Abstract:

The current deep learning SAR image simulation methods generally do not consider the feature differences of different geomorphic categories in SAR images, resulting in distortion of geomorphic differentiation in simulated images. To address this issue, this paper proposes a visible-to-SAR image translation algorithm guided by geomorphic category information. A topographic category extraction branch is designed, and the attention mechanism is used to collect topographic category information from multiple dimensions to guide SAR image simulation. Image content extraction branches are designed, and contrast learning is used to enhance the feature extraction capability of the network for common content information of visible light and SAR images. An image generation module is designed to convert content information into SAR images under the guidance of geomorphic category information, so that the generated SAR images have the features corresponding to geomorphic categories, and path regularization is used to subdivide the complete translation process from visible light to SAR images to reduce the difficulty of implementation. A pair dataset of visible light and SAR images with different terrains is established. Experimental comparison of 6 evaluation indexes shows that the proposed algorithm has better performance than other representative algorithms, with the structural similarity being improved by at least 9.24%. In addition, the simulated SAR image shows a higher degree of realism in the visual effect, and can effectively retain the features of landform categories.
