Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of signal processing, and particularly relates to a small sample radiation source open set individual identification method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Radiation source individual identification and fine analysis are key tasks of cognitive electronic warfare. In the face of increasingly complex electromagnetic background and non-cooperative strong confrontation battlefield environment, the traditional radiation source individual identification method has insufficient reliability and cannot meet the actual needs; although the artificial intelligence method such as deep learning has achieved certain results, it is driven by big data and contradicts the small sample reality in actual engineering. In addition, previous radiation source research is all based on a closed set assumption, that is, the radiation source types to be identified have all appeared in the training samples. In actual classification tasks, especially in non-cooperative scenarios, sample collection becomes particularly difficult, and in most cases, the collected sample set will far fail to cover all radiation source categories, and the closed set assumption will no longer hold. Therefore, the radiation source open set individual identification technology under the condition of small samples not only needs to correctly process data, but also needs to reject unknown samples while correctly realizing known category identification, and is more meaningful to research.

[0003] The existing method has the following deficiencies:

[0004] 1. The traditional radiation source individual identification method has insufficient reliability

[0005] In the face of complex electromagnetic background and non-cooperative strong confrontation environment, the traditional method is difficult to meet the actual needs.

[0006] 2. The deep learning method has poor adaptability to small samples

[0007] Deep learning relies on a large amount of labeled data, which contradicts the "small sample" condition in actual engineering.

[0008] 3. The closed set assumption does not conform to the actual application scenario

[0009] Most existing research is based on the "closed set assumption", that is, the training samples cover all the categories to be identified; however, in a non-cooperative scenario, sample collection is difficult and it is difficult to cover all radiation source categories, and the closed set assumption does not hold.

[0010] 4. The pure data-driven method has weak discrimination ability for unknown samples

[0011] When facing categories that have not appeared before (out-of-distribution samples), there is a lack of clear and stable decision basis, and the open set identification ability is limited.

[0012] 5. Lack of fusion mechanism combining semantic features and physical fingerprints

[0013] The existing method fails to effectively combine the semantic features extracted by deep learning and the fingerprint features with clear physical meaning, limiting the reliability and interpretability of open set identification. SUMMARY

[0014] The present application aims to provide a small sample radiation source individual open set identification method to solve the above technical problems.

[0015] To solve the above technical problems, the specific technical scheme of a small sample radiation source individual open set identification method of the present application is as follows:

[0016] A small sample radiation source individual open set identification method, comprising the following steps:

[0017] Step 1: Obtain the complex baseband IQ signals of different radiation source individuals, and construct the training set, validation set, and test set for closed set identification, and the test set for open set identification;

[0018] Step 2: Construct a deep fusion network and use a "freeze-fine-tune" progressive strategy to train the deep fusion network;

[0019] Step 3: Extract physical layer fingerprint features from the IQ signals, and construct a Mahalanobis distance model based on known class samples to set a classification threshold;

[0020] Step 4: Input the radiation source IQ signals into the trained deep fusion network, and input the physical fingerprint extracted from the radiation source IQ signals into the Mahalanobis distance model, and obtain the deep learning neural network classification confidence and the Mahalanobis distance criterion confidence state and distance ratio in parallel;

[0021] Step 5: According to the combination of the deep fusion network confidence and the Mahalanobis distance criterion, perform a refined fusion decision, and output the final open set identification result.

[0022] Further, the deep fusion network of step 2 comprises a CNN front-end processing module, a projection module, a BERT module, and a classification head module, wherein the CNN front-end processing module is used to extract local space-time features from the IQ signals, which are composed of multiple one-dimensional convolution, batch normalization, ReLU activation, and pooling layers; the projection module is used for data dimension matching; the BERT module is a semantic pre-training model of Transformer architecture, which uses the powerful sequence modeling capability of the pre-trained BERT model to further enhance the context representation of the features; the classification head module is composed of an adaptive pooling layer and multiple fully connected layers, which outputs the confidence score of each known class.

[0023] Further, the "freeze-fine-tune" progressive strategy of step 2 comprises two stages:

[0024] Phase one: freeze all ownership values of the BERT module, only train the CNN front-end processing module, projection module, and classification head module, when the recognition accuracy of the model on the closed set data validation set exceeds the preset threshold , the training is terminated; if the threshold is not reached , phase two is entered;

[0025] Phase two: unfreeze the last two layers of network weights of the BERT module, and fine-tune the entire network using a hierarchical learning rate strategy to enable the model to learn more fine-grained features.

[0026] Further, the physical layer fingerprint features of step 3 include IQ imbalance, carrier frequency offset, phase noise features, amplitude distortion, inter-symbol interference features, instantaneous phase features, and instantaneous amplitude features.

[0027] Further, the Mahalanobis distance model construction of step 3 includes standardizing the physical layer fingerprint features of known category samples, calculating the mean vector and covariance matrix of each known category, and performing regularization processing on the covariance matrix, and finally setting a Mahalanobis distance threshold for each category based on the chi-square distribution.

[0028] Further, the deep learning classification confidence of step 4 is the maximum probability value of the output layer of the deep fusion network after Softmax function processing; the Mahalanobis distance decision result is: calculating the Mahalanobis distance of the physical layer fingerprint features of the to-be-tested sample to each known category, if the minimum distance is less than the threshold value of the corresponding category, it is determined as the corresponding known category, otherwise it is determined as an unknown category; the distance ratio is the ratio of the minimum Mahalanobis distance to the threshold value of the corresponding category.

[0029] Further, the fusion decision of step 5 is:

[0030] a) if the deep learning classification confidence is greater than a first threshold value, and the Mahalanobis distance decision result is a known category, the final decision is the known category corresponding to the deep learning classification result; b) if the deep learning classification confidence is greater than the first threshold value, and the Mahalanobis distance decision result is an unknown category, further judge the distance ratio: if the distance ratio is less than a second threshold value, the final decision is the known category corresponding to the deep learning classification result; otherwise, the final decision is an unknown category; c) if the deep learning classification confidence is less than the first threshold value, and the Mahalanobis distance decision result is a known category, the final decision is the known category corresponding to the Mahalanobis distance decision result; d) if the deep learning classification confidence is less than the first threshold value, and the Mahalanobis distance decision result is an unknown category, the final decision is an unknown category.

[0031] The small sample radiation source individual open set identification method has the following advantages:

[0032] High-precision closed set classification: through the fusion of CNN and pre-trained BERT semantic model and the progressive training strategy, high-precision differentiation between known classes can still be realized under the condition of small samples; stable and reliable open set recognition: the Mahalanobis distance is based on the signal physical layer feature, and is more sensitive to the change of unknown classes, and has high stability; intelligent decision fusion: the fusion strategy proposed can effectively combine the closed set classification ability of deep learning and the distribution out-of-distribution open set detection ability of the Mahalanobis distance, and check each other, thereby significantly reducing the probability of misjudgment of known classes and the probability of missing judgment of unknown classes; strong engineering practicability: the whole system does not need a complex model training process, and the process is clear, easy to realize and deploy.

[0039] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present application, the small sample radiation source individual open set recognition method of the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings.

[0040] In recent years, the pre-training large model technology taking the Transformer architecture as the core provides a new idea for solving the small sample problem. The basic knowledge and powerful context learning ability obtained by pre-training the model on a large amount of unlabeled data can be efficiently adapted to the downstream task through transfer learning. The introduction of the model into the field of radiation source recognition can effectively overcome the dependence of traditional deep learning on large-scale labeled signals, and realize stable migration from "small sample" to "high precision". In addition, the core self-attention mechanism can perform global perception and dependency modeling on the signal sequence, thereby capturing long-distance time sequence features and deep semantic information that are difficult to learn by traditional convolutional networks, and providing more robust feature representation for individual recognition.

[0041] Meanwhile, the hardware defects contained in the radiation source signal, such as power amplifier nonlinearity, crystal oscillator deviation, etc., will show unique physical layer fingerprint characteristics (such as phase noise, frequency offset, IQ imbalance, etc.). These characteristics are strongly related to specific individuals, and have distinguishable distribution rules between different categories, which are also important features for radiation source individual identification. Such physical fingerprint characteristics have clear statistical physical meaning and distribution characteristics, and are not sensitive to model structure changes, with high stability. Therefore, in the open set identification task, the physical fingerprint provides a stable and interpretable measurement benchmark for defining "known" and "unknown" samples, effectively making up for the inherent defect of pure data-driven methods in the face of out-of-distribution samples.

[0042] In view of the above analysis, in order to solve the problem of small sample radiation source individual open set identification, the present application proposes a small sample radiation source individual open set identification method fusing pre-training semantic model and physical fingerprint Mahalanobis distance. The former ensures the discrimination accuracy in the known category space, and the latter uses the compact distribution of known classes in the physical feature space to effectively define the unknown samples in the open space. This multi-dimensional and cross-level fusion strategy lays a theoretical foundation for building a robust and reliable open set identification system.

[0043] The core technology of the present application has two parts: first, for the problem of small sample and feature extraction, a deep semantic feature extraction network based on transfer learning is constructed, which fully utilizes the strong generalization ability and global context modeling ability of the pre-training semantic model under the condition of small sample, realizes the learning of robust and discriminative deep feature representation from limited samples through the progressive two-stage fine-tuning strategy; second, for the open set identification problem, a dual-flow decision framework is constructed by fusing physical layer fingerprint and deep semantic feature, which accurately measures the distribution consistency of the to-be-measured sample and the known class in the physical feature space through Mahalanobis distance, and designs a set of refined fusion rules to make collaborative decision on the classification confidence of the deep network and the distribution discrimination result of the physical fingerprint, finally realizes the high reliability of the open set identification.

[0044] The present application proposes a small sample radiation source individual open set identification method fusing pre-training semantic model and physical fingerprint Mahalanobis distance, the flow chart is as shown in Figure 1 , and the system block diagram is as shown in Figure 2 . Based on the problems of small sample learning difficulty and open set identification risk existing in the current radiation source individual identification, it is proposed to fully tap the generalization ability of the pre-training model through the progressive training strategy to cope with the small sample challenge, and to construct a dual-channel feature processing framework, and to realize accurate identification by using deep semantic features and physical layer fingerprint features. In addition, based on the idea of multi-source information fusion, through the collaborative decision of deep learning confidence and Mahalanobis distance distribution criterion, accurate classification of known categories and effective rejection of unknown categories are realized, which significantly improves the reliability of open set identification.

[0045] Step 1: Obtain the complex baseband IQ signals of different radiation source individuals, construct the training set, validation set and test set for closed set identification, and the test set for open set identification.

[0046] The complex baseband IQ signal is represented as:

[0047] (1)

[0048] wherein represents the signal length, represents the co-directional component, represents the orthogonal component represents the imaginary unit.

[0049] Step 2: Construct a deep fusion network and use a “frozen-fine-tuning” progressive strategy to train the deep fusion network.

[0050] The deep fusion network structure mainly includes four modules: a CNN front-end processing module, a projection module, a BERT module, and a classification head module. The CNN front-end processing module is used to extract local space-time features from the IQ signal, which is composed of multiple one-dimensional convolution, batch normalization, ReLU activation and pooling layers; the projection module is used for data dimension matching; the BERT module is a semantic pre-training model of the Transformer architecture, which uses the powerful sequence modeling ability of the pre-trained BERT model to further enhance the context representation of the features; and the classification head module is composed of an adaptive pooling layer and multiple fully connected layers, which outputs the confidence score of each known class.

[0051] The network input is complex baseband IQ dual-channel data, represented as:

[0052] (2)

[0053] The network structure of the CNN front-end processing module is shown in Table 1.

[0054] Table 1 CNN front-end processing network table

[0055]

[0056] wherein batch_size is the training batch size, seq_len is the sequence length, and batch_size can be set to 32, but a person skilled in the art can adjust this value according to actual needs. In addition, the deep fusion network uses a one-dimensional adaptive average pooling layer (AdaptiveAvgPool1d(16)), which has a fixed output of 16 feature points, so the input length is robust.

[0057] Then, the output sequence is dimension transposed for subsequent processing, i.e., the [batch_size, 256, 16] dimension is transposed to [batch_size, 16, 256], and then input to the projection module.

[0058] The network structure of the projection module is shown in Table 2.

[0060]

[0061] where hidden_size is the hidden layer dimension, which is fixed at 768.

[0062] The BERT module adopts the pre-training weights and configuration parameters of the open source model bert-base-cased, has 12 layers, 12 self-attention heads, and the attention mask dimension is [batch_size, 16], and the input and output dimensions are both [batch_size, 16, hidden_size], but the skilled person in the art can adjust the adopted Transformer architecture semantic pre-training model according to actual needs.

[0063] Then, the output sequence is dimension transposed for subsequent processing, i.e., the [batch_size, hidden_size, 16]

[0064] dimension is transposed to [batch_size, hidden_size, 16], and then input to the classification head module.

[0065] The network structure of the classification head module is shown in Table 3.

[0068] where num_classes is the total number of classes of the radiation source individuals.

[0069] The progressive strategy of the deep fusion network "freeze-fine-tune" includes two stages:

[0070] Stage one: freeze all weights of the BERT module, and only train the CNN front-end processing module, the projection module, and the classification head module, so that the model quickly learns the basic features of the signal. In this stage, the CNN learning rate can be set to 1e-3. When the recognition accuracy of the model on the closed set data validation set exceeds the pre-set threshold , the training is terminated; if the threshold is not reached, stage two is entered;

[0071] Phase two: unfreeze the last two layers of the BERT module, and use a hierarchical learning rate strategy to fine-tune the entire network, so that the model learns more fine-grained features. Among them, the BERT layer can use a low learning rate of 1e-5 to stabilize its pre-training features, the CNN layer can use a medium learning rate of 5e-4, and the classification head can keep a learning rate of 1e-3.

[0072] The above progressive strategy can guide the model to learn the fine-grained features of the radiation source signal without disturbing the existing knowledge of BERT. Among them, the values of each learning rate can be adjusted by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

After corresponding feature extraction, the deep fusion network and the Mahalanobis distance model are inputted to obtain the deep confidence score, the Mahalanobis distance decision result and the distance ratio.

[0189] 5: The decision results of the two models are fused for fine decision, to obtain the open set recognition result, specifically as follows:

[0190] The deep classification score confidence threshold of the neural network is set to 0.8, and the confidence distance ratio threshold is set to 3.0, to obtain the final fused decision open set recognition result.

[0191] In this embodiment, the openness is introduced to describe the open set recognition difficulty under different experimental conditions, and is expressed as:

[0192] (42)

[0193] Wherein, n represents the number of classes that will appear in training; represents the number of classes that will appear in testing. The greater the openness value, the greater the challenge of the open set recognition task to the robustness of the algorithm. In addition, the present embodiment is compared with a plurality of commonly used open set recognition methods, specifically: a SoftMax-T method based on threshold setting; an OpenMax method based on fitting of the extreme value of the centroid distance; an M-OSR method using Mahalanobis distance for open set recognition alone; a D-Score method based on the difference between the maximum classification score and the second largest classification score for model construction and threshold judgment of open set recognition; and a small sample radiation source individual open set recognition method fusing a pre-trained semantic model and a physical fingerprint Mahalanobis distance, which is the method proposed in the present application.

[0194]

[0195] ​The open set recognition results are shown in Table 4. In order to compare the rationality of the experiment, the same deep fusion network is used in each method, which is a BERT backbone network, different data is selected for each openness, and the optimal threshold for comprehensive recognition is selected. The closed set recognition rate is the proportion of samples in the known class in the test set that are recognized correctly, the open set recognition rate is the proportion of samples in the unknown class in the test set that are recognized correctly, and the comprehensive recognition rate is the proportion of samples that are recognized correctly in the total samples.

[0198] The experimental results show that under different openness conditions, the method of the present application maintains excellent closed set recognition ability while achieving effective open set recognition, and the comprehensive performance is always better than that of the comparison method. In addition, as shown in Table 5, the present application and other algorithms are compared with the number of training samples as a variable. It can be seen that under the condition of small samples, the method of the present application still obtains the optimal performance, has training sample robustness, and can better alleviate the small sample problem in the radiation source recognition.

[0199] The open set recognition confusion matrix under the condition of 0.106 openness is shown in Table 6. Figure 6

[0200] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the present application. Any simple modification, change and equivalent change of the above embodiment according to the technical essence of the present application still belongs to the protection scope of the technical solution of the present application.​​
