This study introduces a novel method for air target recognition using inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images, addressing limited measured data and domain shift. The domain-adversarial neural networks (DANN) approach achieved 99.5% accuracy, significantly improving few-shot radar target recognition.

Area of Science:

  • Radar Systems Engineering
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Aerospace Engineering

Background:

  • Automatic target recognition (ATR) for air targets using spaceborne radar faces challenges due to scarce measured samples and domain shift between simulated and real data.
  • Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging is crucial for identifying airborne targets, but performance degrades with limited training data.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a robust ISAR image recognition method for air targets that overcomes data scarcity and domain shift issues.
  • To enhance the performance of few-shot radar target recognition by combining physics-driven data augmentation with domain adversarial transfer learning.

Main Methods:

  • Established a mapping from target 3D point clouds to ISAR images using radar observation geometry and a 2D sinc kernel for energy rendering.

  • Employed unsupervised transfer learning, specifically domain-adversarial neural networks (DANN) with a dynamic inversion coefficient in the gradient reversal layer (GRL).
  • Conducted cross-domain recognition experiments on six aircraft types, comparing DANN with model fine-tuning and deep domain confusion (DDC), visualized with t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE).

    • Main Results:

    • The DANN model achieved a 99.5% recognition accuracy on the unlabeled target domain, outperforming model fine-tuning and DDC.
    • Demonstrated significant feature distribution alignment between source and target domains, ensuring high overlapping samples.
    • Maintained strong inter-class discriminability while effectively eliminating domain shift, proving robustness.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed physics-driven data augmentation and DANN approach provide a physically interpretable and robust solution for few-shot radar target recognition.
    • This method significantly enhances the accuracy and reliability of air target identification in challenging spaceborne radar scenarios.
    • The findings offer a promising technical pathway for improving radar-based surveillance and defense systems.
