The invention relates to a navigation X-waveband
radar ocean
wave parameter inversion
algorithm based on EOF
decomposition. The method comprises the following steps: first of all, carrying out EOF
decomposition on a navigation X-waveband
radar image sequence to obtain different modalities; then by use of a Burg
algorithm, obtaining a maximum entropy power spectrum of the main component of a first modality, and according to a spectrum
peak value, obtaining a period and a
wavelength of ocean
waves; by use of a
linear relation between a standard deviation of the main component of a modality and an effective
wave height, obtaining an effective
wave height of the ocean
waves; by use of a space function of the first modality and the main component of the first modality, reconstructing a
radar image sequence of the first modality of an ocean
wave field, performing two-dimensional Fourier transformation on any one image in the sequence, and according to an obtained wave-number spectrum
peak value, determining a
simulation wave direction; and by use of wave stripe similarities in two adjacent radar images, determining an ocean wave direction. According to the invention, by use of an EOF, the ocean
wave field is decomposed into the different modalities, and the
wave height, the period, the
wavelength and the wave direction of the ocean
waves are extracted from major modalities, such that the problem of influences caused by inhomogeneity of the
wave field and large
noise in case of a low ocean condition is solved.
