Title
Incremental Multitask Sar Target Recognition With Dominant Neuron Preservation
Abstract
Simultaneous multitask processing is a common requirement in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) automatic target recognition (ATR), e.g., not only the category of the target but also the aspect angle of the target need to be identified at the same time. Moreover, the target recognition network is always expected to have the capability of incremental learning, i.e., acquire the processing capabilities for new tasks while maintaining the processing capabilities for old tasks. In this paper, an incremental multitask learning method based on structured pruning is proposed. The structured pruning, originally proposed for network compression, is used to learn with dominant neuron and release parameter space of convolutional neural network for new tasks. Through iterative pruning and training of new tasks, multitask target recognition is realized in a single convolutional neural network and could simultaneously output recognition results of multiple tasks. The experiments on the MSTAR dataset show that our method can simultaneously recognize the category and aspect angle of target, while does not decrease the corresponding accuracy compared to singletask processing.
