In image matching, higher resolution of an image means higher matching accuracy and there are more features that can be extracted, but the matching time is longer.Thus, the image matching algorithm based on SIFT is improved in this paper.Rough matching is performed on the feature points of the second group of Gaussian pyramids.The improved RANSAC based on GMS is used to eliminate the mismatched points and obtain the affine matrix, and the matching area is roughly determined.During the process of accurate matching, the remaining feature points in the same matching area are filtered, and the matching pairs are filtered by using the previous affine matrix, and the least squares algorithm is used to eliminate the mismatched points again and quickly solve the final affine matrix.The experimental results show that this method greatly shortens the matching time and improves real-time performance under the condition of guaranteeing the sub-pixel accuracy.

    In the bistatic radar, the unsynchronized clock source will bring carrier frequency deviation and time synchronization error to the received signal, which may affect the accurate positioning and slow micro-Doppler detection.Aiming at these factors, a combined processing algorithm is proposed based on phase compensation of direct wave phase and frequency-domain cancellation of the range Doppler spectrum.The algorithm does not need a shared clock source for the bistatic system.Firstly, all received signals are Scompensated by the phase of the direct wave to offset the phase error caused by carrier frequency deviation.Then, the side-peak interference caused by the time synchronization error is effectively eliminated by frequency-domain cancellation using the data of range Doppler spectrum.This algorithm has low complexity and is easy to implement.The validity of the algorithm is verified by theoretical derivation and experiments.

    The covariance intersection algorithm is a distributed fusion estimation method obtained by optimizing certain objective functions, which provides a new idea for image fusion enhancement.An image fusion method based on the Covariance Intersection(CI) algorithm and the local gradient extrema based Bidimensional Empirical Mode Decomposition(BEMD) is proposed.To overcome the inadequacy of traditional BEMD in obtaining image details and to include more detailed structure features in the image, according to the strong ability of the gradient to mine the detailed information of the image, local gradient extrema are selected by using four two-dimensional extremum conditions.Then, empirical mode decomposition of the image is carried out and the IMF is determined.Then, the one-dimensional covariance intersection algorithm is extended to 2D signals and image fusion.The optimal linear weighting matrix is computed by minimizing the F-norm of the 2D covariance intersection matrix of each IMF.The enhanced fusion image is obtained by using inverse reconstruction.The simulation results show that, compared with the traditional image fusion algorithm, the proposed method has stronger detail capture ability and better clarity.

    In the multi-target tracking process of networked radars, reasonable allocation of radar beams and power resources can further improve the working efficiency of the radar. In order to reasonably allocate radar beam resources, a networked radar resource allocation algorithm based on passive sensor coordination is proposed.The algorithm preferentially uses passive sensors to track targets, compares the predicted target covariance with the covariance threshold, and uses radar to track the targets whose covariance is larger than the threshold. At the same time, according to the targets threat degree to each radar, the target to be tracked is adaptively assigned to the radar, and the Bayesian Cramer-Rao Lower Boundary (BCRLB) trace is used as the cost function to construct a model to predict the optimal power assignment of each radar. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively optimize radar resources and has better tracking performance.

    A Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) target recognition method in multi-view SAR images is proposed in consideration of both independency and correlation.Due to the azimuth sensitivity of SAR images, the correlations among the multi-view SAR images for recognition are not stable enough.Therefore, the multi-view SAR images are first clustered into several sets based on image correlation.Images in each set share relatively high correlations.Afterwards, Joint Sparse Representation (JSR) is employed to jointly reconstruct the multi-view SAR images in each view set and produces the reconstruction errors with high precision.Finally, the linear weighting strategy is used to fuse the reconstruction errors from different view sets to determine the target label.Experiment tests are carried out on the MSTAR dataset.The results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.

    Aerial Moving Target Indication (AMTI) carried out by the space-based early warning radar has great significance in military applications.However, when confronted with severe range ambiguities and Doppler ambiguities, the conventional Linear Frequency Modulation (LFM) waveform has low data search rate, few coherent pulses, and weak clutter-suppression and anti-jamming capabilities.In this paper, the design requirements of the synthetic wideband waveform for space-based AMTI radar detection at near, middle and far range are researched on the basis of the American project known as L-band Lightweight Space Based Radar (LLSBR).The simulation results of synthetic wideband signal processing show that the synthetic wideband waveform has excellent performance in the detection of high-speed weak aerial targets for space-based AMTI radars.

    Deu to the distinctive flight characteristics of high-performance aircrafts, the models have strong non-linearity and the parameters have strong coupling, which brings a challenge to the design of flight controllers.When designing the controller of the nonlinear system, the traditional method of sliding mode control has the advantages of easy implementation and strong robustness, but the chattering of system states is likely to appear, which may weaken the efficiency of the controller.To solve the above problems, a sliding mode controller with unidirectional auxiliary surface based on the fast double-power reaching law is proposed, and the conditions of convergence are proved.The longitudinal model of the aircraft is divided into four control loops, which are the loops of altitude, velocity, attitude angle and angular speed of attitude, and the controller for each loop is designed respectively.Simulation results show that the proposed design method of flight controllers can effectively control the longitudinal state of the aircraft, and can effectively suppress the chattering.
