Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of image processing, and further relates to a method for robust recognition of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) target deformation, which can be used to improve the information perception ability of existing ISAR systems. Background Art

[0002] Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) has been widely used in fields such as automatic target recognition (ATR) of non-cooperative targets in the air / space due to its advantages of all-weather, all-day, long operating range, and high resolution. With the rapid development of deep learning, a large number of methods have been successfully applied to automatic target recognition based on optical and synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. However, most of the existing recognition methods based on two-dimensional high-resolution ISAR images use real ISAR images and ignore the recognizable features contained in the original complex images. In addition, during ISAR imaging, a high-resolution range profile (HRRP) sequence of the target can be obtained simultaneously, which contains important temporal features such as the distribution of scattering points and the change of backscattering coefficients. However, the existing ISAR target recognition methods discard the HRRP sequence features, resulting in limited recognition performance. At the same time, the unique imaging mechanism of ISAR causes unknown deformations such as stretching, compression, and rotation in the target image and HRRP sequence, and the existing technologies have not effectively adjusted them, making it difficult to extract robust deformation features. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study a method for robust fusion recognition of ISAR targets based on complex ISAR images and corresponding HRRP sequences.

[0003] The patent document with the application publication number CN110705508A discloses a "method for satellite recognition of ISAR images", which is a method for satellite recognition of ISAR images based on a deep convolutional neural network. It is completed in two parts. First, the image domain features of ISAR are extracted through a deep convolutional neural network, and then the classification layer is used to predict the category of the target. The main deficiencies of this method are mainly in two aspects: one is that since it only extracts features based on real images, the separable features contained in the original complex ISAR image are lost; the other is that since the influence of ISAR image deformation on recognition is not considered, the recognition rate is low.

[0004] The patent document with the application publication number CN113625227A discloses a "method for target recognition of radar high-resolution range profile based on an attention transformation network". It is completed in two parts. First, the local detailed features and global temporal information of the high-resolution range profile are extracted through an attention transformation network; then the classification layer is used to predict the target category. The main deficiencies of this method are mainly in two aspects: one is that the attention transformation network has a complex structure and a large number of parameters, and the attention calculation cost is relatively high; the other is that since the shape and structure features of the target are not utilized, the recognition rate is low. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to propose a robust ISAR target deformation recognition method based on a dual-channel fusion network in view of the deficiencies of the above-mentioned existing technologies, so as to improve the recognition rate, reduce network parameters, and lower the computational cost.

[0006] The technical idea for realizing the object of the present invention is as follows: by utilizing the two-dimensional structural information of the complex ISAR image and the fusion recognizable features of the ISAR image and the corresponding HRRP image, and at the same time, by making targeted adjustments to the stretching, rotation, and combined deformation of the target ISAR and HRRP images, the recognition rate is improved; by fully simplifying the network structure of the attention-based HRRP feature extraction network, the network parameters are reduced, and the computational cost is lowered.

[0007] According to the above idea, the implementation steps of the present invention are as follows:

[0008] (1) Generate a training set and a test set:

[0009] (1a) Obtain the echo data of the satellite, and perform high-resolution ISAR imaging on the obtained echo data by using the BP algorithm;

[0010] (1b) Set two groups of different parameters, including the pitch angle, the bandwidth accumulation angle, and the azimuth angle. According to these two groups of different parameters, divide the ISAR imaging result map into a training set and a test set, and then perform inverse Fourier transform on them to obtain the corresponding high-resolution range image HRRP training set and test set;

[0011] (2) Construct a robust ISAR target deformation recognition network:

[0012] (2a) Establish a deformation adjustment module including 5 convolutional layers, 5 pooling layers, 1 fully connected layer, a grid generator, and a sampler;

[0013] (2b) Establish a feature extraction module including a complex convolutional neural network and a horizontal stripe transformer;

[0014] (2c) Establish a feature fusion module composed of weighted fusion of the output features of the complex convolutional neural network and the horizontal stripe transformer;

[0015] (2d) Cascade the deformation adjustment module, the feature extraction module, the feature fusion module, and the existing softmax classifier to form a robust ISAR target deformation recognition network;

[0016] (3) Design the loss function of the robust ISAR target deformation recognition network:

[0017] (3a) Design a distribution calibration loss function L according to the complex convolutional neural network and the horizontal stripe transformer in (2b) Proto :

[0018]

[0019]

[0020]

[0021] Among them, and respectively represent the prototypes of the i-th type of target of the complex convolutional neural network and the horizontal stripe transformer in (2b). and respectively represent the mapped features of the j-th training sample of the complex convolutional neural network and the horizontal stripe transformer in (2b), where i, i = 1,..., 4, j, j = 1,..., N, and N is the number of training samples;

[0022] (3b) Design the loss function L of the total ISAR target deformation robust recognition network according to the distribution calibration loss function L Proto and the loss functions of different data channels: total :

[0023] L total = β1L ISAR + β2L HRRP + β3L fusion + β4L Proto

[0024] where L ISAR is the cross-entropy loss function of the complex convolutional neural network in (2b), L HRRP is the cross-entropy loss function of the horizontal stripe transformer in (2b), L fusion is the cross-entropy loss function of the feature fusion module in (2c), and β1, β2, β3, and β4 are four weighted parameters with different values;

[0025] (4) Input the training sets of ISAR and HRRP into the ISAR target deformation robust recognition network, and use the forward-backward propagation method to train the network until the total loss function L total reaches convergence, and obtain the trained ISAR target deformation robust recognition network;

[0026] (5) Input the test sets of ISAR and HRRP into the trained ISAR target deformation robust recognition network for testing, and obtain the classification results and recognition accuracy rates output by the network.

[0027] The present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art:

[0028] First, in the designed complex fusion network, the present invention realizes the extraction and fusion of the real and imaginary parts of the two-dimensional complex ISAR image by designing a complex convolutional neural network; by designing a distribution accuracy loss function to shorten the distance between the corresponding features of the ISAR image and the HRRP image of the same target, the effective fusion of features and the accurate identification of types can be achieved, thereby improving the recognition performance.

[0029] Secondly, since the deformation adjustment module is designed in the ISAR target deformation robust recognition network, the unknown scaling, rotation and combined deformation of the target ISAR image and HRRP sequence can be adjusted in a targeted manner by fixing the number and position of affine parameters; at the same time, since the image scaling adjustment hyperparameter is added to the deformation adjustment module to limit the scaling adjustment range, the loss of target boundary information is avoided, the robustness of the model for target feature extraction is enhanced, and the recognition rate is improved.

[0030] Third, the present invention designs a horizontal stripe transformer module in the ISAR target deformation robust recognition network to realize the feature extraction of the HRRP sequence, and captures the lateral attention features of the HRRP sequence by dividing the input image into narrower strips in the horizontal direction. Therefore, the problem of too many parameters caused by the existing method performing attention calculation on the entire input image is avoided, the computational cost is effectively reduced, and the recognition performance is further improved.
