With this capability, ROSAR has extensive potential applications, such as self-navigation and self-landing. Moreover, it has many advantages if combined with the frequency modulated continuous wave （FMCW） technology. A novel geometric configuration and an imaging algorithm for helicopter-borne FMCW-ROSAR are proposed. Firstly, by per- forming the equivalent phase center principle, the separated trans- mitting and receiving antenna system is equalized to the case of system configuration with antenna for both transmitting and receiving signals. Based on this, the accurate two-dimensional spectrum is obtained and the Doppler frequency shift effect in- duced by the continuous motion of the platform during the long pulse duration is compensated. Next, the impacts of the velocity approximation error on the imaging algorithm are analyzed in de- tail, and the system parameters selection and resolution analysis are presented. The well-focused SAR image is then obtained by using the improved Omega-K algorithm incorporating the accurate compensation method for the velocity approximation error. FJnally, correctness of the analysis and effectiveness of the proposed al- gorithm are demonstrated through simulation results.展开更多

The cross-range signal model of rotating target with fixed acceleration is presented and the weighted linear least squares estimation of rotational parameters with fixed velocity or acceleration is proposed via the relationship of cross-range FM （frequency modulation） parameter, scatterers coordinates and rotational parameters. The FM parameter is calculated via RWT （Radon-Wigner transform）. The ISAR imaging and cross-range scaling based on scaled RWT imaging method are implemented after obtaining rotational parameters. The rotational parameters estimation and cross-range scaling are validated by the ISAR processing of experimental radar data, and the method presents good application foreground to the ISAR imaging and scaling of maneuvering target.展开更多

文摘针对常规模型在合成孔径雷达(synthetic aperture radar,SAR)图像中对近岸旋转舰船目标检测效果不佳的问题,提出一种基于全局特征融合的SAR图像旋转舰船目标检测方法。首先,通过全局注意力特征金字塔网络融合不同层级特征,缩短了底层特征向顶层特征的传递路径。其次,在图像块融合阶段加入位置编码,以减少降采样导致的定位信息损失。最后,采用旋转特征对齐网络生成高质量的锚点和旋转对齐特征,用于分类和坐标回归。所提方法在SAR舰船斜框检测数据集(rotated ship detection dataset in SAR images,RSDD-SAR)上旋转交并比为0.5时的平均检测精度达到了0.8948,对近岸和离岸舰船都有着较好的检测性能。
