研究目的
To propose a fully convolutional network with polarimetric manifold for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image classification to improve accuracy by effectively separating polarimetric features through non-linear mapping.
研究成果
The proposed manifold network effectively separates high-dimensional polarimetric features and improves classification accuracy by 16.5% compared to the FCN8 network alone, demonstrating the utility of non-linear manifold mapping in enhancing SAR image classification.
研究不足
The paper does not explicitly mention limitations, but potential constraints include the computational complexity of t-SNE (which took nearly 580 seconds in experiments), reliance on specific datasets (AIRSAR-Flevoland), and the need for further validation on other SAR datasets or real-time applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The methodology involves extracting polarimetric features from SAR imagery, applying manifold learning (specifically t-SNE) for non-linear dimensionality reduction to map high-dimensional features to a low-dimensional space, and integrating this with a Fully Convolutional Network (FCN8) for classification. The rationale is to use the manifold structure to replace multi-layer convolutions for better feature separation.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The AIRSAR-Flevoland fully-polarized SAR dataset is used, obtained with L band, image size 1024*750 pixels, covering 11 types of ground objects (beans, forests, potatoes, alfalfa, wheat, bareland, beet, rapeseed, peas, grass, water). The dataset is tailored into 4 patches of 512*375 pixels for training and testing.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific equipment or materials are mentioned in the paper; it focuses on computational methods and data processing.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Steps include: a) Extract 42 polarimetric parameters as feature vectors. b) Apply t-SNE manifold method to map features to 3 dimensions. c) Input the mapped features into the FCN8 network for classification. d) Use a cross-validation approach where 3 patches are used for training and 1 for testing, repeated 4 times.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Classification accuracy is evaluated using confusion matrices and average accuracy percentages. Comparative analysis is done with other manifold methods (Isomap, LLE, MDS, Spectral, MLLE, t-SNE) and the FCN8 network alone.
