated sample and the real sample, i.e. minimizes the euclidean distance between the generated sample and the real sample. For the arbiter D, its loss function is the square difference between the real sample and the generated sample, which means that the arbiter tries to minimize the distance between the real sample and 1, and the distance between the generated sample and 0. The LSGAN least squares loss function has the following formulas for the generator and the arbiter, respectively:
wherein D is a discriminator;is a discriminator loss function; g is a generator; />Is a generator loss function; x is a sea clutter image; z is the input sea surface geometric image and adds a limiting condition; e is a desired value; />Is the probability distribution obeyed by the sea clutter image; />Is the probability distribution obeyed by z; />Representing the result of the generator on the input data z;representing the discrimination result of the discriminator on the sea clutter data set; />The more the output is close to 1, the greater the probability that the input is considered to be real data by the discriminator is; a is a constant, representing a mark of a real image; b is a constant representing a mark for generating an image; c is a value that the generator makes the arbiter consider the generated image as real data; a=c=1, b=0.
6) Establishing a sea clutter simulation model based on a multi-scale attention mechanism and a transducer module, and introducing the transducer module and a limiting condition into the generator; and introducing a transducer module into the discrimination network structure, and introducing the LSGAN least squares loss function into the sea clutter simulation model.
The generator processes images based on a network U-net structure and limiting conditions, the generator network U-net structure sequentially comprises a coding network, a conversion network and a decoding network, the conversion network comprises a residual error module, the coding network, the conversion network and the decoding network are a group of image processing paths, and sea surface geometric image sets output sea clutter images after passing through the image processing paths. In the generator, the transducer module comprises a fusion transducer jump connection module and a transducer cross-layer fusion module; the image processing paths are provided with a plurality of groups, and the adjacent two groups are added through a trans-former cross-layer fusion module to perform path fusion; each group of convolution kernels are different in size, each group comprises two branch paths, one branch path is formed by adding a fusion converter jump connection module into the conversion network, the other branch path is formed by not adding a fusion converter jump connection module into the conversion network, and the two branch paths are fused in the coding network and the decoding network. The generator and the arbiter of the optimized sea clutter simulation model are specifically described below.
Referring to fig. 1, in step 3), the coding network is formed by five convolution layers, and the output of the coding network is used as the input of the conversion network; the conversion network is a residual network, the output of the input after two convolution layers is added with the output to obtain the output of the residual network layer, the output is used as the input of the next residual network layer, and five residual network layers form the residual network. The decoding network at the end of the generator consists of four deconvolution layers and one 2D convolution layer, the last convolution layer outputting the generated sea clutter. The network structure is composed of "convolution (C) -instance regularization (IN) -ReLU activation function" units.
And introducing a fusion transformer jump connection module, and constructing jump connection on the current group of image processing paths. And splicing one characteristic diagram obtained in the encoding network stage with the current decoding network through two parallel circuits, and splicing the other characteristic diagram with the current decoding network after entering a trans-former cross-layer fusion module. The coding network uses four fusion transformation former jump connection modules for capturing shallow, low-level and fine characteristic images in a plurality of groups of coding networks and associated characteristic images captured by corresponding groups of transformation former modules and cross-layer fusion modules, and fusion of characteristic information with more scales and depth supervision are carried out, so that the performance and robustness of the model are further improved. And introducing a transform cross-layer fusion module into the previous group of the current group, downsampling the output of the transform cross-layer fusion module of the previous group to the same size of the output characteristic diagram of the current group of the transformers through convolution and pooling, adding the two, and splicing the two with a decoding network and a coding network corresponding to the current layer.
Referring to fig. 3, a discrimination network based on a multi-scale and attention mechanism is established, and a transducer module is added to the discriminator network to extract global features. Through feature methods such as multi-scale sensing, contextual information introduction, local feature learning, computational efficiency and the like, a more comprehensive, fine and efficient image discrimination capability is provided, making it advantageous in applications in an antagonism generation network. By introducing two discriminators with the same structure but different input and output sizes, the two discriminators are made to be a high-resolution discriminator 1D and a low-resolution discriminator 2D. Assessing the authenticity of the generated image from different angles and scales contributes to the stability of the resistance training. One of the discriminators focuses on the authenticity of the overall image, while the other discriminators focuses on the authenticity of the local detail. The method can capture the characteristics and details of different scales, so that the detection precision and capability of the discriminator on the generated image can be improved, and the authenticity of the image can be accurately judged. The design of the discrimination network incorporates a PatchGAN structure and sets Patch to 64. For the Patchgan arbiter network, for 256x256 images and 32x32 Patches, the partition is 8x8 Patches, for a total of 64 Patches. The use of the multi-scale judgment network can reduce network model parameters, optimize memory and remarkably promote model training under the condition of ensuring the size of the receptive field.
7) And inputting the sea clutter data set and the sea surface geometric image set into a sea clutter simulation model, outputting a sea clutter image after the sea surface geometric image set passes through a generator, judging the similarity of the sea clutter image and the sea clutter data set by a discriminator, performing iterative training for a plurality of times until an optimized model of the sea clutter simulation model is obtained, and outputting the sea clutter image corresponding to the optimized model.
In training, the arbiter receives input from the real image and the false image generated by the generator and outputs a probability value between 0 and 1 representing the probability that the input image is a real image. For a real image, the objective of the arbiter is to output a probability value close to 1, while for a generated image, the objective of the arbiter is to output a probability value close to 0. Meanwhile, the generation process of the generator is opposite to the output of the discriminator. The generator and the arbiter play games with each other, and the generator generates images and then evaluates the images through the arbiter. The goal of the generator is that the generated image can fool the arbiter so that it can be determined as a true image by the arbiter. The countering loss causes the discriminator to strive to bring the discrimination probability of the generated image close to 0, while the discrimination probability of the real image approaches 1. The generator will then strive to generate an image that can spoof the arbiter. Iterative training: the arbiter and the generator play games with each other, and iterative training is continuously performed. The generator tries to generate a realistic image, while the arbiter strives to improve the accuracy of distinguishing between the realistic and the generated image.
The optimization process comprises the following steps:
(1) firstly training the discriminators, and judging whether the two discriminator networks are real image data or the image subjected to style conversion, and optimizing the weight of the discriminator networks through countermeasures. The setting of the weights affects the classification decision boundary of the arbiter and thus its discrimination capability between the generated data and the real data. The weights of the discriminators are optimally updated by back propagation and optimization algorithms. Forward propagation: given a real data sample and a sample generated by the generator, the discriminator transmits the two samples to the forward propagation respectively, and calculates the corresponding discrimination score. The discrimination score represents the likelihood that the sample is discriminated as real data. Calculating loss: using the discrimination score and the corresponding tag (tag 1 for real data and tag 0 for generated data), the loss of the discriminator is calculated. Back propagation: and calculating the gradient of each parameter in the discriminator through a back propagation algorithm according to the loss value in the calculated loss. These gradients represent the rate of change of the loss function with respect to the parameter, i.e. the direction of adjustment of the parameter. Optimization algorithm: and updating the weight of the discriminator through a random gradient descent optimization algorithm according to the calculated gradient. The value of each parameter is updated according to the direction of the gradient and the learning rate to reduce the loss function.
(2) And training the generator, and optimizing the weight of the generator according to the characteristic matching loss and the countering loss. The generator weight optimization updating steps are as follows. Back propagation: gradients of the various parameters in the discriminators are calculated by a back propagation algorithm based on the generator loss function. How to adjust the weight of the generator can reduce the loss. Optimization algorithm: and updating the weight of the discriminator through a random gradient descent optimization algorithm according to the calculated gradient. The value of each parameter is updated according to the direction of the gradient and the learning rate to reduce the loss function. Iterative training: repeating the steps, and gradually adjusting the weight of the generator through repeated iterative training, so that the quality of the generated image is continuously improved. The effect of the generator weights continuously optimizing updates is as follows: the generator network parameters are adjusted to make the generated image more realistic, thereby spoofing the arbiter.
(3) And (3) continuously repeating the step (1) and the step (2) by the network model, and finishing model training until the maximum iteration times are reached. (4) And outputting the generated sea clutter image by inputting the sea surface geometric image.
Wherein, the weight of the discriminator and the weight of the generator are further described. Along with the optimization updating of the discriminator weight and the generator weight in an iterative mode, the corresponding generated network loss and the discrimination network loss show different trends. Generating network loss: the goal of generating a network is to produce a high quality image that can fool the discrimination network, making it difficult to distinguish between the generated image and the real image. Therefore, the loss function of the generated network is higher in the early stage of training, and the loss of the generated network gradually decreases as the generator gradually learns better image conversion. Judging network loss: the goal of the discrimination network is to accurately distinguish between the generated image and the actual image. In the early stage of training, the discrimination network can easily discriminate the generated image, so the loss of the discrimination network can be relatively low. As generators continue to improve, it becomes more difficult to identify networks, and therefore the loss of identification networks gradually increases until an equilibrium state is reached.
