Polarimetric radar target recognition framework based on LSTM

Polarimetric information is of great importance for radar target recognition. Conventional polarimetric features are hand-designed based on scattering mechanism. In this study, a novel polarimetric target recognition framework based on long–short-term memory (LSTM) network is proposed. The different...

description Polarimetric information is of great importance for radar target recognition. Conventional polarimetric features are hand-designed based on scattering mechanism. In this study, a novel polarimetric target recognition framework based on long–short-term memory (LSTM) network is proposed. The different polarimetric channels are regarded as the sequential inputs in LSTM, and the features are extracted automatically. Experimental results on dual-polarised high-resolution range profile recognition demonstrate that the features learnt by LSTM are more discriminating than conventional features. The recognition performance of the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art methods as well.
