Target recognition is one of the most challenging tasks in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image processing since it is highly affected by a series of pre-processing techniques which usually require sophisticated manipulation for different data and consume huge calculation resources. To alleviate this limitation, numerous deep-learning based target recognition methods are proposed, particularly combined with convolutional neural network (CNN) due to its strong capability of data abstraction and end-to-end structure. In this case, although complex pre-processing can be avoided, the inner mechanism of CNN is still unclear. Such a “black box” only tells a result but not what CNN learned from the input data, thus it is difficult for researchers to further analyze the causes of errors. Layer-wise relevance propagation (LRP) is a prevalent pixel-level rearrangement algorithm to visualize neural networks’ inner mechanism. LRP is usually applied in sparse auto-encoder with only fully-connected layers rather than CNN, but such network structure usually obtains much lower recognition accuracy than CNN. In this paper, we propose a novel LRP algorithm particularly designed for understanding CNN’s performance on SAR image target recognition. We provide a concise form of the correlation between output of a layer and weights of the next layer in CNNs. The proposed method can provide positive and negative contributions in input SAR images for CNN’s classification, viewed as a clear visual understanding of CNN’s recognition mechanism. Numerous experimental results demonstrate the proposed method outperforms common LRP.
