Abstract
Ground-based synthetic aperture radar (GBSAR) is widely used in mountains, mines, and other areas because it can get the sub-millimeter deformation information of monitoring scenes. This technology plays a vital role in safeguarding production operations, providing accurate disaster projections, and facilitating timely early warning dissemination. However, the moving target’s defocus/displaced signal will mask the image of GBSAR, which affects the accuracy of deformation inversion. Hence, the detection of moving targets in GBSAR imagery is essential. An algorithm for moving target detection based on refocusing is proposed in this paper to address this problem. The algorithm establishes a two-dimensional parameter search space for squint angle and relative speed. Based on the parameter searching, the improved Range Doppler (RD) algorithm is used for refocusing. The optimal 2D parameters are searched via an algorithm combining the entropy minimization principle and the enlightend search. The presence of a moving target in the observation area is determined based on whether there is an optimal parameter to minimize the entropy value of the refocused image. This approach enables the detection of moving targets in GBSAR imagery. The proposed method is verified by the synthetic data.
