Capturing Temporal-dependence in Radar Echo for Spatial-temporal Sparse Target Detection
-
摘要: 该文基于低慢小目标探测的地面预警雷达实测回波数据，系统性地提出了一种数据驱动式的目标检测方法框架，解决了两个关键问题：(1)针对当前数据驱动式的目标检测方法未能充分利用特征表示学习来发挥优势的问题，提出了回波时序依赖关系的表示学习方法，并给出无监督和有监督学习的两种实现方式；(2)低慢小目标在雷达探测范围中呈现稀疏性，目标-杂波数目的极度不均衡致使网络判决面严重向杂波倾斜。因此，该文提出利用异常值检测方法中的样本均衡思想，有效缓解了检测模型的判决偏移问题。最后基于实测数据对所提方法框架的各组成部分进行了消融实验，实验结果充分验证了回波时序性特征表示学习和样本均衡策略的有效性。在实测序贯验证条件下，两种检测方法均取得了优于多种CFAR方法的综合检测性能。Abstract: Existing data-driven object detection methods use the Constant False Alarm Rate (CFAR) principle to achieve more robust detection performance using supervised learning. This study systematically proposes a data-driven target detection framework based on the measured echo data from the ground early warning radar for low-altitude slow dim target detection. This framework addresses two key problems in this field: (1) aiming at the problem that current data-driven object detection methods fail to make full use of feature representation learning to exert its advantages, a representation learning method of echo temporal dependency is proposed, and two implementations, including unsupervised- and supervised-learning are given; (2) Low-altitude slow dim targets show extreme sparsity in the radar detection range, such unevenness of target-clutter sample scale causes the trained model to seriously tilt to the clutter samples, resulting in the decision deviation. Therefore, we further propose incorporating the data balancing policy of abnormal detection into the framework. Finally, ablation experiments are performed on the measured X-band echo data for each component in the proposed framework. Experimental results completely validate the effectiveness of our echo temporal representation learning and balancing policy. Additionally, under real sequential validation, our proposed method achieves comprehensive detection performance that is superior to multiple CFAR methods.
