Under the same principle, laser radar could be more sensitive to the micro-Doppler (m-D) effect due to its wave length, as the characteristic of multi-resolution, S transform could reduce the influence of the micro-Doppler component and enhance the imaging effect. This paper presents a method for micro-Doppler feature extraction in Inverse Synthetic Aperture Imaging Laser Radar (ISAIL) imaging. It is accessible and comprehensive, applying Random Sample Consensus (RANSAC) for the separation and reconstruction of micro-Doppler and rigid body signals. Experiments show that the method can effectively remove the micro-Doppler information and obtain a clear target distance-instantaneous Doppler image.

Different from microwave radar, laser radar could be more sensitive to the micro-Doppler (m-D) effect due to its wave length. This limits the application of conventional methods, such as time–frequency based approach, since the processing needs a receiver with much higher sampling frequency than microwave radar. In this paper, a micro-Doppler feature extraction algorithm is proposed for the inverse synthetic aperture imaging laser radar (ISAIL). Singular-spectrum analysis (SSA) is employed for separation and reconstruction of the micro-Doppler and rigid body signal. Clear ISAIL image is obtained by minimum entropy criteria after echo signal decomposition. After theoretical derivation, the computation efficiency and ability of the proposed method is proved by the results of simulation and real data of An-26.

Facing the complex marine environment, it is extremely challenging to conduct underwater acoustic target feature extraction and recognition using ship-radiated noise. In this paper, firstly, taking the one-dimensional time-domain raw signal of the ship as the input of the model, a new deep neural network model for underwater target recognition is proposed. Depthwise separable convolution and time-dilated convolution are used for passive underwater acoustic target recognition for the first time. The proposed model realizes automatic feature extraction from the raw data of ship radiated noise and temporal attention in the process of underwater target recognition. Secondly, the measured data are used to evaluate the model, and cluster analysis and visualization analysis are performed based on the features extracted from the model. The results show that the features extracted from the model have good characteristics of intra-class aggregation and inter-class separation. Furthermore, the cross-folding model is used to verify that there is no overfitting in the model, which improves the generalization ability of the model. Finally, the model is compared with traditional underwater acoustic target recognition, and its accuracy is significantly improved by 6.8%.

Recently, deep learning (DL) has been successfully applied in automatic target recognition (ATR) tasks of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. However, limited by the lack of SAR image target datasets and the high cost of labeling, these existing DL based approaches can only accurately recognize the target in the training dataset. Therefore, high precision identification of unknown SAR targets in practical applications is one of the important capabilities that the SAR–ATR system should equip. To this end, we propose a novel DL based identification method for unknown SAR targets with joint discrimination. First of all, the feature extraction network (FEN) trained on a limited dataset is used to extract the SAR target features, and then the unknown targets are roughly identified from the known targets by computing the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD) of the target feature vectors. For the targets that cannot be distinguished by KLD, their feature vectors perform t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) dimensionality reduction processing to calculate the relative position angle (RPA). Finally, the known and unknown targets are finely identified based on RPA. Experimental results conducted on the MSTAR dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve higher identification accuracy of unknown SAR targets than existing methods while maintaining high recognition accuracy of known targets.
