Research on Recognition Method in Mixture Scenarios of Ships and Floating Targets
-
摘要: 在雷达海上探测场景中,当舰船与漂浮目标处于同一距离单元中,形成信号混叠的混合体目标时,如何实现混合体中单个目标的准确识别,当前仍未得到有效解决。针对该问题,本文提出一种基于模态重构与时频域差异特征的海上目标识别方法。不同于将混合体目标整体处理的传统思路,该方法采用变分模态分解(VMD)有效分离混合体中的多普勒通道,针对虚假模态和目标信息碎片化表达问题,提出基于能量约束的模态滤波方法和基于频谱一致性的模态聚类方法,实现多目标场景下回波模态重构处理。在此基础上,分别从图像层面和数据层面出发,提取微多普勒频率全变差(VF)和主多普勒通道等级熵(REDDC ) 两个识别特征,对目标的微多普勒和混乱度差异进行量化表征与联合识别。结果表明,本文算法在2~4级海况条件下对混合体中各目标的平均识别准确率达97.32%,整体性能优于已有方法。Abstract:
Objective In radar maritime target detection scenarios, when two or more targets are located within the same range cell, they form mixture echoes, such as echoes from both ship and floating targets. Existing target recognition methods exhibit notable limitations in such scenarios, mainly because they focus on Doppler channel with strongest energy in time–frequency domain. To address this issue, this paper proposes a target recognition method that jointly integrates mode reconstruction and time–frequency features. The objective is to distinguish individual target without prior knowledge of whether the received echoes contain mixture targets or not, avoiding reliance on high range resolution or multi-polarization information. Methods The core idea is to introduce Variational Mode Decomposition (VMD) to decompose radar echoes into multiple modal components, thereby achieving Doppler-channel separation. To address the spurious modes and the fragmented representation of a single target across multiple modes after decomposition, energy-constrained mode filtering method and spectral consistency based mode clustering method are proposed for effective mode selection and reconstruction. Based on the reconstructed signals, we then exploit the time–frequency differences between ships and floating targets in terms of micro-motion and complexity by extracting features from two perspectives, namely motion stability and disorder degree of energy distribution, which are short for VF and REDDC features, so as to enable accurate identification of individual target. Results and Discussions The experiments are conducted using X-band radar measured data under sea states 2~4 ( Table 1 andTable 2 ). The results show that, the proposed method achieves an average recognition accuracy of 97.32% in mixture scenarios, significantly outperforming existing four-feature recognition method (Table 3 ) as well as state-of-the-art methods (Fig. 9 ). After investigating the impact of the frequency separation between different targets, it is found that when the time–frequency ridge space exceeds 70 Hz, the recognition accuracy reaches 97.93% (Fig. 11 ). This result also provides empirical support for selecting reasonable clustering threshold in mode reconstruction stage. When mixture scenarios turns to single target scenarios because of relative motion, the proposed method achieves an average recognition accuracy of 93.34%, which is 4.62% higher than that of existing four-feature method (88.72%) (Table 4 ). The analysis also indicates that, to ensure the expected recognition accuracy, the observation duration for feature extraction should be no less than 0.25 s (Fig. 12 ).Conclusions This paper investigates the recognition problems in maritime multi-target mixture scenarios. By introducing VMD, the constituent components of mixture echoes are separated. To address spurious modes and fragmented representation of target information across multiple modes, energy-constrained mode filtering method and spectrum consistency based mode clustering method are proposed. The VF and REDDC features are extracted from structure perspective and complexity perspective respectively. SVM classifier is then employed to complete target recognition. Performance analyses confirm that the proposed method can effectively identify each constituent target in mixture echoes while maintaining superior recognition performance in single target scenarios. Future work will focus on improving computational efficiency and real-time capability by optimizing the stopping criteria of VMD iterations, and on exploring the application boundaries of the method using measured data under higher sea states. -
