SED-FOD: Scattering-Aware Expert Decomposition for Few-Shot Cross-Sensor SAR Object Detection

- 将特征分解为共享路径与多个散射特异性专家路径。
- 在四种异构数据集上少样本测试中均超越现有方法。
- 适合解决传感器差异大、标注数据少的遥感目标检测问题。
合成孔径雷达(SAR)目标检测是遥感解译的重要环节。然而,由于频段、分辨率、背景杂波及目标散射特性差异,现有检测器在跨传感器场景下性能显著下降。尽管域适应方法有潜力解决此问题,但多数方法聚焦于域不变特征对齐,忽略了对目标检测有用的传感器依赖散射特征。这一问题在少样本场景下尤为严峻——仅少数标注的靶域SAR图像可用。为此,本文提出一种散射感知的共享-特定特征分解框架,用于少样本SAR域适应目标检测。该方法将检测特征分解为共享路径与若干软门控的散射特定专家路径:共享路径学习可迁移的目标结构信息,用于非对称域对齐;散射特定专家则自适应补偿异构SAR响应。此外,引入路由域辅助损失以促进专家捕捉传感器特异性路由偏好,并使用专家平衡损失防止路由坍缩。在FARAD-X/FARAD-Ka与MiniSAR之间的四组双向异构SAR检测任务上进行了广泛实验,不同少样本设置下结果表明,所提方法在正向与反向适应方向均取得更优性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) object detection is an important part of remote sensing interpretation. However, because of variations in frequency band, resolution, background clutter, and target scattering responses, the performance of existing detectors often degrades when training and testing data are acquired from different SAR domains. Although domain adaptation methods offer a promising paradigm for solving this problem, most of them mainly pursue domain-invariant feature alignment and suppress sensor-dependent scattering characteristics that are useful for object detection. This problem becomes more challenging in few-shot scenarios, where only a few fully annotated target-domain SAR images are available. To address this issue, we propose a scattering-aware shared-specific feature decomposition framework for few-shot SAR domain adaptation object detection. We decompose detection features into a shared path and several soft-gated scattering-specific expert paths. The shared path learns transferable object structural information and is used for asymmetric domain alignment, while the scattering-specific experts adaptively compensate heterogeneous SAR responses. In addition, routing-domain auxiliary loss is introduced to encourage specific experts to capture sensor-dependent routing preferences, and an expert balancing loss is used to prevent routing collapse. Extensive experiments on four bidirectional heterogeneous SAR detection tasks between FARAD-X/FARAD-Ka and MiniSAR under different few-shot settings have been conducted and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method achieves superior performance in both forward and reverse adaptation directions.
