    Spaceborne Sar Imaging Center Calibration Using Space-Ground Cooperative Approach

    • 星载合成孔径雷达(SAR)聚束模式具有高分辨率、窄幅宽特性,这要求成像中心与地面规划结果严格匹配,以保障任务成功执行。采用聚束模式对大范围区域成像时,需通过多轨多次成像以满足覆盖需求,同时维持严格的图像重叠率,为后续拼接或立体测绘提供支撑。成像中心即便微小偏离,也会导致重叠率不足或图像出现缝隙,迫使卫星执行大量补拍操作,显著降低SAR卫星的作业效率与经济性。成像中心偏差受轨道外推误差、星敏感器安装误差及载荷安装误差的综合影响。传统几何定标方法依赖拍摄地面控制点,主要解决几何定位问题,对成像中心偏差的校正效果有限。为满足大范围聚束成像的高精度定位需求,提出一种星地协同校正方法,星上系统采用自主轨道预报算法,融合GNSS实时定位数据与J2摄动模型抑制轨道递推误差,通过二分搜索算法高效确定成像中心时刻,实时更新斜距、入射角等关键参数;地面系统基于L2级产品,利用递推最小二乘拟合技术反演星敏感器校正矩阵,补偿SAR天线与星敏感器间的系统性安装偏差。神启号C频段轻小型商业SAR卫星的试验验证显示,该方法在连续100次聚束成像任务中,将成像中心平均偏移量从800 m降至100 m以内,有效减少补拍需求并提升数据获取效率。

       

      Abstract: The spaceborne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) spotlight mode is characterized by high resolution and narrow swath width, which requires strict matching between the imaging center and the ground planning results to ensure the successful execution of the mission. When imaging large-scale areas in spotlight mode, multi-orbit and multi-pass imaging is needed to meet coverage requirements while maintaining a strict image overlap rate, providing support for subsequent mosaicking or stereo mapping. Even a slight deviation of the imaging center will lead to insufficient overlap rate or gaps in images, forcing the satellite to perform a large number of supplementary imaging operations and significantly reducing the operational efficiency and economy of the SAR satellite. The deviation of the imaging center is comprehensively affected by orbit extrapolation errors, star sensor installation errors, and payload installation errors. Traditional geometric calibration methods rely on capturing ground control points, mainly solving geometric positioning problems, but their correction effect on imaging center deviation is limited. To meet the high-precision positioning requirements of large-scale spotlight imaging, a satellite-ground collaborative calibration method is proposed: the on-board system adopts an autonomous orbit prediction algorithm, fuses GNSS real-time positioning data with the J2 perturbation model to suppress orbit propagation errors, efficiently determines the imaging center time through a binary search algorithm, and updates key parameters such as slant range and incident angle in real time; The ground system, based on Level-2 products, uses recursive least squares fitting technology to invert the star sensor calibration matrix, compensating for the systematic installation deviation between the SAR antenna and the star sensor. Experimental verification on the Shenqi C-band lightweight commercial SAR satellite shows that in 100 consecutive spotlight imaging missions, this method reduces the average offset of the imaging center from 800 meters to within 100 meters, effectively reducing the need for supplementary imaging and improving data acquisition efficiency.
