Abstract:

A statistical modeling method based on multitask sparse learning is proposed to realize the recognition of the high resolution range profile (HRRP) with a small training data size. The statistical modeling of each training aspect-frame is considered as a single task in our method. Since the training aspect-frames are not independent but inter-related, they can share a compact dictionary to make full use of the information. However, with the different targets and the aspect sensitivity of the same target, it is usually hard to assess the task relatedness, and joint learning with unrelated tasks may degrade the recognition performance. Therefore, we adopt the Bernoulli-Beta prior to learn the needed atoms of each aspect-frame automatically with the given training data. Then the relatedness between frames is determined by the number of shared atoms, and multitask learning can be realized adaptively. The recognition experiments of the measured HRRP data demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
