Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of radar signal processing and computer intelligence technology, and in particular to a target recognition method and device for multi-modal data fusion of a single-platform radar. Background Art

[0002] Radar Auto Target Recognition (RATR) plays an important role in national security and aviation safety. How to quickly, accurately and robustly identify air and space targets is the most important task of RATR.

[0003] In RATR tasks, the most commonly used radar signals are Radar Cross Section (RCS) and High Range Resolution Profile (HRRP). Among them, RCS data is easier to obtain in actual combat but contains less information about the target; HRRP data contains more information about the target but is difficult to measure accurately in actual combat. Therefore, how to achieve the fusion and complementarity of radar data of the two modes to improve the recognition accuracy and recognition robustness of radar target recognition tasks is an urgent problem to be solved in the RATR field at this stage.

[0004] At the same time, traditional RATR uses template matching to extract and match statistical and mathematical features in radar signals to achieve recognition of different targets. However, the recognition rate achieved by traditional methods is low. In recent years, deep learning-based methods have captured and extracted implicit features in radar signals in a data-driven manner, ultimately achieving a higher recognition rate. However, deep learning methods are less robust and do not consider the fusion recognition of cross-modal radar data. Summary of the invention

[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a target recognition method and device for single-platform radar multi-modal data fusion that can improve recognition accuracy in response to the above technical problems.

[0021] In one embodiment, each feature extraction layer includes a first normalization layer, a multi-head attention layer, a second normalization layer and a feedforward layer connected in sequence.

[0022] In one embodiment, after the coding sequence or the output data of the previous feature extraction layer is input into the feature extraction layer:

[0023] The first normalization layer uses a quasi-norm to perform layer normalization on the coding sequence or the output data of the previous feature extraction layer to obtain first output data;

[0024] In the multi-head attention layer, the first output data is linearly projected three times to obtain a query matrix, a key matrix, and a value matrix, respectively, and the three matrices are projected into multiple feature subspaces, and the attention results calculated in each subspace are concatenated to obtain the second output data;

[0025] After inputting the second output data and the encoding sequence into the second normalization layer, third output data is obtained;

[0049] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0050] In view of the problem that the existing radar automatic target recognition technology has low recognition performance, or high recognition performance but low recognition robustness, in this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a target recognition method for multi-modal data fusion of single-platform radar is proposed, including:

[0051] Step S100, acquiring radar echo data of the target to be identified, where the radar echo data is radar scattering cross-section data and a high-resolution one-dimensional range image obtained by detection by a single platform;

[0052] Step S110, preprocessing the radar echo data, dividing the preprocessed radar echo data by Monte Carlo sampling, and then encoding the subsequences obtained after the division to obtain a coded sequence;

[0053] Step S120, input the coding sequence into the trained target recognition network. In the target recognition network, a cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism extracts the fusion features of radar scattering cross-section data and high-resolution one-dimensional range image according to the coding sequence, and then the classification head classifies the target according to the fusion features to obtain the target recognition result.

[0054] In this method, firstly, based on the self-attention mechanism commonly used in natural language processing problems, a cross-domain data fusion model adapted to the RCS (Radar Cross Section) and HRRP (High Range Resolution Profile) data fusion tasks is constructed, that is, the cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism in the target recognition model mentioned above. Then, in order to enable the cross-domain data fusion model to better extract cross-modal fusion features in the future, the radar echo data input to the model is also preprocessed. At the same time, in order to make full use of the local and global correlations in radar echo data under different modes, a coding method based on uniform sampling is also designed in this method to block and encode the preprocessed RCS and HRRP data. Finally, based on the task of context prediction commonly used in natural language processing problems, the task goal of matching the target categories of RCS and HRRP data is proposed to achieve a unified representation of RCS and HRRP data on a single platform, as shown below. Figure 2 shown.

[0055] In step S100, the radar echo data includes radar scattering cross-section data and a high-resolution one-dimensional range image obtained by detecting the same target with the same radar (single platform).

[0056] In step S110, when preprocessing the radar echo data, normalization processing and center of gravity alignment processing are sequentially performed on the radar echo data to obtain preprocessed radar echo data.

[0057] Furthermore, the radar echo data is subjected to normalization and alignment processing in sequence to obtain the preprocessed radar echo data, including: before preprocessing the radar scattering cross section data in the radar echo data, the radar echo data is first subjected to amplitude processing to obtain the real part data in the radar scattering cross section data, and subsequent preprocessing is performed based on the real part data. Then, the radar echo data is processed by modulo-2 norm normalization to obtain the amplitude-normalized radar echo data, and then the amplitude-normalized radar echo data is subjected to a circular shift operation by a center alignment method so that its center is located at the center position of the range window, and the preprocessed radar echo data is obtained.

[0058] In order to effectively utilize the global and local information of RCS and HRRP data, in this embodiment, a data encoding method based on uniform sampling for radar echo data is proposed. However, before data encoding, the radar echo data needs to be preprocessed.

[0059] Radar echo data has problems of azimuth sensitivity, amplitude sensitivity and translation sensitivity, which will have a great impact on the model's extraction of robust target features. Therefore, it is necessary to perform data preprocessing on the radar echo data (RCS and HRRP data) by normalizing and aligning them to reduce the impact of echo data sensitivity.

[0060] Specifically, let HRRP data be r = [r1, r2, …, r L ] T Indicates that, where r i represents the sub-echo of the ith range unit, L represents the total number of range units, and the RCS data is y = [y1, y2, ..., y L ] T express.

[0061] Since the data type of HRRP data is in complex form, the input HRRP data is processed by taking the amplitude to obtain the real HRRP data:

[0062] x=|r|=[x1,x2,…,x L ] T . (1.)

[0063] In order to reduce the sensitivity of radar echo data to amplitude, in this embodiment, modulo-2 norm normalization is adopted to process the real radar echo data x, y to obtain amplitude-normalized HRRP data sample x norm , and the amplitude-normalized RCS data sample y norm , and their mathematical expressions are:

[0064]

[0065]

[0066] Furthermore, in order to reduce the translation sensitivity of radar echo data, in this embodiment, the center of gravity alignment method is used to align x norm With y norm Perform a circular shift operation so that its center is located at the center of the range window.

[0067] Data sample x norm With y norm The center of gravity G x With G y It can be calculated by the following formulas:

[0068]

[0069]

[0070] In formula (4) and formula (5), Respectively represent x norm With y norm Therefore, the radar echo data after centroid alignment, that is, the radar echo data after preprocessing, can be obtained, which are expressed as x aligned With y aligned .

[0071] Next, in order to enable the subsequent feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism to extract the features of the local substructure of the target, it is necessary to segment and map the radar echo data after data preprocessing and add position encoding information. The specific process can be referred to Figure 3 .

[0072] In this embodiment, after the preprocessed radar echo data is divided by Monte Carlo sampling, the subsequences obtained after the division are encoded to obtain a coded sequence, including: dividing the preprocessed radar echo data according to a preset length to obtain multiple subsequences with the same length, encoding each subsequence into subsequence coded data represented by a D-dimensional vector, adding a category prompt vector to the front end of each subsequence coded data, adding a segmentation vector to the back end, and constructing a coded sequence according to each subsequence coded data, data sequence segmentation coding, and time sequence position coding.

[0073] Specifically, let P be the preset length of each radar subsequence, and N = L / P be the number of divided radar subsequences. Therefore, the radar echo data x after centroid alignment is preprocessed. aligned With y aligned Can be divided into a combination of multiple subsequences of equal length: and where x′ align and y′ align It can be specifically expressed as:

[0074]

[0075]

[0076] In formula (15) and formula (16),

[0077] The divided subsequences can be regarded as the input radar echo sequence divided by Monte Carlo sampling, that is:

[0078]

[0079]

[0080] Then, for each subsequence after division and Encode the input and encode it into a D-dimensional vector to get the corresponding x MC,emb With y MC.emb ,Right now:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083] In formula (10) and formula (11), represents the encoder, represents the subsequence encoding, represents the encoded HRRP sample sequence, represents the subsequence encoding, Represents the encoded RCS sample sequence.

[0084] In this embodiment, a linear fully connected layer is used to encode the input sequence (multiple subsequences), and all subsequences share one input encoder. At the same time, in order to aggregate the information on each subsequence in the radar echo data without bias, a category hint vector is added before each subsequence. The radar echo data features are aggregated in the deep attention feature fusion module. The category hint vector is used to distinguish whether each subsequence belongs to RCS or HRRP. A segmentation vector is also added after each subsequence. Used to distinguish different input sequences and indicate their temporal relationship.

[0085] Furthermore, the data sequence segment code E is added to the subsequence set after the above processing. seq, providing the model with data sequence segmentation information. Secondly, in order to make full use of the spatial position relationship of the subsequences in the radar echo data, the category prompt vector, segmentation vector, x MC,emp With y MC,emb Each radar sequence subsequence in adds a learnable temporal position code E pos ,Right now:

[0086] z in =[z cls ;x MS,emb ;z sep ;y MC.emb ;z sep ]+E seq +E pos , (12)

[0087] In formula (12), Respectively represent the sequence segmentation encoding matrix and the position encoding matrix, z in It represents the output data of radar echo data after preprocessing, subsequence division and encoding, and also serves as the input of the target recognition model.

[0088] In step S120, the target recognition model includes a cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on a self-attention mechanism for extracting fusion features, and a classification head for identifying the target according to the fusion features.

[0089] Since the self-attention mechanism has excellent long-range dependency representation capabilities, it can capture local and global correlations between subsequences. In this embodiment, a cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism is proposed for the unified representation of RCS data and HRRP data.

[0090] In this embodiment, the cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism includes multiple layers of feature extraction layers connected in sequence. The encoding sequence is input into the first feature extraction layer to obtain the output data of the current layer, and then the output data of the current layer is used as the input of the next feature extraction layer, and so on, and the output data of the last feature extraction layer is used as the fusion feature.

[0091] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, each feature extraction layer includes a first normalization layer, a multi-head attention layer, a second normalization layer, and a feedforward layer connected in sequence.

[0092] Furthermore, after the output data of the coding sequence or the previous feature extraction layer is input into the feature extraction layer: the first normalization layer uses a quasi-norm to perform layer normalization on the coding sequence or the output data of the previous feature extraction layer to obtain the first output data; in the multi-head attention layer, the first output data is linearly projected three times to obtain a query matrix, a key matrix and a value matrix respectively; these three matrices are projected into multiple feature subspaces respectively, and the attention results calculated in each subspace are concatenated to obtain the second output data; the second output data and the coding sequence are input into the second normalization layer to obtain the third output data; the feedforward layer processes the third output data through two layers of fully connected multilayer perceptrons to obtain the fourth output data; finally, the current feature extraction layer or fusion feature is obtained according to the fourth output data and the second output data.

[0093] Specifically, the first normalization layer can prevent problems such as gradient vanishing and gradient explosion when the network is deep. Specifically, this algorithm uses a quasi-norm input sequence for layer normalization, which can be expressed as:

[0094]

[0095] In formula (13), The normalized output of the representation layer is the first output data or the output data of the previous feature extraction layer, z in represents the input sequence data or, LN represents the layer normalization operation.

[0096] The multi-head self-attention layer can capture the local and global relationship of the input sequence, and can enhance the model's ability to understand the fluctuations of RCS and HRRP echoes and the structural correlation between subsequences.

[0097] Specifically, the multi-head self-attention layer first outputs the first data Perform three linear projections respectively to obtain d q The query matrix Q of dimension d k The bond matrix K and d v Dimensional value matrix V, that is:

[0098]

[0099]

[0100]

[0101] In formula (14) to formula (16)

[0102] Then the obtained Q, K, and V matrices are processed through the self-attention mechanism based on cosine similarity measurement and the scaling factor The softmax function is used to calculate the attention weights between each subsequence, and the value matrix V is reweighted, and finally the output of the attention layer can be obtained:

[0103]

[0104] In order to enable the feature extractor to learn more projection modes to better adapt to the feature modes of different modal data, the multi-head self-attention layer projects the query matrix Q, key matrix K and value matrix V into multiple feature subspaces respectively, and concatenates the attention results calculated in each subspace (the calculation results of formula (17)) to obtain the final multi-head attention layer output, which is the second output data, namely:

[0105] f MSA =Concat(head1,head2,...,head M )W O , (18)

[0106] In formula (18), M represents the number of attention heads, Concat represents the concatenation operation, Represents the recovery matrix, which is used to ensure the consistency of input and output dimensions.

[0107] Afterwards, the first output data and the second output data are output to the second normalization layer to obtain the third output data, and then the third output data is input to the feedforward layer.

[0108] The feedforward layer includes a multi-layer perceptron, which can map the input features to a high-dimensional latent space, and then map the high-dimensional latent space back to the original space, thereby extracting and screening the input features.

[0109] Specifically, the specific process of the feedforward layer can be defined as:

[0110]

[0111] In formula (18), the third output data is MLP(·) denotes a multilayer perceptron with two fully connected layers.

[0112] The feature extraction layer can be expressed as:

[0113] T(z in ) = f FFN +f MSA (19)

[0114] In formula (19), T(·) represents a feature extraction layer based on the self-attention mechanism.

[0115] In this embodiment, the cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism includes multiple feature extraction layers, that is, the output of the final model can be expressed as:

[0116] T n (z in )=T(T(...T(z in ))) (20)

[0117] In formula (20), n represents the number of feature extraction layers contained in the model.

[0118] In this embodiment, when training the target recognition network, a loss function constructed based on the cross entropy formula is used.

[0119] Specifically, when training the target recognition network, RCS and HRRP sequences of random target category combinations are input, and then they are extracted and fused by a feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism. Finally, the fused features are input into the classification head to obtain the final prediction of whether RCS and HRRP belong to the same target category.

[0120] Assume that the target category of the RCS sequence is l RCS , the target category of the HRRP sequence is l HRRP , then in each batch, the sequence labels are set as:

[0121]

[0122] In formula (21), m represents the total number of sequences during training. Then, the loss function of the algorithm is constructed based on the cross entropy formula, namely:

[0123]

[0124] In formula (22), C(·) represents the classification head, which is used to output the probability of classification prediction. The learnable parameters of the target recognition network are iteratively optimized through this loss to learn the global and local structural features between RCS and HRRP data, and to achieve the matching alignment of RCS sequences and HRRP sequences.

[0125] Furthermore, the training steps of the target recognition network are as follows: first, the RCS and HRRP signals are encoded as radar echo data based on Monte Carlo sampling to obtain the corresponding encoding vector Secondly, the obtained encoding vector is input into the cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism to obtain the final fusion feature vector Finally, the obtained fused feature vector is input into the classification head of the downstream task to calculate the final loss function This is used to perform gradient updates on the learnable parameters in the overall algorithm.

[0126] When testing the trained object recognition network, first connect the trained cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism to the recognition and classification head of the downstream task and adjust the parameters (fix the fusion model parameters) in the downstream dataset. After the adjustment, fix the parameters of the cross-domain fusion feature extractor based on the self-attention mechanism and the classification head, and perform recognition tests in the downstream dataset.

[0127] In this paper, experimental simulation is also carried out according to the method in this paper, and the results are as follows Figure 5 As shown in Table 1. Figure 5 As shown in the figure, (a) represents the RCS data feature, (b) represents the HRRP data feature, (c) represents the fused data feature, and (d) represents the grayscale corresponding to each target. Compared with the original RCS and HRRP data, the fused feature vector obtained by the cross-domain data fusion model has good separability, which proves that the present invention can obtain radar signal fusion features with good characterization. As shown in Table 1, the radar signal fusion features obtained by this method can effectively improve the accuracy of downstream recognition tasks, which is about 12% higher than the original FCN method.

[0129]

[0130]

[0131] In the above-mentioned target recognition method for single-platform radar multimodal data fusion, a cross-domain data fusion model adapted to the RCS and HRRP data fusion tasks is first constructed based on the self-attention mechanism commonly used in natural language processing problems. After that, the radar echo data is preprocessed using the normalization and center of gravity alignment algorithm to eliminate the sensitivity of the echo data to azimuth, amplitude and translation. Then, in order to make full use of the local and global correlations in radar echo data under different modes, the present invention designs a coding method based on uniform sampling to block and encode the input RCS and HRRP data. Finally, based on the task of context prediction commonly used in natural language processing problems, the task goal of matching the target categories of RCS and HRRP data is proposed to achieve a unified characterization result of RCS and HRRP data on a single platform. This method can realize the feature-level fusion of RCS and HRRP signals, and the obtained fusion features have good characterization. At the same time, this method can improve the performance of the classification and recognition algorithm.
