This paper presents an ensemble approach for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) that integrates AlexNet, Support Vector Machine (SVM), and template matching through majority voting to improve classification accuracy under various operating conditions. The study utilizes the MSTAR dataset, focusing on both Standard Operating Conditions (SOC) and Extended Operating Conditions (EOC). The methodology begins with SAR image preprocessing, applying threshold segmentation with histogram equalization and morphological filtering to extract target regions. These regions undergo feature extraction, with AlexNet and SVM separately classifying the targets, while template mat... More >

This paper proposes an improved video action recognition method, primarily consisting of three key components. Firstly, in the data preprocessing stage, we developed multi-temporal scale video frame extraction and multi-spatial scale video cropping techniques to enhance content information and standardize input formats. Secondly, we propose a lightweight Inception-3D networks (LI3D) network structure for spatio-temporal feature extraction and design a soft-association feature aggregation module to improve the recognition accuracy of key actions in videos. Lastly, we employ a bidirectional LSTM network to contextualize the feature sequences extracted by LI3D, enhancing the representation capa... More >

Maneuvering target tracking, as a core task in multi-sensor information fusion, is widely used in unmanned vehicles, missile navigation, and underwater ship localization, where real-time and robust state estimation is critical. Due to the uncertainty of the moving characteristics of maneuvering targets and the low sensor measurement accuracy, trajectory tracking has always been an open research problem and challenging work. This paper proposes a Bayesian-inspired stacked LSTM fusion network (SLSTM) for uncertain motion characteristics. The network consists of two LSTM fusion networks with stacked serial relationships, one of which is used to predict the movement dynamics, and the other is us... More >

Nowadays, state estimation is widely used in fields such as autonomous driving and drone navigation. However, in practical applications, it is difficult to obtain accurate target motion models and noise covariance.This leads to a decrease in the estimation accuracy of traditional Kalman filters. To address this issue, this paper proposes an adaptive model free state estimation method based on attention parameter learning module. This method combines Transformer's encoder with Long Short Term Memory Network (LSTM), and obtains the system's operational characteristics through offline learning of measurement data without modeling the system dynamics and measurement characteristics. In addition,... More >
