摘要

动态特征是海洋的重要方面。然而,传统的合成孔径雷达(SAR)图像处理方法大多将图像视为观测区域的瞬时状态,因而丢失了动态信息。实际上,我们可以从序列子孔径图像中获得海洋的动态特征,因为我们知道方位孔径的不同部分对应不同的成像实例。从序列图像中提取动态特征的关键步骤是图像匹配。然而,子孔径SAR图像的高噪声特性使得传统的图像匹配方法失效。针对SAR子孔径图像的重噪声问题,提出了一种基于改进相位相关的图像匹配方法。实验结果表明,改进后的图像匹配方法具有0.15像素的精度和噪声鲁棒性。分析表明,在大多数信噪比条件下,改进算法能够以0.15 ~ 0.3 m/s的估计精度从中分辨率机载SAR图像或高分辨率星载SAR图像中获取动态信息。将改进后的算法应用于机载SAR数据的运动速度检索。反演速度范围为0.05 ~ 0.5 m/s,这是比较合理的海流速度值。

An Improved Phase Correlation Method for Obtaining Dynamic Feature of the Ocean from Sequential SAR Sub-aperture Images
Dynamic features are important aspects of the ocean. However the dynamic information is lost in most conventional Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image processing methods, because they treat the image as an instantaneous state of the observed area. In fact, we can obtain dynamic features of the ocean from sequential sub-aperture images, because we know that the different parts of the azimuthal aperture correspond to different imaging instances. A key step for retrieving the dynamic features from sequential images is image-matching. However, the heavy noise characteristic of sub-aperture SAR images renders the traditional image-matching methods ineffective. In this paper we propose an image matching method based on improved phase correlation to deal with the heavy noise problem of SAR sub-aperture images. Experimental results show that the improved image-matching method presents an accuracy of 0.15 pixel and noise robustness. The analysis indicates that the improved algorithm is competent for obtaining dynamic information from the medium resolution airborne SAR images or high resolution spaceborne SAR images with 0.15-0.3 m/s estimation precision under most SNR conditions. The improved algorithm was used on an airborne SAR data to retrieve the movement velocity. The retrieved velocity ranged from 0.05-0.5 m/s, which seems to be reasonable value for the ocean current velocity.
