Abstract

A novel insect body length extraction method is proposed based on the invariant target parameters of the insect polarization scattering matrix (PSM). Two eigenvalues of the insect Graves power matrix are invariant target parameters, which are related directly to the target's geometrical properties and independent of the target orientation and the type of radar illumination. In this paper, the physical meaning of the eigenvalues is first studied. Then, the relation between the insect body length and the eigenvalues is found based on the 168 insect specimens measured by the X-band rotating linear polarization radar. Finally, the empirical formula for extracting the insect body length is built, which can achieve high-accuracy body length extraction.
