Abstract
It is difficult to realize effective synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR) in open scenarios because the ATR model cannot continuously learn from new classes with limited training samples. When adding new classes to the previously trained model, the capability of recognizing old classes may lose due to severe overfitting. To tackle this problem, a few-shot class-incremental SAR ATR method, namely hierarchical embedding and incremental evolutionary network (HEIEN), is proposed in this paper. Firstly, a hierarchical embedding network and a hybrid distance-based classifier is constructed for basic feature extraction and classification. Then, in order to obtain more accurate decision boundaries, an adaptive class-incremental learning module is designed to adjust the weights of classifiers in all tasks by collecting context information from the past to the present. Finally, a pseudo incremental training strategy is designed to enable effective model training with only a few samples. Experimental results on the MSTAR benchmark data set have illustrated that HEIEN performs well with remarkable advantages in few-shot class-incremental SAR ATR tasks.
