Abstract:

In recent years, radar target recognition based on deep learning has received great attention. However, there are time constraints and resource constraints in actual combat, and the problem of small sample recognition greatly limits its performance in actual recognition tasks. To solve this problem, based on the meta learning algorithm, this paper improves the performance of new tasks by learning meta knowledge from multiple related tasks, introduces the idea of transfer learning, proposes an improved small sample learning method, and analyzes the application boundary conditions of the method through detailed performance comparison experiments. The experimental results based on the measured high resolution range profile data show that the performance advantage of meta learning method is outstanding only when there are many target categories in the historical accumulated samples and in the case of minimal samples with high correlation with the target task, the proposed method can significantly improve its comprehensive recognition performance.

Key words: radar target recognition, small sample recognition, meta learning, transfer learning, high resolution range profile (HRRP)
