The challenge of small data has emerged in synthetic aperture radar automatic target recognition (SAR-ATR) problems. Most SAR-ATR methods are data-driven and require a lot of training data that are expensive to collect. To address this challenge, we propose a recognition model that incorporates meta-learning and amortized variational inference (AVI). Specifically, the model consists of global parameters and task-specific parameters. The global parameters, trained by meta-learning, construct a common feature extractor shared between all recognition tasks. The task-specific parameters, modeled by probability distributions, can adapt to new tasks with a small amount of training data. To reduce the computation and storage cost, the task-specific parameters are inferred by AVI implemented with set-to-set functions. Extensive experiments were conducted on a real SAR dataset to evaluate the effectiveness of the model. The results of the proposed approach compared with those of the latest SAR-ATR methods show the superior performance of our model, especially on recognition tasks with limited data.
