Browse: 31 Time: 2025-09-16

在现代空防体系、机场运营管理及军事侦察领域,飞机目标检测的时效性、准确性与全天候能力至关重要。传统光学检测技术受气象条件(如阴雨、雾霾)与光照环境(如夜间、强光)限制,难以实现对飞机目标的持续监测;而合成孔径雷达(SAR)技术凭借全天候、全天时、高穿透性及远距离探测优势,可在复杂环境下获取飞机目标的高分辨率图像与散射特征,成为飞机目标检测的核心技术手段。当前,随着 SAR 技术向多极化、高分辨率、轻量化方向发展,其在飞机目标检测中的实践应用已覆盖军事机场侦察、民用机场运营监测、低空飞行器管控等场景,通过技术优化与算法创新,有效解决了飞机目标 “难识别、难跟踪、难区分” 的问题,为航空领域安全与效率提升提供了有力支撑

一、SAR图像的主要特性分析

SAR图像具有以下几个重要特性,它们对目标识别有着显著的影响:

相干性:SAR成像过程中利用了雷达波的相干性,即发射波和接收波之间存在固定的相位关系。这种相干性是实现高分辨率成像的关键。

多普勒效应:SAR成像通常伴随着多普勒频移,这是由于目标相对于雷达平台的运动产生的。多普勒效应可以用来提取目标的运动信息。

极化信息:SAR系统能够发射和接收不同极化的电磁波,因此能够获取地面目标的极化特性,提供了比单极化图像更多的信息。

波形特征:SAR图像中的每个像素点包含了反射波的波形信息,这些信息可以用来分析目标的物理特性。

二、SAR技术在飞机目标检测中的应用

(一)应用原理

自从发明飞机以来,飞机的结构形式虽然在不断改进,飞机类型不断增多,但到目前为止,除了极少数特殊形式的飞机之外,大多数固定翼飞机基本构造大体相同,主要可以分为机头、机身、机翼、尾翼和动力装置5大部分。由于合成孔,径雷达对金属材料具有良好的探测性能,飞机在SAR图像中含有丰富的散射信息,如图1所示。

飞机主要部件及散射机制

在高分辨率SAR图像中,由于飞机目标子部件远大于分辨率单元,因此SAR图像中飞机目标的散射信息主要由目标部件散射信息组成。基于飞机目标各部件的散射机制,单极化SAR图像中用于飞机目标检测识别散射信息主要包括目标几何特征、灰度统计特征与纹理特征3大类:

(1)目标几何特征:SAR图像中飞机目标的几何形状是它们特有的标志,可用几何特征对其进行检测识别。比如,SAR图像中飞机目标表现为离散的强散射点的形式,具有明显的点目标特征,通过对点目标的检测与判别,可对飞机目标进行粗略的分类,识别和定位;此外,由于SAR图像中飞机目标(子部件)与背景具有较大的后向散射系数差别,而在灰度突变处会形成图像的边界点,因此SAR图像中飞机目标容易形成边界线性目标,具有较强的边缘信息。

(2)灰度统计特征:SAR图像中灰度的变化取决于目标物的后向散射截面,在成像条件相同的情况下,目标物的后向散射载面取决于目标的结构与材质等信息。因为SAR图像中飞机目标与其周围背景具有明显的结构与材质上的差异,因此其灰度振幅与统计特征都具有较大差异,可以通过对背景杂波的建模以及目标灰度分布的统计建模实现对SAR图像中飞机日标的提取。

(3)纹理特征:纹理是指图像某一个区域的粗糙度或一致性,其取决于灰度的相对变化,而不是灰度的绝对值。一个图像的纹理随着雷达系统的波长、分辨率和入射角而变化,也会随着目标的组成成分和它的背景特征的排列状态而变化。不同类型的飞机目标之间的差异,往往不在于灰度大小,而在于它们的纹理差别。因此如何定义和计算目标局部纹理特征,对于虚警目标的鉴别以及不同型号飞机目标的分类是十分重要的。

(二)应用场景

民用航空领域:SAR技术为机场地面管理提供了全新工具。大型机场停机坪飞机密集停放,传统监视手段难以快速准确地统计飞机数量和位置。SAR图像结合自动目标检测算法,能够实现机场飞机的实时清点与监控,大大提高地面运营效率。

国防安全领域:SAR飞机检测具有更为重要的意义。军用机场的飞机部署动态是评估军事意图的重要指标。通过对敌对方机场的定期SAR成像和自动变化检测,能够及时发现战机调动、部署变化等情况,为情报分析提供关键信息。

Tianjing Yunhu | MiniSAR: Full Polarimetric Imaging Capability

In the field of remote sensing today, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), visible light, and infrared together form a multi-layered observation system. Visible light remote sensing is intuitive and clear, while infrared remote sensing excels at thermal sensing. However, both are passive detection methods, heavily reliant on sunlight or the target's own thermal radiation. Once they encounter cloud cover, nightfall, or rainy/foggy weather, their detection capabilities are significantly reduced or even completely lost.

Tianjing Yunhu | P-band Airborne SAR Radar System

Low-frequency radars (such as P-band and L-band radars) can "see farther and see more clearly" because of their longer wavelengths, lower attenuation, and reduced sensitivity to stealth coatings. In modern air defense systems, they are key to anti-stealth radars. They can penetrate 1-meter-thick camouflage netting and 3-meter-thick bushes to identify hidden tanks and radar stations, and are less likely to trigger enemy warning systems, demonstrating significant advantages in covert detection.

UAV L-band Heavy Orbit Interferometric SAR System: Airborne Verification for Millimeter-Level Deformation Monitoring

Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR) technology, with its all-weather, 24/7 capability and high sensitivity to surface deformation, has become an important tool for geological hazard monitoring, ground subsidence investigation, and infrastructure health diagnosis. Integrating InSAR technology onto unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms further overcomes the limitations of long satellite revisit cycles, insufficient maneuverability, and high costs associated with manned operations, providing a new approach for regional, high-frequency, and high-precision deformation monitoring. However, the small size and susceptibility of UAV platforms to airflow disturbances make it difficult to maintain consistent flight paths during repeated flights, posing a significant challenge to double-track interferometry processing.
