Abstract
A computing machine receives a real synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image including one or more targets. The real SAR image is one of a plurality of real SAR images in a training set. The computing machine generates, for the real SAR image, a model-based target shadow background (TSB) image using a three-dimensional (3D) model of the target. The computing machine generates, for the real SAR image and using an auto-encoder engine, an auto-encoder-generated TSB image using an artificial neural network (ANN). The computing machine computes, using a discriminator engine, an image difference between the auto-encoder-generated TSB image and the model-based TSB image. The computing machine adjusts weights in the auto-encoder engine based on the computed image difference.
