Problems solved by technology

[0006] In order to solve the existing similarity measurement methods in multi-polarization SAR image registration, only the power information of the echo signal of multi-polarization SAR or the gray level information of a certain channel are used, and the problem of using multi-polarization information is ignored. The present invention provides a method for characterization of radar image similarity based on inter-channel coherence coefficient of multi-polarization SAR, aiming to utilize rich polarization information contained in multi-polarization SAR images

Embodiment Construction

[0045] The present invention mainly adopts the method of processing polarimetric SAR data to verify, and all steps and conclusions are verified correctly on MATLAB7.0. The specific implementation steps are as follows:

[0046] Step 1: Calculate the coherence coefficient γ between the HH channel and the VV channel of all pixels (x, y) in each multi-polarization SAR image among the multiple multi-polarization SAR images to be characterized by similarity 13 , and then obtain the coherence map γ corresponding to each multi-polarization SAR image.

[0047] After a series of preprocessing, two polarimetric SAR images with the same size and different phases are obtained, which are denoted as A and B respectively, and the size is 81×81. Each pixel X in the figure corresponds to a polarization vector X=(HH, HV, VV) T =(s 1 ,s 2 ,s 3 ).

[0048] Select a template with the same size as A and slide it in B. Every time you slide to a position, the image in the template is recorded as...

Abstract

The invention provides a characterization method of similarity between polarized synthetic aperture radar images, belonging to the radar image processing technology field. The method comprises the following steps: in a plurality of multi-polarization SAR images whose similarity is to be characterized, calculating a coherent coefficient gamma13 between an HH channel and a VV channel of all pixel points (x, y) of each multi-polarization SAR image, and obtaining a coherent graph gamma corresponding to each multi-polarization SAR image; calculating a similarity MI (gamma A, gamma B) based on mutual information between any two images in the plurality of multi-polarization SAR images whose similarity is to be characterized, wherein MI (gamma A, gamma B)=H(gamma A)+ H(gamma B)-H(gamma A, gamma B). According to the invention, a coherent coefficient between copolarization channels is utilized to carry out similarity characterization, and utilization rate of image information is raised; when estimating a coherent coefficient between polarized channels, not only is information of center pixel is utilized, but also polarized information of a surrounding pixel is utilized, and robustness of the coherent coefficient is raised; mutual information measure with good anti-noise performance and acutance characteristic is employed carry a coefficient information source so that the similarity characterization is carried out; thereby a base is established for subsequent accurate efficient multipolarization SAR image rectification.
