一种新的空谱联合探测高光谱影像目标探测算法

高光谱遥感影像不但具有高分辨率的空间信息还包含连续的光谱信息,因此在目标探测领域具有独特的应用优势。传统的高光谱遥感影像目标探测侧重于光谱信息的应用,形成了确定性算法和统计学算法。确定性算法通过计算目标光谱与待检测光谱之间的距离来查找目标,不能检测亚像素目标,而且容易受到噪声的影响;统计学目标检测计算背景统计特性,通过探测异常点来检测目标,可以检测亚像素目标和小目标,但容易受到目标尺寸的影响,不能很好的检测大目标。随着高光谱遥感影像的空间分辨率的增加,探测目标已有亚像素目标逐步转换为单像素及多像素目标,此时,在高光谱图像中,相同类别的地物在空间分布上呈现聚类特性, 因此,在利用高光谱遥感影像进行目标探测时,需要将其空间信息融入算法中。将空间特征引入传统目标探测算法。提出了一种新的空谱结合的高光谱目标探测算法,将传统的基于统计的目标探测算子与空域邻域聚类算法相结合,首先利用目标探测算子将影像划分为潜在目标区域与背景区域;通过计算潜在目标区域的质心,以质心为中心进行邻域聚类,剔除潜在目标区域中的背景区域,通过迭代计算获取最终目标探测结果。传统的基于统计的目标探测算子,将整个探测区域定义为背景区域,实现对背景区域的统计特征提取,而该方法将背景区域与潜在目标区域分离,剔除了目标区域对背景区域的统计干扰。将本算子与传统的约束能量最小化算子和自适应余弦探测算子进行分析比较可知,该算子的大目标探测性能优于传统的统计算子。     

基于磁光调制的多光谱目标识别系统的研究

基于特征光谱的目标识别技术具有检出能力强,可分辨目标种类等优点,但也存在一定的问题,即需要事先获取背景光谱作为先验知识且要求背景光谱随时间的变化较小。由此限制了其在新环境、复杂环境中实时目标识别方面的应用。设计了一种采用磁光调制配合特征光谱分析的技术手段,使目标识别过程中无需事先获取背景谱,从而实现了一次采集获取被测目标信息的功能,相比传统的目标检测方法而言,对战场的适应能力更强,具有较好的实用意义。同时,磁光调制技术有效地抑制了背景杂散光的干扰,从而提高了目标识别概率。由于磁光调制提供了目标光谱的累加迭代信息,故即使未知背景光谱或者背景光谱变化较大时,也可以通过目标光谱的迭代信息大幅提高目标识别率。针对不同被测目标的回波光强与背景光强值进行实验分析,结果显示,三种目标对调制线偏振光的反射能力明显强于背景。采用伪装色的被测目标对可见光成像目标识别影响很大,而调制偏振型系统仍能很好地识别目标。在此基础上,对0.5～2 km范围内的目标进行多特征波长目标种类识别。采用三个特征波长时,目标识别概率在2 km左右明显降低,采用四个或五个特征波长位置时,可以实现95.0%以上的目标识别概率,同时为了降低运算量提高系统的实时检测能力,最终采用四个特征波长。     

Noniterative analytical formula for inverse scattering of multiply scattering point targets

This paper derives, in the exact framework of multiple scattering theory for point targets, a noniterative analytical formula for the nonlinear inversion of the target scattering strengths from the scattering or response matrix that can be applied after the target positions have been estimated in a previous step via, e.g., time-reversal multiple signal classification or another approach. The new formula provides a noniterative analytical alternative to the iterative numerical solution approach for the same problem presented in a recent paper [A. J. Devaney, E. A. Marengo, and F. K. Gruber, "Time-reversal-based imaging and inverse scattering of multiply scattering point targets," J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 118, 3129-3138 (2005)]. The two methods (noniterative versus iterative) are comparatively investigated with two numerical examples.

为了控制水稻螟虫预警和喷洒农药用量,实现对水稻螟虫虫害的无损检测,提出了基于主成分分析特征波段检测方法和基于迭代阈值的最优波段检测方法,确定了水稻茎秆螟虫检测的特征波段和最优波段,提取出单波段和组合波段的图像来分割虫孔,从而实现水稻螟虫的精准的无损检测。首先通过高光谱得到的120个样品反射率信息分析确定了光谱区域为450～1 000 nm。基于主成分分析特征波段检测方法,对高光谱图像进行主成分分析,通过前五个主成分图像比较确定第三主成分图像为最佳,然后根据第三主成分图像中各个波段的贡献率来选取特征波长（668.8和750 nm）,最后结合全局阈值分割和图像掩膜等图像处理方法实现对虫孔区域的判别。而利用基于迭代阈值的最优波段检测方法,在可见光波段450～750 nm范围和近红外波段750～1 000 nm范围内应用混合距离挑选最佳的单波段,通过单波段来确定组合波段,对单波段和组合波段进行迭代阈值分割,其中753.5 nm波长分割效果最好,故确定753.5 nm为最优波长,然后提取该波长的图像采用一种基于迭代阈值虫孔提取方法和形态学处理,最后能对水稻茎秆虫孔区域进行判别来实现水稻茎秆虫害是否存在。对60个虫害水稻茎秆和60个正常水稻茎秆进行检测,应用基于主成分分析特征波段检测方法在668.8和750 nm波长处检测率分别为95.8%和93.3%,而应用基于迭代阈值的最优波长检测方法在753.5 nm波长处检测率高达96.7%。说明利用基于迭代阈值的最优波长检测方法对水稻螟虫的检测更加精确,也说明所获取的特征波段和最优波段为以后水稻螟虫虫害的多光谱成像技术提供了理论参考。     

Salient contour extraction from complex natural scene in night vision image

The theory of center-surround interaction in non-classical receptive field can be applied in night vision information processing. In this work, an optimized compound receptive field modulation method is proposed to extract salient contour from complex natural scene in low-light-level (LLL) and infrared images. The kernel idea is that multi-feature analysis can recognize the inhomogeneity in modulatory coverage more accurately and that center and surround with the grouping structure satisfying Gestalt rule deserves high connection-probability. Computationally, a multi-feature contrast weighted inhibition model is presented to suppress background and lower mutual inhibition among contour elements; a fuzzy connection facilitation model is proposed to achieve the enhancement of contour response, the connection of discontinuous contour and the further elimination of randomly distributed noise and texture; a multi-scale iterative attention method is designed to accomplish dynamic modulation process and extract contours of targets in multi-size. This work provides a series of biologically motivated computational visual models with high-performance for contour detection from cluttered scene in night vision images.     

Revisiting iterative time reversal processing: application to detection of multiple targets

The iterative time reversal processing represents a high speed and easy way to self-focus on the strongest scatterer in a multitarget medium. However, finding weaker scatterers is a more difficult task that can be solved by computing the eigenvalue and eigenvector decomposition of the time reversal operator, the so-called DORT method. Nevertheless, as it requires the measurement of the complete interelements response matrix and time-consuming computation, the separation of multiple targets may not be achieved in real time. In this study, a new real time technique is proposed for multitarget selective focusing that does not require the experimental acquisition of the time reversal operator. This technique achieves the operator decomposition using a particular sequence of filtered waves propagation instead of computational power. Due to its simplicity of implementation, this iterative process can be achieved in real time. This high speed selective focusing is experimentally demonstrated by detecting targets through a heterogeneous medium and in a speckle environment. A theoretical analysis compares this technique to the DORT formalism.

Track infrared point targets based on projection coefficient templates and non-linear correlation combined with Kalman prediction

For a long time, tracking IR point targets is a great challenge task. We propose a tracking framework based on template matching combined with Kalman prediction. Firstly, a novel template matching method for detecting infrared point targets is presented. Different from the classic template matching, the projection coefficients obtained from principal component analysis are used as templates and the non-linear correlation coefficient is used to measure the matching degree. The non-linear correlation can capture the higher-order statistics. So the detection performance is improved greatly. Secondly, a framework of tracking point targets, based on the proposed detection method and Kalman prediction, is developed. Kalman prediction reduces the searching region for the detection method and, in turn, the detection method provides the more precise measurement for Kalman prediction. They bring out the best in each other. Results of experiments show that this framework is competent to track infrared point targets.     

A unified algorithm for target detection and tracing based on data of array sensors

A unified method for target detection and tracing based on data from sensors of array is presented in order to improve detection and tracking abilities of the weak targets with low signal-to-noise ratio. Assuming that the multiple targets are uncorrelated each other and the number of the targets is known a priori, the status of the targets can be estimated with the maximum a-posteriori （MAP） method directly through the sensors data. The proposed method is different from the classical method, by which it can detect and track targets simultaneously by adding the target＇s signal energy information besides its direction of arrivM（DOA） information. Simulated and sea trial data results show that the detection and tracing capabilities of weak targets can be improved and wrong tracing and missing tracing problems, which exist in the classical tracing method when it is faced with the crossing targets, can be resolved by the proposed method.     

Joint detection and tracking of size-varying infrared targets based on block-wise sparse decomposition

The high variability of target size makes small target detection in Infrared Search and Track (IRST) a challenging task. A joint detection and tracking method based on block-wise sparse decomposition is proposed to address this problem. For detection, the infrared image is divided into overlapped blocks, and each block is weighted on the local image complexity and target existence probabilities. Target-background decomposition is solved by block-wise inexact augmented Lagrange multipliers. For tracking, label multi-Bernoulli (LMB) tracker tracks multiple targets taking the result of single-frame detection as input, and provides corresponding target existence probabilities for detection. Unlike fixed-size methods, the proposed method can accommodate size-varying targets, due to no special assumption for the size and shape of small targets. Because of exact decomposition, classical target measurements are extended and additional direction information is provided to improve tracking performance. The experimental results show that the proposed method can effectively suppress background clutters, detect and track size-varying targets in infrared images.

The DORT solution in acoustic inverse scattering problem of a small elastic scatterer

The DORT (French acronym for Décomposition de l’Opérateur de Retournement Temporel) method is a novel approach for active detection and focusing of acoustic waves on the targets in the scattering medium. This technique involves the determination of the invariant of the time-reversal operator obtained by measurement of the scattering data in a pulse-echo mode. In this paper, a proposed approach based on the DORT method is developed to solve the acoustic inverse scattering problem of a small metallic scatterer. The proposed approach not only estimates the position of the scatterer, but also determines the physical properties of an unknown metallic scatterer such as the shape (cylinder or sphere), the material (density), and the size (radius) in an anisotropic scattering case. Theoretical and numerical simulation results are also studied and investigated to show that the proposed approach can simultaneously characterize all those properties of an unknown metallic scatterer. Moreover, the advantage of the proposed approach is to avoid the complex iterative scheme in solving the direct scattering problem and results in smaller computational load and faster implementation.

Benefits of space-time diversity for radar

When designing a new radar system, standard resolution trade-offs play a major role, providing the basic parameters of the radar, such as size, update rate, and range. Besides, diversity has long been used for mitigating fading effects due to the fluctuation of targets and clutter.However, with the arrival of more flexible systems, using multiple parallel channels on transmit and receive, and wider instantaneous bandwidths, these standard trade-offs are becoming less simple—and more flexible. In this communication, we will analyse the benefits of diversity and its relations with range, Doppler, and angle, for detection and location of moving targets with wideband/wide-beam radar systems. The idea is to contribute to a better understanding of the real benefits of agile transmissions for detection/localization of moving targets, focusing on range, velocity, and angular measurement improvements, as well as on the benefits for detection of moving targets.Special attention will be given to the quality of the different wideband wide-beam sensor modes for long-range surveillance, and new results on detection of moving targets in clutter will be provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of these new architectures for small target detection at long range, in difficult environments.     

Raman spectroscopic detection for liquid and solid targets using a spatial heterodyne spectrometer

Spatial heterodyne Raman spectroscopy (SHRS) is a new type of effective method for the analysis of structure and composition of liquid and solid targets with the characteristics of no moving parts, high spectral resolution, high optical throughput and large field of view. The technique is very suitable for detecting the targets from long distances or under the conditions with ambient light, which is essential for the exploration of planetary surface. In order to have a better understanding of the ability of SHRS for the detection of liquid and solid targets, a breadboard was designed, built and calibrated. Signal to noise was estimated at different integration time or laser power for carbon tetrachloride. Pure materials or materials contained in bottles were both tested. The mixture of organic liquids or inorganic solids were tested. In order to test the detection ability for natural targets, some composition‐unknown rocks and pebbles were tested. The results have shown that SHRS can meet the requirements for the detection of weak Raman signal scattered from artificial or natural targets. Standoff detection of sulfur from 5‐m or 10‐m distance without using any telescope or collimation optics was also tried to test the high optical throughput of SHRS. The potential feasibility of standoff detection has been proved. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
