Attention Mechanism and Sparse Low-Rank Modeling Based Neural Network
for Data Augmentation of Through-the-Wall Radar Human Motion Recognition
Abstract
In order to better address the non-adaptability of image recognition
algorithms on through-the-wall radar human motion data and the low
signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) caused by microwave penetration through
walls, an attention mechanism and sparse low-rank modeling based neural
network is proposed in this paper. The method combines information from
physical background of moving target and vision characteristics of
imaging to achieve effective suppression of wall clutter and noise as
well as enhancement of motion feature. The super resolution of human
motion feature is achieved by sparsely encoded learning iterative
shrinkage thresholding (LISTA) module. The location of human behind the
wall is obtained by an improved coordinate attention mechanism, which
automatically calibrates the regions associated with human motion
characteristics. Chunked output super-resolution information after
attention mechanism and LISTA module is finally weighted and aggregated
by the parallel adaptive weight module. Experiments demonstrate that a
better SNR is achieved for image feature extraction, while the accuracy
and the convergence speed of the existing classification algorithms is
effectively raised.
