基于协方差矩阵的极化干涉SAR图像海面慢动目标检测新方法研究

The detection of slow moving target in complex marine environments is a difficult problem in the field of radar detection. It is an effective method to solve this problem by establishing the accurate statistical model of polarimetric SAR interferometry in image domain, estimating the model parameters accurately and applying the optimal moving target detection algorithm. .This project fully considers the influence of complex marine environments, the physical characteristics of slow motion and the polarization of ship targets, and develops a new area of slow target detection via along track interferometry based on Polarimetric SAR in image domain. .First the slow moving target scattering models are established based on the different representation of polarimetric SAR interferometry by scattering matrix and covariance matrix, and then the novel slow moving target detection algorithm is put forward using general likelihood ratio test(GLRT) via the above full information covariance matrix models..Second the performance of the methods is improved by developing image registration and polarimetric whitening filtering of polarization SAR interferometry to suppress sea clutter influence, which can also reduce the dimension of the covariance matrix; and then the optimal detection variable will be found by the covariance matrix decomposition and key parameter recombination when physical differences between moving target and sea clutter are fully discriminated and analyzed..Last the physical and electromagnetic differences of ship wake and ocean current velocity, especially the velocity distribution, is examined carefully. The new method of ship detection is put up based on the tail characteristics of the flow, and then the slow moving target detection theory system is fully established for polarimetric along track interferometric SAR.
