With the development of science and technology, neural networks, as an effective tool in image processing, play an important role in gradual remote-sensing image-processing. However, the training of neural networks requires a large sample database. Therefore, expanding datasets with limited samples has gradually become a research hotspot. The emergence of the generative adversarial network (GAN) provides new ideas for data expansion. Traditional GANs either require a large number of input data, or lack detail in the pictures generated. In this paper, we modify a shuffle attention network and introduce it into GAN to generate higher quality pictures with limited inputs. In addition, we improved the existing resize method and proposed an equal stretch resize method to solve the problem of image distortion caused by different input sizes. In the experiment, we also embed the newly proposed coordinate attention (CA) module into the backbone network as a control test. Qualitative indexes and six quantitative evaluation indexes were used to evaluate the experimental results, which show that, compared with other GANs used for picture generation, the modified Shuffle Attention GAN proposed in this paper can generate more refined and high-quality diversified aircraft pictures with more detailed features of the object under limited datasets.
