First, the inertial data is employed to estimate the Doppler parameters of the burst echoes. The acceleration measured by INS is utilized to compensate the error caused by the approximate constant acceleration of the platform through azimuth dechirping. Then the ECS algorithm for sub-aperture imaging is introduced to complete the pre-processing of the burst data. Finally, the burst image is acquired by multilooking.

Hence, a neural network of sparse auto-encoder with non-negativity constraints (NC-SAE) was employed to compress the data, yielding efficient features for accurate classification. Then, a novel classifier of multi-scale feature classification network (MSFCN) was constructed to improve the classification performance, which is proved to be superior to the popular classifiers of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and supper vector machine (SVM).

In the proposed method, the clutter component in the echo is suppressed through the RELAX algorithm firstly, which notably reduces the influence of strong point source clutter on weak target detection.

The instantaneous radar observation angles are first derived from the 6-degrees of freedom (DOF) pose of ship driven by sea waves. Taking a specific observation angle and radar parameters as input, on the one hand, we can predict the two dimensional (2-D) complex scattering image of ship via high-frequency electromagnetic (EM) calculation and projection technique, efficiently. On the other hand, the 2-D complex scattering function of the rough sea surface can be calculated by using the sea spectrum inversion and capillary wave modification facet scattering model (CWMFSM), directly. Finally, a radar image for the composite scene can be obtained by superimposing the complex scattering images of target and rough sea surface, after which a fast point-spread operation using 2-D window function is made in the frequency domain for sidelobe suppression. The proposed approach can generate single radar image of ship on sea surface in a few seconds compared with traditional algorithms always including time-consuming processing steps. So, this algorithm can be utilized to simulate the snapshot image sequence of ship on time-evolving sea surface under the given radar observation trajectory, which provides abundant pre-training samples for target recognition. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.","PeriodicalId":318218,"journal":{"name":"2021 2nd China International SAR Symposium (CISS)","volume":"34 52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123080995","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
