The invention discloses a SAR image target identification method based on
authentication non-linear
dictionary learning. The SAR image target identification method is mainly used for solving the problem of the prior art of low identification precision. The SAR image target identification method is characterized in that 1, a
training set SAR amplitude image random face characteristic is extracted, and is used as a training sample, and is mapped to a
projection space in a non-linear way; 2, an
authentication code matrix is built according to the category number of the training sample; 3, an
authentication characteristic training
linear SVM classifier is acquired by using the authentication non-linear
dictionary learning; 4, a to-be-tested SAM amplitude image random face characteristic is extracted, and is used as a testing sample, and is mapped to the
projection space; 5, trained dictionaries are renormalized, and the sparsity of the testing sample, which is acquired by using a KOMP method, is used to express a vector; 6, the authentication characteristic of the testing sample is extracted, and is input in the trained
SVM classifier, and then the category of the target in the to-be-tested SAM amplitude image is acquired. The SAR image target identification method is advantageous in that the precision of the target identification is improved, and the SAR image target identification method is used for the classification identification of the target in the SAR image.
