摘要

摘要: 合成孔径雷达(Synthetic Aperture Radar, SAR)图像分类是SAR图像解译的重要任务。以卷积神经网络(Convolutional Neural Networks, CNN)为代表的监督学习方法需要大量已标注的训练样本。然而对于SAR图像真值标注而言，由于SAR特殊的成像机理，图像受相干斑噪声、几何畸变和结构缺失等因素影响较为严重，非直观性较强，使得SAR图像人工标注非常困难，极易出错，从而导致CNN等模型学习和泛化性能急剧降低。针对这种含噪标记条件下的SAR图像分类问题，该文提出了一种基于概率转移模型的卷积神经网络(Probability Transition CNN, PTCNN)方法，该方法在传统CNN模型基础上，基于含噪标记与正确标记之间的概率转移模型，建立噪声标记转移层，这种新的卷积网络模型可潜在地校正错误标记，增强了含噪标记下分类模型的鲁棒性。与经典CNN等模型相比，在构建的16类SAR图像地物数据集和MSTAR数据集上的实验结果表明该文方法相比于经典CNN等模型，在保持SAR图像分类性能的同时具有较好的抗噪性，能够有效校正训练样本中的标注错误，从而降低了SAR图像有监督分类任务对样本标注质量的要求，具有一定的研究价值与应用前景。

Abstract: SAR image classification is an important task in SAR image interpretation. Supervised learning methods, such as the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), demand samples that are accurately labeled. However, this presents a major challenge in SAR image labeling. Due to their unique imaging mechanism, SAR images are seriously affected by speckle, geometric distortion, and incomplete structural information. Thus, SAR images have a strong non-intuitive property, which causes difficulties in SAR image labeling, and which results in the weakened learning and generalization performance of many classifiers (including CNN). In this paper, we propose a Probability Transition CNN (PTCNN) for patch-level SAR image classification with noisy labels. Based on the classical CNN, PTCNN builds a bridge between noise-free labels and their noisy versions via a noisy-label transition layer. As such, we derive a new CNN model trained with a noisily labeled training dataset that can potentially revise noisy labels and improve learning capacity with noisily labeled data. We use a 16-class land cover dataset and the MSTAR dataset to demonstrate the effectiveness of our model. Our experimental results show the PTCNN model to be robust with respect to label noise and demonstrate its promising classification performance compared with the classical CNN model. Therefore, the proposed PTCNN model could lower the standards required regarding the quality of image labels and have a variety of practical applications.
