Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of radar technology, specifically relating to a high-resolution one-dimensional range image target recognition method based on hierarchical fusion and dynamic feature enhancement. Background Technology

[0002] High-resolution range profile (HRRP) is a technique that uses broadband radar signals to obtain the vector sum of the projections of target scattering point echoes onto the radar's line-of-sight. By combining the time and position information of the reflected signals, a range profile is formed, reflecting the target's size, structure, and the distribution of scattering points along the range direction. It is a key technology for radar target detection. The peaks in HRRP correspond to the strong scattering centers of the target on the radar's line of sight; accurately detecting and locating these peaks is crucial for subsequent target feature extraction and identification.

[0003] Traditional HRRP feature extraction techniques are mostly based on a single dimension. Features based on statistical moments, such as variance and global entropy distribution, can reflect signal fluctuations and energy distribution. However, these techniques treat HRRP as a one-dimensional signal sequence, completely ignoring the spatial relationships between scattering points and the geometric structure of the target. Features based on shape and energy can describe the contour characteristics and energy concentration of the target, and have a certain ability to distinguish targets with different structures. However, they are extremely sensitive to noise clutter. In low signal-to-noise ratio environments, weak scattering points may be submerged by noise, leading to feature extraction failure and poor robustness. In summary, single-dimensional features can only capture local characteristics of the target and cannot form a complete and comprehensive characterization of the target's electromagnetic scattering properties, severely limiting their application in complex scenarios.

[0004] In recent years, neural networks have been increasingly used for feature extraction tasks. Currently, most HRRP target recognition methods based on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) or recurrent neural networks (RNNs) typically convert one-dimensional HRRP data into time-domain, frequency-domain, or time-frequency-domain image / sequence formats for direct processing. Against this backdrop, their practical application still faces two major core challenges: First, the high dependence on labeled data and the problem of feature consistency. Neural network training heavily relies on a large amount of accurately labeled data. However, in HRRP data, target regions are difficult to define clearly, and the HRRP data of the same target at different azimuth and elevation angles will undergo translation, scaling, and amplitude changes, resulting in highly attitude-dependent features. This makes constructing a large-scale dataset covering all attitudes with uniform labels extremely costly, or even infeasible. Second, the robustness problem in noisy and cluttered environments. In real radar environments, HRRP data typically contains abundant background clutter and other interference components. Usually, the effective echo energy of the target accounts for a low proportion of the overall signal, leading to an unbalanced data distribution. This imbalance can cause the network to focus excessively on noise and clutter features rather than target features during training, leading to ineffective learning or overfitting and a decrease in the model's generalization ability and robustness in real-world scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a high-resolution one-dimensional range profile target recognition method based on hierarchical fusion and dynamic feature enhancement. First, the original HRRP (High Resolution Range Profile) data acquired by radar is preprocessed to obtain the amplitude spectrum. Second, based on the preprocessed HRRP amplitude information, 13 target features are extracted from three key dimensions: statistical characteristics, geometric structure, and target size, achieving multi-dimensional target representation. Subsequently, a multi-feature enhancement backbone network is constructed, utilizing a deep cross-network (DCN) to mine feature combinations, and employing a dynamic gating mechanism guided by primary classification and a multi-head attention mechanism to adaptively adjust feature weights according to sample semantics. Next, the enhanced features are input into a Transformer encoder for deep sequence modeling and concatenated with the original features. Finally, a dual-head decision layer containing binary and multi-class classification is constructed, using the interference / target probability output from binary classification to perform hierarchical masking correction on the multi-class classification results, outputting the final recognition result. This invention effectively suppresses environmental interference and significantly improves the accuracy and robustness of radar target recognition through coarse-grained joint decision-making and dynamic feature enhancement.

Step 5: Map the enhanced features obtained in Step 4 into a sequence input to the Transformer backbone for deep context modeling, and concatenate the deep semantic features output by Transformer with the high-order enhanced features output in Step 4 along the channel dimension to obtain the wide-depth fusion features. Step 6: Input the width and depth fusion features obtained in Step 5 into the binary classification decision head and the multi-class classification decision head respectively; use the interference / target probability distribution output by the binary classification decision head as a soft mask to perform hierarchical weighted correction on the output probability of the multi-class classification decision head, and calculate the final target recognition result.

Specifically, it is represented as follows: Step 1.1: Obtain the original radar HRRP complex signal, convert it into an amplitude spectrum using formula (1), and perform amplitude normalization using formula (2).

[0045] Example: This embodiment verifies the method based on simulated high-resolution range image data of static targets. The experimental dataset covers five classes (class 1 – class 5) of typical HRRP data, where class 1 and class 2 belong to the "interference" category, and classes 3, 4, and 5 belong to the "target" category. Combining the radar platform's airborne motion parameters and spatiotemporal observation conditions, HRRP observation data for different scenarios are constructed, with 16,968 data sets in each class, totaling 84,840 data sets. The dataset is divided into training, validation, and test sets in a 7:2:1 ratio.

[0059] (17) in, and These are learnable weights and biases. This represents the preliminary predicted probability that the current sample belongs to one of the five subcategories. This probability is not used as the final result, but rather as prior information to guide feature enhancement.

[0060] Step 4: The coarse guided probability distribution obtained in Step 3 is adaptively weighted using a dynamic gating mechanism on the feature vector. Combined with subsequent cross-feature interaction and attention mechanisms, an enhanced feature vector is generated.
