Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of radar signal processing, in particular to a method and device for extracting features of a target scattering center. Background technique [0002] The GTD (Geometric Theory of Diffraction) model is a mathematical model that describes the mechanism of high-frequency electromagnetic scattering. Its parameter estimation methods can be divided into two categories: the first category is parameter estimation based on physical models. Directly estimate the parameters of the prototype of the GTD model, among which the more representative ones include the maximum likelihood method, the sparse solution method, etc.; the second type is the parameter estimation based on the mathematical model, which approximates the GTD model echo into a band attenuation Various classical spectral estimation methods such as ESPRIT, MUSIC, RELAX, etc. can be applied to the solution of such problems. Since the second type of method has...

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The parameter estimation method based on the physical model has relatively high accuracy, but the calculation amount is large and the operation is cumbersome.

For example, the maximum likelihood estimation method needs to optimize the high-dimensional nonlinear non-convex function, which not only needs to go through a complex iterative process, but also is very easy to fall into local optimization, resulting in parameter estimation errors

Relatively speaking, the sparse solution method is a simpler and more reliable estimation method, and it has a better solution effect for the 1D-GTD (one-dimensional geometric theory of diffraction) model, but for the 2D-GTD (two-dimensional geometric theory of diffraction) model, this For problems with a high class dimension, the construction dictionary is very large, resulting in a geometric progression in the amount of calculations, and parameter estimation is very difficult

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned problem that the 2D-GTD model is difficult to solve sparsely, it is urgent to optimize the dictionary structure and seek a fast sparse solution method for the 2D-GTD model, so as to extract the characteristics of the target scattering center
