Signal Processing

Background:

Remote passive drone detection is difficult due to drones being point objects with no discernible contours, especially in noisy environments.
Existing photon-counting imaging techniques have limitations in bandwidth and noise resistance for detecting small, distant objects.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a new passive single-photon dynamic imaging method for enhanced drone detection.
To overcome the challenges of background noise and point-object recognition in remote sensing.

Main Methods:

Utilized quantum compressed sensing to construct a compressive imaging system.
Leveraged the randomness of photon radiation and detection for sparse photon detection.
Captured broadband dynamic features of point objects.

Main Results:

Achieved a detectable bandwidth up to 2.05 GHz, surpassing current photon-counting imaging methods.
Demonstrated excellent noise resistance, enabling high-quality imaging with a signal-to-background ratio of 1/332.
Successfully imaged point objects in high-noise conditions.

Conclusions:

The developed passive single-photon dynamic imaging method significantly enhances drone detection capabilities.
This quantum compressed sensing approach improves the performance and applicability of single-photon imaging in real-world scenarios.
The technique offers a promising solution for remote sensing in challenging, noisy environments.
