A contextual visual-based synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) target detection method and apparatus, and a storage medium, belonging to the field of target detection is described. The method includes: obtaining an SAR image; and inputting the SAR image into a target detection model, and positioning and recognizing a target in the SAR image by using the target detection model, to obtain a detection result. In the present disclosure, a two-way multi-scale connection operation is enhanced through top-down and bottom-up attention, to guide learning of dynamic attention matrices and enhance feature interaction under different resolutions. The model can extract the multi-scale target feature information with higher accuracy, for bounding box regression and classification, to suppress interfering background information, thereby enhancing the visual expressiveness. After the attention enhancement module is added, the detection performance can be greatly improved with almost no increase in the parameter amount and calculation amount of the whole neck.

Contextual visual-based SAR target detection method and apparatus, and storage medium

The present disclosure provides a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image target detection method. The present disclosure takes the anchor-free target detection algorithm YOLOX as the basic framework, reconstructs the backbone feature extraction network from the lightweight perspective, and replaces the depthwise separable convolution in MobilenetV2 with one ordinary convolution and one depthwise separable convolution. The number of channels in the feature map is reduced by half through the ordinary convolution, features input from the ordinary convolution are further extracted by the depthwise separable convolution, and the convolutional results from the two convolutions are spliced. The present disclosure highlights the unique strong scattering characteristic of the SAR target through the attention enhancement pyramid attention network (CSEMPAN) by integrating channels and spatial attention mechanisms. In view of the multiple scales and strong sparseness of the SAR target, the present disclosure uses an ESPHead.
