Geometric Continuity Characterization of Urban Buildings in SAR 3D Imaging Domain and Few-tracks 3D Imaging
-
摘要: 合成孔径雷达(SAR)是一种主动式微波传感器，具备全天时、全天候工作的能力，是重要的对地观测数据源。二维SAR图像回波混叠影响其在目标识别等方面的应用，利用多基线观测的SAR三维成像技术能够解决目标叠掩问题，但受限于系统复杂度，当前机载或星载单航过SAR系统仅能获得稀疏采样，无法满足算法对数据量的需求。由此发展的微波视觉三维成像新理论通过挖掘微波视觉语义信息来弥补采样的不足，其关键技术包括视觉信息获取以及信息融合处理。然而，SAR图像的几何连续性表征和应用方式缺乏相关性研究，该文分析了典型目标在SAR三维成像域内几何连续性的表征形式，并分别提出了隐式和显式几何连续性约束的少轨数三维成像方法。最后采用实测机载阵列InSAR数据进行算法验证，表明利用几何连续性约束能够有效提升稀疏采样下的三维成像性能。该文提出的几何连续性表征方法为微波视觉三维成像的具体实现提供了一种有效途径。Abstract: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is an active microwave sensing technology capable of all-weather, day-and-night operation, making it a critical source of Earth observation data. However, conventional two-dimensional SAR imagery often suffers from echo overlap, limiting its effectiveness for target recognition. Although three-Dimensional (3D) SAR imaging using multibaseline observations can mitigate target occlusion, single-pass airborne or spaceborne SAR systems are typically constrained by system complexity, resulting in sparse track sampling that is inadequate for conventional 3D imaging algorithms. To address this limitation, a novel microwave vision-based 3D imaging framework has recently been proposed, in which visual semantic information is extracted and fused to enhance imaging performance. However, the characterization and application of geometric continuity in SAR imagery remain largely unexplored. This study characterizes the geometric continuity properties of typical urban buildings in the SAR 3D imaging domain and proposes sparse-track 3D imaging methods constrained by both implicit and explicit geometric continuity. Experimental results obtained from measured airborne-array InSAR data demonstrate that incorporating geometric continuity constraints effectively enhances 3D imaging performance under sparse sampling conditions. These findings indicate that geometric continuity-based representations provide a practical and effective pathway toward realizing microwave-vision 3D SAR imaging.
