    Abstract
  • This study addresses the issue of fine-grained feature extraction and classification for Low-Slow-Small (LSS) targets, such as birds and drones, by proposing a multi-band multi-angle feature fusion classification method. First, data from five types of rotorcraft drones and bird models were collected at multiple angles using K-band and L-band frequency-modulated continuous-wave radars, forming a dataset for LSS target detection. Second, to capture the periodic vibration characteristics of the L-band target signals, empirical mode decomposition was applied to extract high-frequency features and reduce noise interference. For the K-band echo signals, short-time Fourier transform was applied to obtain high-resolution micro-Doppler features from various angles. Based on these features, a Multi-band Multi-angle Feature Fusion Network (MMFFNet) was designed, incorporating an improved convolutional long short-term memory network for temporal feature extraction, along with an attention fusion module and a multiscale feature fusion module. The proposed architecture improves target classification accuracy by integrating features from both bands and angles. Validation using a real-world dataset showed that compared with methods relying on single radar features, the proposed approach improved the classification accuracy for seven types of LSS targets by 3.1% under a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) of 5 dB and by 12.3% under a low SNR of −3 dB.
