Along with the construction of an extra-high voltage transmission line and the large-scale implementation of urban power grid transformation, the requirements of an electric power system on the aspects of laying, operation and maintenance of a grounding device are more and more strict. In the operation process of the grounding grid, the contradiction between the design of the grounding grid and the actual safe operation is the key point of the safety problem faced by the grounding grid, and the effective detection mode of the electric power grounding grid is searched as a necessary means for realizing the safe operation of the electric network due to the existence of various threats of the safety problem of the grounding grid.
In the construction of the grounding grid, the design of the pull rod is important. And because of the reasons of imprecision in the construction process, inaccuracy in the test process and the like, great hidden danger is caused to the safe and stable operation of the power transmission line and the transformer substation.

Therefore, the accurate detection of the actual physical state and physical details of the pull rod in the power transmission line and the transformer substation grounding network has important significance, and the regular detection and maintenance are key for ensuring the normal operation of the system.

Example 1
The grounding device usually runs in soil, has a severe running environment, is easy to contact with humid, harmful gas, soil acidity and other environments, causes corrosion and carbonization of a grounding grid, and researches show that the annual corrosion rate of metal in corrosive soil is 2.0-8.0 mm, and the grounding conductor or the lead is easy to rust, deform and even break, thereby damaging the original design structure. In recent years, domestic and foreign investigation shows that the frequent occurrence of electric power system accidents caused by ground network faults brings about huge economic loss, meanwhile, the ground network is a concealed device which is independently buried underground, the buried depth is usually in the range of 0.3-0.5m of the shallow earth surface, the deepest can reach 1.5m, and the traditional direct excavation sampling or indirect resistance value measuring method has limitations and inefficiency and cannot form visual and objective detection. How to detect the electric connection faults of the grounding network caused by factors such as construction technology, soil medium, manual fault current electrodynamic action, soil corrosion and the like under the condition of not excavating, has become a focus and a difficult problem of attention of various countries in the world.
The invention mainly aims at researching the application feasibility of the ground penetrating radar for detecting the construction integrity of a high-voltage grounding network. And in the construction stage of the ground grid without finishing the construction of the transformer substation, the material property of the ground grid is estimated by analyzing the frequency/phase/amplitude characteristics between the target scattering signal detected by the GPR and the reference signal, so as to find out fault points such as ground grid fracture, welding leakage, outer edge disconnection and the like in the construction process and corrosion points generated by the influence of the environment on the ground grid.
Based on the above, the invention provides a radar signal-based trenchless pull rod corrosion detection method, which specifically is shown in fig. 1 and comprises the following steps:
and step 1, collecting a target echo signal of the grounding grid.
Specifically, the invention uses UWB pulse radar hardware system to collect ground network target echo signals. The UWB pulse radar hardware system is a GPR radar and mainly comprises the following parts: a group of receiving and transmitting antennas, a radar module and an I/0 module. The underlying software includes a drive and I/O module database, which is provided by the I/O module manufacturer and is used for specific I/O module programming. The middle layer is called Rardalib3 for intercommunication between the I/O modules and the user applications. And at the top layer, the user application program receives and processes the data in the radar module and finally displays the data through the terminal.
(1) And a radar module.
The radar signal generator port transmits a first-order Gaussian pulse signal with the transmission bandwidth of 0.45-3.55 GHz (-10 dB), the pulse repetition frequency (Pulse Repetition Frequency, PRF) is 48MHz, and parallel sampling with the maximum frame depth of 512 can be realized.
(2) I/O module
The I/O module is a USB to SPI adapter, which is itself a connection cable with various built-in electronic components, for communication between the radar module and the computer. The main characteristics are as follows: standard USB to SPI I/O adapter, do not require firmware development; the development is simple and convenient and has strong functions through computer support; for connectors that interface with Novelda radar modules, the USB2.0 high-speed interface (480 Mb/s) provides faster rates for high frame rate applications; the USB power supply mode provides power for the radar module;
(3) Antenna module
The ultra-wideband pulse GPR of the invention adopts a traditional linear polarization antenna and a Vivaldi antenna. The antenna is composed of three parts, namely a feeder line, a circular open cavity and a gradual change index slot line, as shown in fig. 2 (a), wherein the index gradual change curve of the antenna is an important parameter for determining the bandwidth of the antenna, the circular open cavity and the gradual change index slot line are arranged on the same side of a dielectric plate, and the feeder line is arranged on the other side of the dielectric plate. Theoretically, the vivaldi antenna bandwidth is not affected by the infinite bandwidth of frequency, but the actual main bandwidth is limited by the distance between the starting point and the ending point of the antenna radiation port curve, and the distance between the starting point and the ending point determines the highest frequency point of the antenna, and then corresponds to the lowest frequency of the antenna bandwidth. The metallic patch layer on the surface of the antenna can bind the radiation of the electric field, so that the binding capability of the metallic patch to the surface electric field at the opening direction of the exponential taper slot line of the antenna is minimum, corresponding to the maximum radiation direction of the antenna, and the far field directional radiation mode is shown in fig. 2 (b). The bandwidth range of the vivaldi antenna adopted by the invention is 0.9 GHz-5 GHz. The lobe width of the main lobe is E-plane and H-plane, and the antenna size. And combining the frequency band range of the radar signal generation module, and transmitting a first-order Gaussian pulse signal with the center frequency of 2.235GHz and the frequency band of 0.9-3.55 GHz by the ultra-wideband pulse ground penetrating radar. The radar transceiver pulse signal is shown in fig. 3.
(4) Display interface
The display of ultra-wideband pulse GPR is one NET radar application RadarScope. Vivaldi is SMA through the double-end, and the resistance value is 50 ohm's connecting wire and the transmitting end and the receiving end of antenna link to each other, and I/O module is connected through a 20PIN connector between the radar module.
When the hardware is well connected, the hardware and the computer are correctly connected through an adapter for converting the I/O module into the SPI after the radar application software package and the driver are correctly installed. The method comprises the steps of carrying out real-time updating on data captured by the radar in all windows during the operation of the radar through software, and storing sampling B-scan data. When shallow target measurement is carried out in sand pool experiments, radar parameter files are important to the subsequent estimation of the depth of the target in the vertical direction, and in addition, the sampling time of a radar receiving end needs to be zeroed before each measurement. Frame offset (Frame offset) refers to the time from the start of the transmission of a radar pulse to the sampling circuit to the sampling/listening of a received signal. The time required for a radar pulse to travel this distance is largely dependent on the medium through which the signal passes. In estimating depth information of echo data in a-scan/B-scan, it is important to ensure that the sampling time zero point of a-scan is consistent with the time of transmitting a pulse signal by a transmitting antenna, so that the propagation time of the pulse signal in a sampling circuit is measured, most CMOS circuits are influenced by environments such as temperature and time critical circuits (such as delay elements), and therefore, the propagation time of the signal in a hardware circuit is measured before each measurement. The radar sampling time "zeroing" is achieved by adjusting the parameters "SampleDelayToReference" (distance between the internal circuit and the reference point, in m), "sampledelayfromtreference" (time between the reference point and the start of the frame, in s) and "offsetdistancefromtreference" (distance between the reference point and the start of the sampling, in m).
When the UWB pulse radar hardware system is adopted to collect the target echo signals of the grounding grid, the relation between the detection time and the electromagnetic wave speed is as follows:
wherein X is the distance between a transmitting antenna and a receiving antenna, Z is the target burial depth, t is the double-way travel time of the ground penetrating radar GPR, and v is the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves in soil.
During the microwave nondestructive detection, the radar belongs to a very important technology, and the physical detection work of the grounding grid can be finished under the condition of no power failure by adopting the radar with high penetrability. The ultra-wideband transmitting signal can enter the grounding conductor, then the physical condition of the grounding conductor is mastered by adopting multi-dimensional measuring information in the echo signal, and the high output resolution is mastered by adopting the antenna technology, so that a very realistic visual image can be provided, and good data support is brought.
And 2, removing background noise in the ground network target echo signal by a gain joint-RPCA method, and performing data enhancement on the noise-removed ground network target echo signal by a resolution enhancement method.
Step 3, extracting the ground grid scattering echo waveform characteristics in the ground grid target echo signals after data enhancement by using a matching pursuit MP and an orthogonal matching pursuit method to form a ground grid echo signal fingerprint library, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps: and extracting characteristic waveforms based on the signal subspace, extracting the characteristic of the echo waveform of the ground network scattering by utilizing a matching pursuit MP and orthogonal matching pursuit method, and integrating the ground network echo signal fingerprint library.
And 4, constructing a grounding grid A-SCAN characteristic waveform library under different soil environments, materials and burial depths according to the grounding grid echo signal fingerprint library.
And 5, performing two-dimensional imaging of the grounding grid according to the A-SCAN characteristic waveform library of the grounding grid by adopting an offset imaging method to obtain a focused B-SCAN image, wherein the method specifically comprises the following steps of: .
Let e (x, z, t) be the echo signal received by the antenna of ground penetrating radar GPR, described using the scalar helmholtz wave equation:
wherein x represents the horizontal moving distance of the antenna, z represents the underground depth, t represents the time when the antenna receives an echo signal, and v is the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves in soil;

the propagation time of the electromagnetic wave of the ground penetrating radar in the underground medium is double-pass time, and the propagation speed of the electromagnetic wave adopts half of the actual propagation speed v; thus, k x ,k z The ω relationship is expressed as:
wherein v is constant in a homogeneous medium;

Theoretically, the smaller the discretized three-dimensional space x, y, z and the time t, the more truly the FDTD model can represent the electromagnetic wave propagation characteristics in the model, but is limited by the limited memory capacity and the processing speed of a computer, kane Yee determines the set criteria of the minimum grid building block (unit) size of the FTDT space discretization, namely the size of Deltax, deltay and Deltaz, and names grid units as Yee cells. Fig. 4 illustrates the coordinate system of gprMax, with the electric field component tangential to the matrix interface, the magnetic field component perpendicular to the matrix interface, and no field component in the center of the matrix for each cell matrix. The space discretization is required according to the precision, source pulse frequency and target geometry required by GPR numerical simulation, in addition, the electromagnetic wave in the real scene propagates around at the same speed, is not influenced by the direction and frequency (assuming no dispersion medium and far field conditions), but the situation is not satisfied in the simulation, the error caused by the simulation can be reduced by following a rule of thumb, and the discrete step size (deltax, deltay, deltaz) is ensured to be less than one tenth of the minimum wavelength of the propagating electromagnetic field.
Another most challenging problem that GPR forward simulation needs to solve is: the simulation of a real scene where a field propagates in space to infinity is zero. The space defined when the simulation model is built in gprMax is of finite size, i.e., z maximum is not infinite, so Maxwell's equation computation domain is truncated at a distance from the target finite distance. The gprMax uses an approximation, the perfect matching layer (Perfectly Matched Layer, PML) absorbs the boundary conditions (Absorbing Boundary Condition, ABC) and applies to the distance from the field source to the cut-off boundary, thus limiting the computation space. ABC functions to absorb any waves striking the cut-off boundary, simulating infinite space, thus avoiding the placement of excitation sources in these layers. In addition, due to the imperfection of ABCs, there is a reflection wave at the cut-off boundary of the computational domain (i.e., model) that is much smaller than the amplitude of the reflection wave in the model, in order not to introduce significant artificial reflection to interfere with the echo information of the target, when the size of the model domain is designed, it is necessary to satisfy that all targets are at least 15 Yee cells from the cut-off boundary, and that the air medium of at least 15-20 Yee cells in the GPR model is located in the area above the source (antenna).
(2) GPR model construction
FDTD simulations first define the dielectric parameters of the material. The simplest GPR detects at least three materials of different electromagnetic properties in the shallow mine and UXO models, air, dielectric half space (soil) and metal/nonmetal UXO, respectively. The dielectric parameters of air (free space) have been built into gplmax, which can be accessed and used using the identifier free_space, and the dielectric parameters of the metallic material have also been modeled in gplmax, which is accessed and used using the identifier pec. The definition of the dielectric half-space is the focus of the gprMax simulation, the soil is usually a non-magnetic material, μ r =1,σ * =0, definition and naming of the dielectric parameters, material identifiers by the term #material.
And then determining the waveform type and the center frequency of the antenna excitation source, and determining the center frequency and the pulse type of the radar signal according to the maximum reachable depth and the transverse/longitudinal resolution required by actual detection. In sand basin experiments, the GPR system uses a first order gaussian pulse with a center frequency of 2.235GH, so in corresponding GPR numerical simulations, a first order gaussian pulse radar signal waveform with an amplitude of 1 and a center frequency of 2.0GHz is created with a #wave form command, a Z-direction polarized hertz dipole source perpendicular to the measurement direction is commanded with a #hetzian_dipole, and an initial position of the transmitting antenna.
The computational spatial resolution (grid) and computational domain size are then defined. The mesh size is defined based on the shortest wavelength at which the excitation is effectively resolved and the detailed characteristics of the geometry in the model. To determine the minimum wavelength, the highest frequency and lowest speed present in the model are required. The highest frequency is not the center frequency of the first order gaussian pulse and it is necessary to examine the pulse waveform spectrum confirmation, which corresponds to the wavelength in the dielectric half space (with low wave velocity) as equation (9). The size of the computational domain should be sufficient to accommodate objects such as subsurface targets, interferents, etc., and at least 10 Yee cells required to account for the PML absorption boundary conditions and at least 10 Yee cells spaced between the PML and objects in the dielectric half-space.
Finally, the simulated total time window must be set long enough to ensure that the electromagnetic wave propagates through the dielectric half-space to the target object and is reflected back to the receiving antenna after being transmitted from the antenna. Dielectric half space range and mine therein and UXO geometric models can be constructed using the gprMax physical object creation command.
B-scan image resolution enhancement and subsurface target feature waveform extraction based on sparse representation.
Sparse representation of a signal refers to mapping the signal to a sparse domain (sparse basis) and representing useful information of the signal with as few non-zero transform domain elements as possible. For the observed echo data containing clutter interference, removing clutter components based on a sparse representation method of original data, and obtaining target signals with clutter components as few as possible, namely predicted data, wherein the target signals cannot be far away from the observed data. Consider a set of functions d= { g k K=1, 2,.. k Is a unit vector of the number of units,the function set D is called dictionary, g k Called atoms (or groups). The theory of highly linear estimation focuses on solving the following problem, given set g k And an observation matrix X, how to construct the signal S by self-adaptive approximation using M bases in the dictionary D, i.e. approximation of XResults X M The expression is:
wherein c= { c 1 ,c 2 ,...c K Sparsity of sparse representation, I M Is an index set, corresponding to non-zero elements in c, the number of non-zero elements in the set is M, and the corresponding approximation error is expressed as:
since M is much smaller than N, this signal representation method is called sparse representation. For redundant dictionaries (K > N), the unit vectors therein must be non-linearly independent, so that equation (11) has many different sets of representations. The focus of the sparse decomposition study is: when the error isApproaching a constant value, how to select the set with the highest sparsity from all possible combinations, i.e. how to get the minimum problem for M in equation (11).
Finding the best sparse representation of observed data, i.e. solving for i 0 Norm minimization problem:
wherein c 0 Representing the number of non-zero entries in c.
In practical applications, equation (12) is typically converted to a sparse approximation problem to approximate a solution, in the form:
min||c|| 0 s.t.||X-Dc||≤ε (13)
But due to l 0 The Non-convex function of norms, the computation of the best M-approximation from any redundant dictionary, is an NP-hard problem (Non-deterministic Polynomial hard problem, NP-hard). Therefore, it is necessary to rely on research calculationsThe method obtains good but non-optimal approximate values according to the signal characteristics of the actual application scene.
RPCA sparse representation denoising analysis.
The development of robust principal component analysis can be traced back to principal component analysis (Principal Component Analysis, PCA), which cannot effectively extract the target signal from highly corrupted measurement signals, i.e. observed data containing outliers and sparsity noise of too high amplitude. The RPCA effectively connects the effective bridge of two problems of sparse representation and matrix recovery, overcomes the defects of a PCA method by introducing sparse representation, enhances the robustness of an algorithm and recovers a low-rank matrix. In the application scene of land mine detection, RPCA decomposes GPR acquired data into a low-rank clutter matrix and a sparse matrix containing target response, and PCA is used as one of the performance analysis comparison methods of clutter denoising.
(1) Basic principle of
The echo of the target in the ground penetrating radar detection soil can be regarded as the sum of the responses of a plurality of strong scattering centers to be approximated, and is a sparse signal in a time domain, but a covariance matrix in PCA is very sensitive to data containing abnormal points or sparse signals with large amplitude, and can not effectively de-correlate an interference signal with coupling from the target signal, so that clutter components in the reconstructed target signal B-scan data can be restrained. Cande et al propose a robust principal component analysis method incorporating sparse representation to overcome the shortcoming of PCA, and for the radar signal clutter suppression field, RPCA decomposes m×n-sized raw data X into two parts, namely a low-rank matrix A (background noise/clutter interference) and a sparse matrix E (target echo), corresponding to a mathematical model representation as shown in formula (14), wherein A is a low-rank matrix with a small number of eigenvalues other than zero, and E represents a sparse matrix with only a few non-zero terms. The RPCA model can be defined as the mathematical optimization problem of (15)
X=A+E (14)
Where rank () represents the rank of the matrix, I.I 0 Is l 0 And the norm is the number of non-zero elements in the matrix, and lambda is a positive weighting parameter used for balancing the proportion between the low-rank matrix A and the sparse matrix E. But the optimized function of equation (15) -Low function sum l 0 The norm is non-convex, no effective algorithm can solve the optimal solution, and the global optimal solution is guaranteed. Wright et al propose to sum the kernel norms and l 1 The norms are respectively convex relaxed as a value function and l 0 The principal component tracing method of the norm effectively solves the optimization problem of solving the optimal solution in the formula (15). As long as matrix E is sufficiently sparse compared to a, equation (15) is converted to solve the convex optimization problem below, decomposing the observation matrix X:
wherein I II * Is the kernel norm (sum of singular values), I.I 1 Represents the maximum value of the sum of the absolute values of the matrix row (column) elements, λ being a positive weighting parameter.
(2) Optimization model solution
The above optimization can be regarded as solving for the minimization l 1 The problem of combining norms and nuclear norms, also known as convex optimization. The interior point method relies on the second order information of the objective function, whose iterative computation step direction complexity is O (m 6 ) The method is not suitable for a matrix with large dimension; iterative thresholding (Iterative Thresholding, IT), slow convergence computation takes too long; the APG and gradient rising method combined with the rapid extension technology has higher calculation speed than the IT method, but the convergence is not in line with the actual application requirement; the invention adopts the matrix recovery technology of the non-precise augmented Lagrangian multiplier (InexactAugmented Lagrange Multipliers, IALM) proposed by Lin et al to solve the problem of convex optimization, and the IALM is an improved method of the precise augmented Lagrangian multiplier method (Exact Augmented Lagrange Multipliers, EALM) to obtain the precise solution, and has the characteristics of high precision and high convergence speed.
Applying EALM to RPCA to solve the convex optimization problem of (16), then:
X=(A,E),f(X)=||A|| * +λ||E|| 1 ,h(X)=X-A-E (17)
the corresponding Lagrangian function form is:
however, the solution of (18) involves the sub-problem formula (19), { mu } k The total number of SVD calculations is affected by the process, since this process consumes most of the calculation time, when the constraint factor μ k If the setting is too low, the convergence rate of the iterative thresholding method for solving the equation becomes slow, and the literature indicates that the IALM can effectively solve this problem. The detailed procedure of the IALM-based RPCA method is described in algorithm 1.

Wherein J (X) = max (| Y 2-1 ||Y|| ),||·|| Representing the maximum value of the sum of absolute values of each row, the loop termination condition of algorithm 1 is:

In the invention, when GPR sampling data of shallow target detection are processed, parameters rho, mu and lambda in a signal decomposition model of RPCA are adjusted according to the distribution characteristics between clutter and target signals, so as to obtain an optimal result.
Gain processing in ground penetrating radar echoes.
Pulse radars are attenuated during the propagation of the soil medium due to absorption, dispersion, spherical divergence, and the like. Absorption causes energy losses associated with thermal conversion, associated with amplitude decay; dispersion refers to pulse deformation (typically expressed as a time extension) related to the frequency dependence of the wave parameters; spherical divergence refers to the scattering of energy from a wavefront, a pure geometric factor. The high frequency pulse components are more significantly affected by attenuation than the low frequency components, and radar image resolution suffers. In low and medium loss dielectrics, the signal varies significantly over only its amplitude spectrum, the phase spectrum remains almost unchanged, and the one-dimensional wave equation solution is in the general form:
A(x,t)=A 0 exp(-αx)exp[iω(t-x/ν)] (22)
Wherein A (x, t) represents the electromagnetic field value at the horizontal sampling point x, A 0 =A(0,0),Alpha is the attenuation coefficient, v is the phase velocity, ω=2pi f, for pulsed radar f=f c . The attenuation coefficient is typically frequency dependent with the phase velocity. Attenuation effects can be measured by a quality factor Q, expressed as (23) representing the ratio between stored and scattered energy during the cycle, GPR performance being better at high values of Q. Substituting equation (23) into equation (22) the signal amplitude can be expressed as (24).
In summary, the electromagnetic wave amplitude is exponentially decaying over time, which effect is particularly pronounced for high frequency components. From a practical point of view, well known time gain and spectral balancing tools can effectively correct for attenuation effects, are suitable for non-uniform media and do not require precise knowledge of attenuation parameters. According to the invention, an exponential gain is adopted to apply a gain function to a tracked continuous area (a time window with a specified length) in time, and an exponential fitting of a relational expression as shown in a formula (25) is carried out on echo data in a specified time window range of a specified horizontal sampling point, so that parameters A and B are determined, and m is the number of longitudinal sampling points. The gain function is also of the form (25), where B takes the negative of its exponentially fitting corresponding value, and a=1.
g(x)=A*exp(B*m) (25)
And (3) performing offset imaging and grounding grid detection on the entropy constraint speed field.
Aiming at the embedded posture of the tension rod, a rapid migration imaging method is researched, the characteristic extraction of the underground target is carried out, the embedded posture and the geometric information of the underground target are estimated, and the method is very important for the detection and maintenance of a power transmission line; and (3) researching an RPCA nonexplosive drug characteristic extraction method based on F-K offset imaging aiming at an underground target made of low metal or plastic materials.
Based on the coupling relation between the echo characteristics and the geometric shape and the gesture of the echo characteristics, the high-precision detection of the geometric shape and the gesture of the tension rod is realized, but the horizontal and transverse resolution of GPR radar detection is not high. According to the fluctuation theory, the main reflection energy of the target comes from the first Fresnel zone, and the size of the reflection echo of the underground target is larger than the actual size due to the occurrence of the Fresnel zone, so that the boundary of the underground target is blurred, and the resolution in the horizontal direction and the imaging precision of the underground target are reduced. The first fresnel zone radius approximately characterizes the horizontal resolution, the larger the first fresnel zone radius, the lower the horizontal resolution of identifying adjacent targets. High resolution imaging is a key basis for subsurface target pose estimation. In order to improve the detection accuracy of the underground target and realize the extraction of geometric shapes, the first Fresnel radius must be reduced, and the resolution in the horizontal direction is improved.
The first fresnel zone is horizontal to GPR resolution. The region of the ground penetrating radar pulse traveling downwards is a cone as shown in fig. 5, and the limited size of this region affects both the vertical resolution and the horizontal resolution. Wherein the vertical resolution is approximately c/2 Deltaf (epsilon) r ) 1/2 =λ/2, where c is the radar wave velocity in air, ε r Is the dielectric constant of the formation, lambda is the wavelength.
The radius of the first Fresnel zone is r= [ v/2 ]][t/f] 0.5 Is frequency; f is the bi-directional propagation time; v is the wave velocity in the medium. Accurate speed estimation is seen as a key issue.
The invention is based on the ground penetrating radar wave speed estimation principle of the minimum principle of the offset image entropy, the invention researches the F-K offset algorithm of the minimum speed estimation constraint of the entropy, and compares and analyzes the F-K offset with the kirchhoff offset and split-step Fourier (SSF) offset method; the method has the advantages that the local GPR pulse propagation speed of the shallow surface target area under various buried postures is rapidly and effectively estimated, underground target pickup and high-resolution imaging under the background noise of strong coupling in the direction of the survey line are realized, the boundary of the horizontal direction of the non-explosive is clear, the resolution of the geometric form detection of the underground target is improved, the interpretation difficulty is reduced, the buried postures, the size and the buried depth of the shallow surface target are determined, and the detection efficiency of the underground grounding grid and the tension rod is further improved.
The invention also provides an electromagnetic wave speed estimation method based on the entropy constraint of the F-K offset image information, and local constant speed field estimation is realized. When the detected target is shallow (0-25 cm), the local subsurface can be assumed to be a uniform medium, and the electromagnetic wave velocity can be regarded as approximately a local constant velocity. The electromagnetic wave velocity in the underground medium determines the F-K offset imaging quality, and the F-K offset algorithm is quite sensitive to small changes of velocity. Therefore, the invention adopts a method of scanning the wave velocities one by one on the sequence frequency-wave number domain offset image, and selects the wave velocity with the optimal imaging quality as the optimal wave velocity.
The focus quality of offset imaging is judged by using an image entropy value, the larger the entropy value is, the larger the offset calculation error is, the smaller the entropy value is, the clearer the offset image is, the higher the resolution in the horizontal direction is, and the smaller the error is. The main purpose of GPR offset imaging is to generate an image with significant peaks at the target location and no significant structure in non-target areas, which has a small entropy and can accurately identify the detected target. The method uses the maximum norm of the variance as the approximation of the entropy, has the advantages of low calculation complexity and good stability, and can avoid the complex situation of calculating zero logarithm. The entropy of the B-SCAN radar image is defined as:
Where S represents the number of sampling points and T represents the number of sampling channels.
When the entropy in the sequence offset (focusing) image is minimum, the estimated speed of the F-K offset image is the optimal offset speed, and the estimated speed is closest to the real speed of the electromagnetic wave propagating in the underground medium, so that the energy focusing performance of the generated offset image is the best. When the underground target detection is carried out in the field, the propagation speed of electromagnetic waves in an underground soil medium needs to be estimated rapidly and effectively, and an underground section view of the non-explosive agent along the direction of the survey line is formed by using a proper offset imaging method based on the speed, so that the shape, the size, the placement posture, the burial depth and other information of the non-explosive agent are estimated. The algorithm speed is considered, compared with offset methods such as SSF, kirchhoff and the like, the F-K offset method is the fastest in speed, and the offset precision and accuracy can meet the requirements of non-explosive detection. F-K local constant velocity offset imaging algorithm based on offset image entropy constraint is provided.
The main algorithm flow is that a group of speeds with corresponding sizes are set according to the approximate estimated dielectric constant in a medium where an underground target is located, a certain speed interval is taken, then F-K offset imaging is carried out on B-scan images filtered by clutter, sorting is carried out from large to small according to the entropy of offset images corresponding to each speed, speed output corresponding to the minimum entropy is taken, F-K offset is carried out, an offset section is output, and further judgment and analysis of the shape, the size and the like of the underground target are carried out.
As shown in fig. 8 to 17, the present invention also performed a number of experiments to verify the proposed method.
And (5) extracting experiments and analysis of the gain combination-RPCA underground target characteristic waveform.
As shown in fig. 8 to 10, in the case that the target signal is completely submerged in the surface strong reflection signal, after the values of the parameters ρ and λ in the RPCA are adjusted, the decoupled target echo data E and the clutter and noise data a are observed, so that the surface strong echo data with the depth ranging from 3.07 to 7.11 can be obviously and effectively inhibited, the hyperbolic characteristic of the target signal in the sparse matrix E can be effectively reserved, the lower surface echo data (the lower surface target echo with the depth of 14 cm) of the geometric model of the tension rod can also be effectively reserved, the signal amplitude is increased by exponential gain, and the geometric shape B-scan of the target is restored by the offset processing. When serious aliasing is not generated, RPCA can effectively inhibit the surface standing wave and other clutter components, but the extraction effect of lower surface echo signals (the signal depth is 17 cm) at deeper positions is poor, and the repeated reflection wave residues of an upper interface cause interference to the identification of lower interface echo signals of a target.

The effect of shifting the target nearer to the ground is remarkable, while the effect of shifting the target farther from the ground is weaker because the soil is not a lossless medium, and the signal strength of the electromagnetic wave signal when it propagates underground decreases with the increase of the propagation depth.
