Considering the defaults in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image feature extraction, an SAR target recognition method based on non-subsampled Shearlet transform (NSST) was proposed with application to target recognition. NSST was used to decompose an SAR image into multilevel representations. These representations were translation-invariant, and they could well reflect the dominant and detailed properties of the target. During the machine learning classification stage, the joint sparse representation was employed to jointly represent the multilevel representations. The joint sparse representation could represent individual components independently while considering the inner correlations between different components. Therefore, the precision of joint representation could be enhanced. Finally, the target label of the test sample was determined according to the overall reconstruction error. Experiments were conducted on the MSTAR dataset to examine the proposed method, and the results confirmed its validity and robustness under the standard operating condition, configuration variance, depression angle variance, and noise corruption.

Recognition Efficiency

With the continuous development of the convolutional neural network (CNN) concept and other deep learning technologies, target recognition in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images has entered a new stage. At present, shallow CNNs with simple structure are mostly applied in SAR image target recognition, even though their feature extraction ability is limited to a large extent. What’s more, research on improving SAR image target recognition efficiency and imbalanced data processing is relatively scarce. Thus, a lightweight CNN model for target recognition in SAR image is designed in this paper. First, based on visual attention mechanism, the channel attention by-pass and spatial attention by-pass are introduced to the network to enhance the feature extraction ability. Then, the depthwise separable convolution is used to replace the standard convolution to reduce the computation cost and heighten the recognition efficiency. Finally, a new weighted distance measure loss function is introduced to weaken the adverse effect of data imbalance on the recognition accuracy of minority class. A series of recognition experiments based on two open data sets of MSTAR and OpenSARShip are implemented. Experimental results show that compared with four advanced networks recently proposed, our network can greatly diminish the model size and iteration time while guaranteeing the recognition accuracy, and it can effectively alleviate the adverse effects of data imbalance on recognition results.
