深度学习在静态预设数据集上的合成孔径雷达(SAR)目标识别中取得显著进展。然而真实应用要求模型在不遗忘已有知识的前提下持续学习新信息。灾难性遗忘问题仍是关键挑战。本文提出IncSAR,一种针对SAR目标识别的增量学习框架,有效缓解该问题。IncSAR采用双分支架构,结合视觉变换器(ViT)与定制卷积神经网络(CNN),通过后期融合策略整合特征。同时引入TinyViT降低计算复杂度,并设计注意力机制动态增强特征表示。为抑制SAR图像固有的斑点噪声,采用基于神经网络近似鲁棒主成分分析(RPCA)的去噪模块,实现高效降噪。此外,随机投影层提升特征线性可分性,改进型线性判别分析(LDA)使类别原型去相关,促进泛化。在MSTAR、SAR-AIRcraft-1.0和OpenSARShip基准数据集上的大量实验表明,IncSAR显著优于现有方法,平均准确率达99.63%,性能下降仅为0.33%,相比现有技术保留能力提升89%。代码已开源。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Deep learning techniques have achieved significant success in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) target recognition using predefined datasets in static scenarios. However, real-world applications demand that models incrementally learn new information without forgetting previously acquired knowledge. The challenge of catastrophic forgetting, where models lose past knowledge when adapting to new tasks, remains a critical issue. In this paper, we introduce IncSAR, an incremental learning framework designed to tackle catastrophic forgetting in SAR target recognition. IncSAR combines the power of a Vision Transformer (ViT) and a custom-designed Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) in a dual-branch architecture, integrated via a late-fusion strategy. Additionally, we explore the use of TinyViT to reduce computational complexity and propose an attention mechanism to dynamically enhance feature representation. To mitigate the speckle noise inherent in SAR images, we employ a denoising module based on a neural network approximation of Robust Principal Component Analysis (RPCA), leveraging a simple neural network for efficient noise reduction in SAR imagery. Moreover, a random projection layer improves the linear separability of features, and a variant of Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) decorrelates extracted class prototypes for better generalization. Extensive experiments on the MSTAR, SAR-AIRcraft-1.0, and OpenSARShip benchmark datasets demonstrate that IncSAR significantly outperforms state-of-the-art approaches, achieving a 99.63\% average accuracy and a 0.33\% performance drop, representing an 89\% improvement in retention compared to existing techniques.
