基于弧段检测的高频地波雷达特定目标航迹跟踪方法研究

本文对现有的高频地波雷达目标跟踪方法进行了概述,提出了一种地波雷达目标长时连续跟踪的方法,基本思想是:充分挖掘航迹弧段特征,基于特征对船只运动建模,并结合杂波背景进行融合决策。进一步,为了达到长时间连续跟踪的需求,借鉴深度学习的思想,利用新获取的弧段数据对算法估计结果不断递归校正,使得随着获取数据的增加跟踪越准确。该方法适用于杂波环境且在航道附近存在众多干扰船只的情况下对机动目标航迹的实时稳定跟踪,为高频地波雷达在复杂干扰环境下特定目标持续跟踪提供理论基础和方法指导,为充分发挥地波雷达在海上监视监测中的作用提供技术支撑。     

基于多帧聚类的紧凑型地波雷达海上目标航迹起始方法

紧凑型地波雷达是专属经济区内海上船只目标监测预警的重要手段。由于其发射功率低、目标回波信噪比低,在对海上船只目标检测过程中较低的检测概率极易导致目标漏检,采用序贯类方法难以及时起始航迹。对此,本文通过分析杂波和目标的地理位置以及径向速度随时间变化的特点,提出了一种基于多帧聚类的紧凑型地波雷达海上目标航迹起始方法。该方法利用目标和杂波在连续多帧内运动特征的差异,在具有噪声的基于密度的空间聚类算法（Density-Based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise, DBSCAN）求解聚类ε邻域的过程中增加运动特征约束,将各船只目标在多帧内的点迹聚类为不同的簇,实现海上船只目标点迹与杂波点的区分,将簇内点迹按时间顺序顺次连接得到起始航迹。利用仿真与实测紧凑型地波雷达数据开展了航迹起始实验,结果表明,与逻辑法相比,本文方法得到的航迹起始时间平均提前了5.95 min,丢点率平均降低了12.68%,解决了海上弱目标航迹起始时间滞后的问题,适用于杂波区目标与雷达远端船只目标的航迹起始。

基于AIS信息校准的双频地波雷达的船只融合跟踪

高频地波雷达（HFSWR）和自动船只确认系统（AIS）是船只跟踪的重要传感器。高频地波雷达可以用来跟踪探测区域的所有船只，而AIS只能用来确认合作船只的信息。由于海杂波的干扰，使用单频率地波雷达的船只跟踪会淹没在布拉格峰值的盲区里，改变探测频率是克服这一缺点的有效手段。在这种背景下，我们提出一种基于AIS校准的双频雷达融合探测算法。因为不同频率的地波雷达测量与AIS的测量值存在系统误差，所以AIS信息可以用来估计和校准地波雷达的每个频率的系统误差。首先，将合作目标的点迹测量与地波雷达的点迹测量通过JVC分配算法进行点迹关联。从合作船只的点迹关联结果中，双频雷达的系统误差可以估计和校准。其次，基于校准的双频雷达数据，使用融合JPDA-UKF算法进行船只跟踪。通过真实探测的数据的实验结果显示所提算法可以实时跟踪船只，相比单频率跟踪可以进一步提高跟踪能力和跟踪精度。     

高频地波雷达海上目标航迹校正方法

高频地波雷达对海上目标跟踪探测时,由于距离和方位角分辨率低且受到随机噪声的干扰,导致对目标位置探测不准确,形成的航迹会偏离目标的真实位置,影响跟踪的准确性。针对这个问题,结合海上特定目标跟踪的实际,本文从航迹的角度出发,基于对距离和方位角误差时间序列的统计建模,提出了一种基于同步船舶自动识别系统(Automatic Identification System,AIS)信息的高频地波雷达海上目标航迹校正方法。在高频地波雷达与AIS同步跟踪期间,采用统计回归的方法建立目标距离和方位角误差的校正模型;在高频地波雷达独立跟踪时,利用得到的模型分别对距离和方位角进行校正。利用实测高频地波雷达目标探测数据进行了航迹校正实验,校正后距离和方位角的均方根误差分别减少了约90%和75%,航迹跟踪效果得到了显著改善。     

Super-resolution processing for HF surface wave radar based onpre-whitened MUSIC

Owing to the decametric wavelength, the angular resolution of high-frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) is usually coarse, especially when dimensions of antenna arrays are restricted such as in shipborne HFSWR applications. In this paper, the relative strength of atmospheric noise and sea clutter that will heavily degrade the capabilities of HFSWR in target detection and resolution are calculated, then a method for estimating the spatial covariance matrix of background noise is presented. By introducing a pre-whitening procedure in multiple signal classification (MUSIC), the resolution performance of MUSIC is enhanced in spatially colored noise environment. Results with data from the aircraft detecting experiment conducted by the Research Institute of Electronic Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology in 1994 and simulated data of two targets show that pre-whitened MUSIC can provide a better resolution and accurate determination of target number. Furthermore, a post-processing method is proposed to eliminate the sidelobe of spatial spectrum arising from the estimation errors of a noise covariance matrix

Ionospheric decontamination and sea clutter suppression for HF skywave Radars

In this paper, a cascaded correction and suppression method of reducing ionospheric phase path contamination and sea clutter to enable detection of targets travelling at speeds near the Bragg Doppler is addressed. The Hankel rank reduction (HRR) technique based on singular value decomposition (SVD) has been used to estimate the ionospheric phase distortion and suppress the sea clutter. Simulation results show that such a technique is helpful for the worse conditions when the target masking effect happens even after ionospheric phase decontamination. Finally, an attempt to combine another phase decontamination algorithm based on the piecewise polynomial phase modeling with the clutter cancellation stage for faster phase fluctuation is discussed briefly and some results are given.     

Applying chaos to radar detection in an ocean environment: anexperimental study

Ship navigation through ice-infested waters is a problem of deep concern to the oil exploration industry of Northern countries. Conventional marine radars do not perform satisfactorily in detecting small targets such as small pieces of iceberg. This paper reports a new method for detection in an ocean environment. The approach is based on the recent observation that sea clutter, radar echoes from the sea surface, can be modeled as a nonlinear deterministic dynamical system which can be used as an alternative to the conventional stochastic process. Based on this model, detection in sea clutter is considered as dynamical system classification instead of statistical hypothesis testing. Two dynamical detection methods are proposed. The first one uses a dynamical invariant called the attractor dimension to distinguish a target from a pure clutter process. The second approach tries to detect the existence of a target by observing the “difference” of the motion of the target and the clutter process. To show the validity of the idea of dynamical detection in sea clutter, real sea clutter, and target data were used in this study     

船只目标SAR、HFSWR和AIS多手段融合探测的点迹关联分析

A space-borne synthetic aperture radar （SAR）, a high frequency surface wave radar （HFSWR）, and a ship automatic identification system （AIS） are the main remote sensors for vessel monitoring in a wide range. These three sensors have their own advantages and weaknesses, and they can complement each other in some situations. So it would improve the capability of vessel target detection to use multiple sensors including SAR, HFSWR, and A/S to identify non-cooperative vessel targets from the fusion results. During the fusion process of multiple sensors＇ detection results, point association is one of the key steps, and it can affect the accuracy of the data fusion and the efficiency of a non-cooperative target＇s recognition. This study investigated the point association analyses of vessel target detection under different conditions： space- borne SAR paired with AIS, as well as HFSWR, paired with AIS, and the characteristics of the SAR and the HFSWR and their capability of vessel target detection. Then a point association method of multiple sensors was proposed. Finally, the thresholds selection of key parameters in the points association （including range threshold, radial velocity threshold, and azimuth threshold） were investigated, and their influences on final association results were analyzed.
