针对SAR成像中的方位预滤波,讨论两种方位预滤波的算法。经比较,“拉格朗日乘子法”滤波器更适合应用到SAR成像中,因为该方法在保证相位特性的同时使成像带宽内信号能量最大、非成像带宽内的信号能量尽可能小,最大限度地保证了成像质量。最后还给出方位预滤波基于FPGA的硬件实现及实测数据成像结果。

Soil moisture estimation by using multipolarization SAR image

In the past studies, different soil moisture estimation models were developed for bare soil areas by using remotely-sensed data. However, there are few models that can be used to estimate soil moisture in vegetated areas. Water Cloud Model (WCM) model is a widely used soil moisture estimation model has been developed for vegetated areas. In this study, the WCM model was extended to take soil roughness parameter into consideration. The modeling and its accuracy assessment were done by using multi-polarization Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (AIRSAR) images and ground data collected during field Soil Moisture Experiments.     

Constellation analysis of an integrated AIS/remote sensing spaceborne system for ship detection

A future system integrating data from remote sensing and upcoming AIS satellites is analyzed through the development of a novel design method for global, discontinuous coverage constellations. It is shown that 8 AIS satellites suffice to guarantee global coverage and a ship location update of 50 min if the spaceborne AIS receiver has a swath of 2800 nm. Furthermore, synergic utilization of COSMO/SkyMed and Radarsat-C data would provide a mean revisit time of 7 h, with AIS information available within 25 min from SAR data acquisition.     

Matching suitable feature construction for SAR images based on evolutionary synthesis strategy

In the paper,a set of algorithms to construct synthetic aperture radar（SAR）matching suitable features are frstly proposed based on the evolutionary synthesis strategy.During the process,on the one hand,the indexes of primary matching suitable features（PMSFs）are designed based on the characteristics of image texture,SAR imaging and SAR matching algorithm,which is a process involving expertise;on the other hand,by designing a synthesized operation expression tree based on PMSFs,a much more flexible expression form of synthesized features is built,which greatly expands the construction space.Then,the genetic algorithm-based optimized searching process is employed to search the synthesized matching suitable feature（SMSF）with the highest effciency,largely improving the optimized searching effciency.In addition,the experimental results of the airborne synthetic aperture radar ortho-images of C-band and P-band show that the SMSFs gained via the algorithms can reflect the matching suitability of SAR images accurately and the matching probabilities of selected matching suitable areas of ortho-images could reach 99±0.5%.     

Subsidence rate monitoring of Aghajari oil field based on Differential SAR Interferometry

Land subsidence, due to natural or anthropogenic processes, causes significant costs in both economic and structural aspects. That part of subsidence observed most is the result of human activities, which relates to underground exploitation. Since the gradual surface deformation is a consequence of hydrocarbon reservoirs extraction, the process of displacement monitoring is amongst the petroleum industry priorities. Nowadays, Differential SAR Interferometry, in which satellite images are utilized for elevation change detection and analysis – in a millimetre scale, has proved to be a more real-time and cost-effective technology in contrast to the traditional surveying method. In this study, surface displacements in Aghajari oil field, i.e. one of the most industrious Iranian hydrocarbon sites, are being examined using radar observations. As in a number of interferograms, the production wells inspection reveals that surface deformation signals develop likely due to extraction in a period of several months. In other words, different subsidence or uplift rates and deformation styles occur locally depending on the geological conditions and excavation rates in place.

天基合成孔径雷达(SAR)是一种重要的主动遥感设备,在测绘、目标警戒、资源探测等方面具有独特的全天时、全天候优势。但由于低波段电磁频谱异常拥挤复杂,也容易受到其他无线电设备的非蓄意射频干扰(RFI)。本文针对工作于P、L波段的天基SAR系统,分析其常见的地面射频干扰源及其干扰机理,并构建典型的窄带与宽带干扰模型,比较分析了频域陷波、最小均方(LMS)算法、自适应线谱增强(ALE)、特征子空间分解与时频滤波等多种干扰抑制算法,并在卫星实测数据的基础上进行仿真验证抑制宽带干扰的有效性。仿真结果表明:时频滤波算法抑制宽带干扰效果最好,造成的信号损失最小,能够为后续天基合成孔径雷达的抗干扰算法设计提供决策依据。     

雷达图像幅值空间变迹算法

针对旁瓣抑制，给出了一种幅值空间变迹算法。该算法与一般空间变迹法不同，主要通过每一像素点幅值与相邻两个Nyquist采样点幅值之和做比较来判别该点处于主瓣还是旁瓣，来加以不同处理。在整数倍Nyquist采样的情况下，这种算法不仅压低旁瓣还使主瓣变窄，能得到比传统SVA更高的分辨率，在非整数倍Nyquist采样的情况下也比SVA具有更好的稳健性。对此进行了实验研究，结果证实了该算法的有效性。     

A non-local vectorial total variational model for multichannel SAR image speckle suppression

This paper aims at the multichannel synthetic aperture radar(SAR)image speckle reduction.This paper proposes a novel energy minimized regularization model for multichannel image denoising,which is an extension of the non-local total variational model for gray-scale image.It contains two terms,namely the vectorial data fidelity term and the non-local vectorial total variation term.The latter is constructed by high-dimensional non-local gradient that contains the structure information of the multichannel image.The existence and the uniqueness of the solution of the model are proved.A fixed point iterative algorithm is designed to acquire the solution of this model.The convergence property of this algorithm is proved as well.This model is applied to the multipolarimetric and multi-temporal RADARSAT-2 images despeckling.The result shows that this model performs better than the original vectorial total variational model on texture preserving.
