Abstract

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) target recognition under extended operating conditions (EOCs) is a challenging problem due to the complex application environment, especially for insufficient target variations and corrupted SAR images in the training samples. This paper proposes a new strategy to solve these problems for target recognition. The SAR images are firstly characterized by multi-scale components of monogenic signal. The generated monogenic features are decomposed to learn a class dictionary and a shared dictionary, which represent the possible intraclass variations information and the common information, respectively. Moreover, a sparse representation of the class dictionary and a dense representation of the shared dictionary are jointly employed to represent a query sample for classification. The validity of the proposed strategy is demonstrated with multiple comparative experiments on moving and stationary target acquisition and recognition (MSTAR) database.
