Complementary-View SAR Target Recognition Based on One-Shot Learning

Abstract

The consistent speckle noise in SAR images easily interferes with the semantic information of the target. Additionally, the limited quantity of supervisory information available in one-shot learning leads to poor performance. To address the aforementioned issues, we creatively propose an SAR target recognition model based on one-shot learning. This model incorporates a background noise removal technique to eliminate the interference caused by consistent speckle noise in the image. Then, a global and local complementary strategy is employed to utilize the data’s inherent a priori information as a supplement to the supervisory information. The experimental results show that our approach achieves a recognition performance of 70.867% under the three-way one-shot condition, which attains a minimum improvement of 7.467% compared to five state-of-the-art one-shot learning methods. The ablation studies demonstrate the efficacy of each design introduced in our model.
