摘要: 随着深度学习在计算机视觉领域取得令人鼓舞的成果,基于深度学习技术实现对合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar, SAR)图像中时敏目标的分类识别已成为可能,实测SAR图像中时敏目标自动识别应用再次吸引了全球广大学者的目光。受客观条件所限,高质量实测SAR目标样本切片的获取代价大、成本高、数量少,且SAR对成像参数和目标姿态敏感,导致SAR图像面临的少样本条件下的目标识别问题更为突出。本文深度挖掘MSTAR(Moving and Stationary Target Acquisition and Recognition)数据集的目标识别潜力,针对10类SAR图像车辆目标分类识别潜能进行了研究和分析。为衡量不同样本数量条件下SAR目标识别潜能,同时降低对目标样本选取的随机性,提出利用不同数量实测训练样本,生成全角度训练数据集,对参与训练的样本进行规范化和合理化采样处理;将全角度扩充后得到的训练样本集作为标准模板数据集,通过遍历模板数据集,采用似然比相似性度量(Likelihood Ratio Similarity Measure, LiRSM)来衡量目标相似性,利用SAR图像的灰度统计特性,基于变化检测技术构建变化检测量,实现SAR车辆目标的分类识别;基于MSTAR数据集,深入开展了10-Way-N-Shot的少样本条件下的SAR车辆目标分类识别问题研究,并通过试验对比形成性能基准,方便其他学者在该数据集中进一步开展少样本条件下目标识别对比分析。Abstract: With the encouraging results of deep learning in the field of computer vision, it is possible to realize recognition of time-sensitive targets in SAR images based on deep learning technology. The recognition of time-sensitive targets with SAR images has attracted a lot of attentions. Limited by objective conditions, the cost of high-quality SAR target samples acquisition is high. In addition, SAR system is very sensitive to imaging parameters and target attitude, which makes the target recognition under the condition of small samples more difficult. The target recognition potential of MSTAR dataset is deeply excavated in this paper, and the performance potential of vehicle target classification and recognition of 10 types of SAR images is fully studied and analyzed. To measure the target recognition potential of SAR under the condition of different number of samples, and at the same time reduce the randomness of selecting target samples, using different numbers of measured training samples to generate full-angle training data sets is proposed in this paper to standardize the samples participating in the training. The expanded training sample set is used as the standard template data set. By traversing the template data set, the likelihood ratio similarity measure (Likelihood Ratio Similarity Measure, LiRSM) is used to measure the target similarity. By using the gray statistical characteristics of SAR image, the change detection is constructed based on change detection technology, and realized the classification and recognition of SAR vehicle targets. Based on MSTAR dataset, the research on 10-way-N-shot target recognition is carried out by using different numbers of real SAR training samples, and the basic benchmark test is formed through experimental comparison, which is convenient for other scholars to further carry out comparative analysis of target recognition under the condition of small samples.
