Abstract

Deep learning methods have been widely studied in the field of polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) ship detection over the past few years. However, the backscattering of manmade targets, including ships, is sensitive to the relative geometry between target orientation and radar line of sight, which makes the diversity of polarimetric and spatial features of ships. The diversity of scattering leads to a relative increase in the scarcity of PolSAR-labeled samples, which are difficult to obtain. To solve the abovementioned issue and extract the polarimetric and spatial features of PolSAR images better, this paper proposes a few-shot PolSAR ship detection method based on the combination of constructed polarimetric input data selection and improved contrastive self-supervised learning (CSSL) pre-training. Specifically, eight polarimetric feature extraction methods are adopted to construct deep learning network input data with polarimetric features. The backbone is pre-trained with un-labeled PolSAR input data through an improved CSSL method without negative samples, which enhances the representation capability by the multi-scale feature fusion module (MFFM) and implements a regularization strategy by the mix-up auxiliary pathway (MUAP). The pre-trained backbone is applied to the downstream ship detection network; only a few labeled samples are used for fine-tuning and the construction method of polarimetric input data with the best detection effect is studied. The comparison and ablation experiment results on the self-established PolSAR ship detection dataset verify the superiority of the proposed method, especially in the case of few-shot learning.
