摘要:
针对毫米波雷达无人机检测领域,开展了基于多特征融合与伪标签增强的弱监督学习方法研究。采用恒定虚警率(CFAR)算法对毫米波雷达回波信号进行目标预检测,从中提取频谱能量分布特征、运动轨迹变化特征及统计分布特征,综合反映无人机的距离、速度及运动状态;利用LogitBoost提升算法构建分类模型,通过迭代加权弱分类器,有效提高了分类准确性。为缓解标注样本不足问题,进一步引入伪标签自训练机制,并通过人工辅助修正,实现了未标注数据的利用,并提升了模型的泛化能力。基于自建的毫米波雷达数据集,开展了多轮实验验证,结果表明:所提方法在3种不同场景的弱监督条件下,接收者工作特征曲线下面积(AUC)分别提升约7.2%/1.6%/6.6%,虚警率降低约36.9%/0%/10.6%,检测准确率较传统方法有显著提高。此外,所提方法表现出较强的环境适应能力,能够在复杂背景下稳定识别小型飞行目标。研究表明,多特征融合结合伪标签增强策略为毫米波雷达无人机检测提供了一种有效的解决方案,具备较高的实用价值和推广潜力。
Abstract:A weakly supervised learning method was investigated for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) detection based on millimeter-wave radar. To enhance feature representation, multiple categories of information were fused, including spectral energy distribution, motion trajectory variation, and statistical descriptors. Target pre-detection was conducted using a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) algorithm, which adaptively filtered the radar echo data and provided coarse localization. Doppler-related indexes were employed to reflect target motion parameters, and time-frequency domain information was used to derive energy characteristics for feature extraction. To further characterize the echo distribution, statistical measures like skewness, kurtosis, and energy ratio across close and far range bins were calculated. A LogitBoost ensemble classifier was employed to train the detection model by combining multiple weighted weak learners through iterative optimization. To address the scarcity of labeled samples, a pseudo-labeling strategy was introduced. The self-training mechanism automatically generated pseudo-labels from high-confidence predictions on unlabeled data and incorporated them into subsequent training cycles. Experimental validation was performed using a dataset comprising multiple real-world radar recordings with UAVs and empty field scenarios. The proposed method demonstrated robust performance under weak supervised conditions in three different scenarios. Compared with the baseline model, the final model achieved an improvement of approximately 7.2%/1.6%/6.6% in the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) and a reduction of approximately 36.9%/0%/10.6% in the false alarm rate. Moreover, the model exhibited consistent detection accuracy in challenging environments with noise and background clutter. This study demonstrates that millimeter-wave radar detection performance for low-altitude, small-size UAVs can be significantly enhanced by combining multi-domain features and implementing pseudo-label augmentation techniques. The method provides practical value for real-time surveillance and airspace security applications.
