Multiview synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images contain much richer information for automatic target recognition (ATR) than a single-view one. It is desirable to establish a reasonable multiview ATR scheme and design effective ATR algorithm to thoroughly learn and extract that classification information, so that superior SAR ATR performance can be achieved. Hence, a general processing framework applicable for a multiview SAR ATR pattern is first given in this paper, which can provide an effective approach to ATR system design. Then, a new ATR method using a multiview deep feature learning network is designed based on the proposed multiview ATR framework. The proposed neural network is with a multiple input parallel topology and some distinct deep feature learning modules, with which significant classification features, the intra-view and inter-view features existing in the input multiview SAR images, will be learned simultaneously and thoroughly. Therefore, the proposed multiview deep feature learning network can achieve an excellent SAR ATR performance. Experimental results have shown the superiorities of the proposed multiview SAR ATR method under various operating conditions.

In recent years, the technological advances leading to the production of high-resolution Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images has enabled more and more effective target recognition capabilities. However, high spatial resolution is not always achievable, and, for some particular sensing modes, such as Foliage Penetrating Radars, low resolution imaging is often the only option. In this paper, the problem of automatic target recognition in Low Resolution Foliage Penetrating (FOPEN) SAR is addressed through the use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) able to extract both low and high level features of the imaged targets. Additionally, to address the issue of limited dataset size, Generative Adversarial Networks are used to enlarge the training set. Finally, a Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC)-based post-classification decision approach is used to reduce classification errors and measure the capability of the classifier to provide a reliable output. The effectiveness of the proposed framework is demonstrated through the use of real SAR FOPEN data.

In recent years, fuzzy identification based on system identification theory has become a hot academic topic. Interval type-2 fuzzy logic systems (IT2 FLSs) have become a rising technology. This paper designs a type of Nagar-Bardini (NB) structure-based singleton IT2 FLSs for fuzzy identification problems. The antecedents of primary membership functions of IT2 FLSs are chosen as Gaussian type-2 primary membership functions with uncertain standard deviations. Then, the back propagation algorithms are used to tune the parameters of IT2 FLSs according to the chain rule of derivation. Compared with the type-1 fuzzy logic systems, simulation studies show that the proposed IT2 FLSs can obtain better abilities of generalization for fuzzy identification problems.
