Zusammenfassung:During the last decades, Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition (SAR ATR) has been vastly utilized in the military services and civil studies. Because of the sensibility of the SAR images of the imaging in the azimuth dimension, using the multi-aspect SAR image sequence is more practical than the single-aspect SAR image to achieve the superior classification accuracy in an actual SAR ATR task. At present time, multi-aspect SAR ATR models mostly utilize Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) that depend on the sequence between samples and so suffer from the lack of information. In a practical work, a huge amount of training set is needed to train a deep learning network accurately, but it is so costly work to extract multi-aspect SAR images. So, in this article, a new model of multi-aspect SAR ATR is proposed by using a self-attention model. The proposed self-attention model is utilized to calculate the internal correlation between the original SAR images. At the same time, to develop the anti-noise capability of the proposed model and decrease the dependency on a huge amount of training data, a Convolutional Auto Encoder (CAE) is designed and utilized in the feature extraction section of the proposed model. On the other hand, unlike existing traditional methods, in this work we use both amplitude and phase information of SAR images to devolve the training process of the proposed model. It should be noted that all of the parameters of the proposed network are developed to a complex domain. In addition a complex backpropagation algorithm by using the gradient based model is used for training the network. In the end, experiments is obtained by using two MSTAR data set (the MSTAR-SOC and EOC). The experimental results prove that the proposed model not only can achieve a high recognitions rate on the case of sufficient training sample but also can obtain an acceptable rate in the case of small training samples in different complex situations. In addition, the simulation results demonstrate that by using the encoder of CAE in the proposed model, the whole configuration of the proposed model achieves the anti-noise capability that is a valuable benefit of any practical SAR ATR task.
