IMPROVING THE REALISM OF SYNTHETIC APERTURE RADAR (SAR) IMAGES IN MODELING AND SYSTEM ANALYSIS OF RECOGNITION TASKS
Abstract and keywords
Abstract:
This scientific article describes a new algorithm that provides high-precision modeling of radio location images using synthesized aperture (SAR) techniques. The aim of the development is to increase the efficiency of AI systems in the tasks of recognizing military equipment in diverse and dynamic operational conditions. The implemented technique is a multi—step sequence: starting with simulating plausible radar responses, then correcting the data obtained to reduce the influence of noise and systematic errors, and finally integrating complex scenes such as urbanized areas or deserted desert spaces. Modern adaptive filters are used to compensate for the distortion caused by the movement of the media, as well as to suppress background noise. Additionally, probabilistic models have been introduced to accurately reproduce the behavior of objects under the influence of changing external factors. The key goal of the tool is to create a scalable and detailed dataset that can be used to train deep neural networks to recognize military equipment (including armored personnel carriers, tanks, trucks, etc.) in conditions as close to reality as possible, but without involving expensive field tests. Moreover, the proposed strategy simplifies the interpretation of radar scenes due to a balanced approach combining physically based modeling with stochastic analysis methods. The work is a comprehensive solution that bridges the gap between the limited amount of field data and the increasing demands from both defense and civilian structures, and lays the foundation for the development of autonomous monitoring systems that adapt to a rapidly changing environment.
