The invention relates to a polarization SAR (
Synthetic Aperture Radar)
terrain radiation correction and geometric
correction method based on imaging surface representation. According to the method, the
radiation value of the imaging surface of an SAR image is taken as the representation of a backscattering coefficient. The method comprises the following steps of 1, obtaining the SAR image and a
radiation calibration file external DEM (Dynamic Effect Model) in a region; 2, performing radiation calibration according to a radiation calibration file of the original polarization SAR image; 3, calculating the unit area of the external DEM; 4, generating an SAR image line and column number
lookup table according to a distance Doppler SAR positioning model and calculating the projection area of an equiphase surface; 5, generating an SAR
simulation image by combining the projection area of the equiphase surface with the line and column number
lookup table; 6, matching a real SAR image with the
simulation SAR image, building a polynomial correction equation, and refining the line and column number
lookup table; 7, carrying out
terrain radiation correction on the polarization SAR image according to the backscattering coefficient expression based on the imaging surface of the SAR image; 8, carrying out geometric correction according to the refined line and column number lookup table. According to the scheme provided by the invention, the radiation
distortion of the polarization SAR image, caused by
terrain can be corrected, and the high-precision geometric positioning and correction of the polarization SAR image are realized.
