Towards SAR Automatic Target Recognition MultiCategory SAR Image Classification Based on Light Weight Vision Transformer

Understand

Synthetic Aperture Radar has been extensively used in numerous fields and can gather a wealth of information about the area of interest.

• This large scene data intensive technology puts a high value on automatic target recognition which can free the utilizers and boost the efficiency.
• Recent advances in artificial intelligence have made it possible to create a deep learning based SAR ATR that can automatically identify target features from massive input data.
• In the last 6 years, intensive research has been conducted in this area, however, most papers in the current SAR ATR field used recurrent neural network and convolutional neural network varied models to deepen the regime's understanding of the SAR images.
