近期,计算机辅助设计模型与电磁仿真被用于生成合成合成孔径雷达(SAR)数据以支持深度学习。然而,当使用合成数据时,自动目标识别(ATR)模型易受域偏移影响,因模型会学习到合成数据中的特定杂波模式,导致在实测数据上性能下降,而实测数据的杂波分布不同。本文提出专为域泛化SAR-ATR设计的IRASNet框架,实现有效的特征级杂波抑制与域不变特征学习。首先,提出杂波抑制模块(CRM),通过最大化特征图上的信杂比来降低杂波影响,同时保留目标和阴影信息。其次,将对抗学习与CRM结合,无需实测数据即可提取杂波抑制的域不变特征。第三,通过掩码真值编码的定位监督任务,提升对目标与阴影区域的特征提取能力。实验表明,IRASNet在多个公开SAR数据集上取得新最优性能,充分利用目标与阴影信息,在多种测试条件下均表现优异。该方法不仅显著提升泛化性能,还大幅改善特征级杂波抑制效果,是雷达图像模式识别领域的关键进展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recently, computer-aided design models and electromagnetic simulations have been used to augment synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data for deep learning. However, an automatic target recognition (ATR) model struggles with domain shift when using synthetic data because the model learns specific clutter patterns present in such data, which disturbs performance when applied to measured data with different clutter distributions. This study proposes a framework particularly designed for domain-generalized SAR-ATR called IRASNet, enabling effective feature-level clutter reduction and domain-invariant feature learning. First, we propose a clutter reduction module (CRM) that maximizes the signal-to-clutter ratio on feature maps. The module reduces the impact of clutter at the feature level while preserving target and shadow information, thereby improving ATR performance. Second, we integrate adversarial learning with CRM to extract clutter-reduced domain-invariant features. The integration bridges the gap between synthetic and measured datasets without requiring measured data during training. Third, we improve feature extraction from target and shadow regions by implementing a positional supervision task using mask ground truth encoding. The improvement enhances the ability of the model to discriminate between classes. Our proposed IRASNet presents new state-of-the-art public SAR datasets utilizing target and shadow information to achieve superior performance across various test conditions. IRASNet not only enhances generalization performance but also significantly improves feature-level clutter reduction, making it a valuable advancement in the field of radar image pattern recognition.
