极化信息在水下地形SAR探测中的应用

现有的水下地形SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar)探测模型尚未综合应用SAR的极化信息。本文基于Valenzuela的雷达散射截面表达式与袁业立提出的海波高频谱表达式,并结合全极化SAR相干斑抑制的极化白化滤波法,将极化信息有效地运用到水下地形SAR探测中去。最后,以中国台湾浅滩为例,分别利用Radarsat-2单一极化和全极化影像开展水下地形SAR探测研究,探测结果表明充分利用全极化信息的探测精度明显优于单一极化信息的探测精度,利用极化信息可以有效地提高水下地形SAR探测精度。     

风速风向对SAR浅海水下地形成像影响的仿真研究

基于SAR浅海水下地形成像机理和M4S海面微波成像程序,建立了SAR浅海水下地形成像仿真模型,改进了传统浅海水下地形成像仿真模型的缺陷.通过仿真研究和分析浅海水下地形SAR图像特征实例,对风速风向与浅海水下地形SAR图像特征的关系提出了新的认识.低风速条件下,浅海水下地形SAR海面后向散射强度整体偏暗,高风速下整体偏亮;sAR图像条带亮暗的程度与风速有一定的关系,但不是主要的影响因素.风向对SAR浅海水下地形成像的影响明显,表现为,在逆风和顺风情况下,浅海水下地形SAR海面后向散射强度整体偏亮,SAR图像分别以亮条带和暗条带为主;侧风情况下,整体偏暗,SAR图像条带亮暗相当;最佳探测风向是逆风向.

基于图像特征的星载SAR图像模拟研究

SAR图像模拟技术被广泛应用于SAR系统的设计和验证、SAR图像的正射纠正、雷达图像解译和目标识别等。随着星载SAR的发展,必然面临着对星载SAR图像模拟的大量需求。本文首先从SAR图像的几何特征和辐射特征出发,探讨了SAR图像模拟技术的原理,分析了RD（Rang Doppler）模型,后向散射模型和斑噪模型。在传统RD模型的基础上,根据不同地形特征（起伏地形和平坦地形）考虑不同的后向散射模型。特别强调了在平坦地形情况下,需要地物分类数据的参与,并利用Ulaby和Dobson的后向散射模型。另外,在SAR图像统计特征的基础上,进行SAR图像的乘性噪声模拟,可以满足更逼真的SAR场景需求。然后,给出了图像模拟的算法流程,并对关键步骤的算法做了分析。最后,在实现基于图像特征的星载SAR图像场景模拟算法的基础上,选择新疆窝依牙地区和天津地区分别进行起伏地形和平坦地形的模拟试验,实验结果证明了本文模拟算法的有效性。

A case study of using external DEM in InSAR DEM generation

Synthetic aperture radar interferometry (InSAR) has been used as an innovative technique for digital elevation model (DEM) and topographic map generation. In this paper, external DEMs are used for InSAR DEM generation to reduce the errors in data processing. The DEMs generated from repeat-pass InSAR are compared. For steep slopes and severe changes in topography, phase unwrapping quality can be improved by subtracting the phase calculated from an external DEM. It is affirmative that the absolute height accuracy of the InSAR DEM is improved by using external DEM. The data processing was undertaken without the use of ground control points and other manual operation.     

Role of ocean variability and dynamic ocean topography in the recovery of the mean sea surface and gravity anomalies from satellite altimeter data

Procedures to calculate mean sea surface heights and gravity anomalies from altimeter-derived sea surface heights and along-track sea surface slopes using the least-squares collocation procedure are derived. The slope data is used when repeat track averaging is not possible to reduce ocean variability effects. Tests were carried out using Topex, Geosat, ERS-1 [35-day and 168-day (2 cycle)] data. Calculations of gravity anomalies in the Gulf Stream region were made using the sea surface height and slope data. Tests were also made correcting the sea surface heights for dynamic ocean topography calculated from a degree 360 expansion of data from the POCM-4B global ocean circulation model. Comparisons of the anomaly predictions were carried out with ship data using anomalies calculated for this paper as well as others. Received: 19 August 1996 / Accepted: 14 April 1997     

Slope correction for ocean radar altimetry

We develop a slope correction model to improve the accuracy of mean sea surface topography models as well as marine gravity models. The correction is greatest above ocean trenches and large seamounts where the slope of the geoid exceeds 100  \(\upmu \) rad. In extreme cases, the correction to the mean sea surface height is 40 mm and the correction to the along-track altimeter slope is 1–2  \(\upmu \) rad which maps into a 1–2 mGal gravity error. Both corrections are easily applied using existing grids of sea surface slope from satellite altimetry.     

Analysis of Patterns in Diadromous Fish Distributions Using GIS

Understanding the factors limiting migratory behaviour is fundamental to conservation of diadromous fish. Applications of indices of habitat suitability are problematic for diadromous fish because fish presence and abundance in relation to habitat quality are confounded by barriers to fish migration. An alternative approach is to assess diadromous fish distributions in proportion to distance inland and altitude above mean sea level, and subsequently generate trajectories for the various species. This approach, however, may be problematic. We show that river distance inland and elevation are only weakly correlated in our study area. Thus, in areas where steep slopes are not encountered, fish migrations to significant elevations and inland distances can be expected. In other areas, coastal cliffs and geologic fault lines provide for steep stream gradients close to the sea, and fish do not migrate far inland. To solve this issue, we developed methods for improving species trajectory approaches to explain the distribution of diadromous fish using a GIS. We adjusted distance and altitude categories so that each stratum was represented by the same number of site records, with flexible intervals for each stratum. For species capable of forming land‐locked populations we manipulated input values for elevation and river distance inland to account for migrations from lakes, rather than sea. Additionally, a new GIS derived variable was introduced to better explain the distribution of diadromous fish; the maximum stream slope a fish would encounter during upstream migration. This new slope variable, independent of distance inland and elevation, is likely to be a better predictor of migratory fish occurrences than elevation above mean sea level, as the different species will have different slope‐thresholds that they can overcome.     

雷达后向散射模型及其在雷达图像地形影响纠正中的应用

在从雷达估测森林生物量时，经常遇到的一个问题是地形对雷达信号的影响。地形使得雷达波的入射角度改变，使每个雷达图像像元所包含的地表面积改变，由于地面的起伏，植被本身的结构也不同，纠正这种由地形而不是植被类型引起的雷达图像的变化是一个很复杂的问题，除了需要高质量的地形数据外，还必须理解植被雷达信号随地形变化的规律。提出一种可用来模拟森林及其它植被处于山坡上的雷达后向散射模型。结合DEM数据，模拟的结果可用来进行雷达图像的地形影响纠正，如果多极化或多波段图像存在，通过雷达模型可用从一种极化推导出的地形信息来纠正其它极化的图像数据。

A spectral optimally interpolated mean sea surface from satellite radar altimetry

 A technique is presented for the development of a high-precision and high-resolution mean sea surface model utilising radar altimetric sea surface heights extracted from the geodetic phase of the European Space Agency (ESA) ERS-1 mission. The methodology uses a cubic-spline fit of dual ERS-1 and TOPEX crossovers for the minimisation of radial orbit error. Fourier domain processing techniques are used for spectral optimal interpolation of the mean sea surface in order to reduce residual errors within the initial model. The EGM96 gravity field and sea surface topography models are used as reference fields as part of the determination of spectral components required for the optimal interpolation algorithm. A comparison between the final model and 10 cycles of TOPEX sea surface heights shows differences of between 12.3 and 13.8 cm root mean square (RMS). An un-optimally interpolated surface comparison with TOPEX data gave differences of between 15.7 and 16.2 cm RMS. The methodology results in an approximately 10-cm improvement in accuracy. Further improvement will be attained with the inclusion of stacked altimetry from both current and future missions. Received: 22 December 1999 / Accepted: 6 November 2000     

Gravity-field improvement in the Mediterranean Sea by estimating the bottom topography using collocation

The contribution of bathymetry to the prediction of quantities related to the gravity field (e.g., gravity anomalies, geoid heights) is discussed in an extended test area of the central Mediterranean Sea. Sea gravity anomalies and a priori statistical characteristics of depths are used in a least-squares collocation procedure in order to produce new depths, giving a better smoothing of the gravity field when using a remove-restore procedure. The effect of the bottom topography on gravity-field modeling is studied using both the original and the new depths through a residual terrain modeling reduction. The numerical tests show a considerable smoothing of the sea gravity anomalies and the available altimeter heights when the new depth information is taken into account according to the covariance analysis performed. Moreover, geoid heights are computed by combining the sea gravity anomalies either with the original depths or with the new ones, using as a reference surface the OSU91A geopotential model. Comparing the computed geoid heights with adjusted altimeter sea-surface heights (SSHs), better results are obtained when subtracting the attraction of the new depth information. Similar results are obtained when predicting gravity anomalies from altimeter SSHs where the terrain effect on altimetry is based on the new bottom topography.
