干涉合成孔径雷达海浪遥感研究

海浪是重要的海洋环境参数, 它对港口建设、海上航行、油气田开发等具有重要的意义。合成孔径雷达(Syn thet ic Apertu re Radar, SAR ) 是目前大范围测量海浪的主要工具, 用它来估计海浪主波系统的波长和传播方向比较好, 但要定量的提供海浪的振幅以及SAR 图像强度与实际海面的关系是相当困难的, 而且由SAR 图像获取海浪方向谱也比较复杂。沿航迹干涉合成孔径雷达(Along-Track Interferometric Synthet ic Aperture Radar,ATI-SAR ) 是在平台飞行方向上安置两根天线的双天线合成孔径雷达。相对于合成孔径雷达, 真实孔径雷达调制传递函数对沿航迹干涉合成孔径雷达相位图像的影响很小, 因此沿航迹干涉合成孔径雷达更适合测量海浪。详细介绍了沿航迹干涉合成孔径雷达海浪遥感的成像机制, 为进一步反演海浪方向谱奠定了基础, 最后针对目前研究存在的问题以及今后有待研究的方向进行了探讨。

L波段合成孔径雷达影像反演涌浪参数

针对L波段合成孔径雷达图像尚无波浪反演算法的问题,提出了利用高级陆地观测卫星(ALOS)搭载的相控阵列L波段合成孔径雷达(PALSAR)在日本近海的图像发展的算法,反演得到了涌浪参数(包括波长和波向)。研究假设L波段SAR对涌浪的成像机制为线性的,通过图像处理得到了高质量的PALSAR图像谱,从此谱可计算得到谱峰值波长和波传播方向。此图像谱所固有的180°方向模糊,可利用涌浪只向近岸传播的特点解决。通过对反演和日本"全国港湾海洋波浪情报网"(NOWPHAS)现场观测的波参数的比较,波长的偏差是-10.5m,均方差是18.3m,相关系数是0.94;波向的偏差是-1.3°,均方差是15.5°,相关系数是0.94。上述数据表明,反演方法中将L波段PALSAR对涌浪的成像机制假设为线性是可行的。

Measurement of ocean surface slopes and wave spectra using polarimetric SAR image data

Methods have been investigated which use fully polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image data to measure ocean slopes and wave spectra. Independent techniques have been developed to measure wave slopes in the SAR azimuth and range directions. The azimuth slope technique, in particular, is a more direct measurement than conventional, intensity based, backscatter cross-section measurements.In the azimuth direction, wave-induced perturbations of the polarimetric orientation angle are used to sense the wave slopes. In the range direction, a new technique involving the alpha parameter from the Cloude-Pottier H-A-? (Entropy, Anisotropy, and (averaged) Alpha) polarimetric scattering decomposition theorem is used to measure slopes. Both measurement types are sensitive to ocean wave slopes and are directional. Taken together, they form a means of using polarimetric SAR (POLSAR) image data to make complete measurements of either ocean wave slopes, or directional wave spectra.These measurements must still contend with fundamental nonlinearities in the SAR image processing (i.e., azimuth direction “velocity bunching”) that are due to wave velocity and acceleration effects.NASA/JPL/AIRSAR L-, and P-band data from California coastal waters were used in the studies. Wave parameters measured using the new methods are compared with those developed using both conventional SAR intensity based methods, and with in situ NOAA National Data Center buoy measurement products.     

Sparse synthetic aperture radar imaging with optimized azimuthal aperture

To counter the problem of acquiring and processing huge amounts of data for synthetic aperture radar(SAR)using traditional sampling techniques,a method for sparse SAR imaging with an optimized azimuthal aperture is presented.The equivalence of an azimuthal match filter and synthetic array beamforming is shown so that optimization of the azimuthal sparse aperture can be converted to optimization of synthetic array beamforming.The azimuthal sparse aperture,which is composed of a middle aperture and symmetrical bilateral apertures,can be obtained by optimization algorithms(density weighting and simulated annealing algorithms,respectively).Furthermore,sparse imaging of spectrum analysis SAR based on the optimized sparse aperture is achieved by padding zeros at null samplings and using a non-uniform Taylor window.Compared with traditional sampling,this method has the advantages of reducing the amount of sampling and alleviating the computational burden with acceptable image quality.Unlike periodic sparse sampling,the proposed method exhibits no image ghosts.The results obtained from airborne measurements demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method.

Comparative flood area analysis of C-band VH,VV, and L-band HH polarizations SAR data

The role of synthetic aperture radar (SAR)-image-based flood area mapping is proved beyond the doubts. It is also well known that different wavelength, polarization SAR reacts in varying ways over the same land-use/land-cover region. In line to this, this article mainly brings out the significance of comparing and analysing different wavelength, polarization SAR data of the same inundated region against the land-use classes of the study area. The C-band ENVISAT advanced synthetic aperture radar data of vertically transmitted horizontally received (VH), vertically transmitted vertically received (VV) polarizations data, and L-band ALOS-1 PALSAR data of horizontally transmitted horizontally received (HH) polarization data has been obtained as both these satellites captured the same flood event of Andhra Pradesh state of India. Initially, the SAR images are classified with the help of digital elevation model of the disaster region which supports in mapping the fully submerged, partially submerged and non-flooded pixels of disaster region. The fully submerged regions includes the natural waterbodies, adjacent flood plain regions which are completely submerged, as well as not accessible, whereas the partially submerged regions are spatially discontinuous and scattered regions which are inundated due to recent disaster but accessible. In this study, much emphasis has been given in comparing and analysing the fully submerged, partially submerged, and non-flooded regions of classified SAR images against each land use of the disaster region by which the response of individual land-use units of the disaster region at different wavelength, polarization has been brought out. From this comparative assessment, it has been observed that the areal extent of fully submerged regions is considerably more in L-band HH image than in the C-band polarization images. It is also been noticed that C-band VH polarization image is able to map and quantify considerable part of the land-use classes as partially submerged regions than the L-band HH polarization image. In addition to this, the proposed technique is able to rectify in classifying mangrove regions as non-flooded regions due to the land-use/land-cover-based approach.
