Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Target Recognition and Detection is a multidisciplinary field that involves a variety of sensors, such as synthetic aperture radar (SAR), inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR), side-scan sonar, multispectral/hyperspectral sensors and others. Target recognition and detection is to search regions of interested targets in an image and determine the category and location of targets. It usually marks the image, selects the target area of interest in the image with a rectangular box, and finally creates a category label for the image target. As important steps of image processing and further analysis, improvement in target recognition and detection techniques is urgently needed to achieve higher performance in various tasks. Although deep learning has achieved unprecedented success in the field, there are still open application issues that must be comprehensively addressed.

This Special Issue aims to gather papers presenting recent advances in Target Recognition and Detection with novel and impactful applications. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Machine learning for target recognition and detection;
  • Theory of multi-objective/multi-task optimization and learning;
  • Change detection and classification in remote sensing;
  • Remote sensing/teaching image object detection, segmentation and categorization;
  • Underwater target recognition and detection;
  • Ocean acoustic remote sensing;
  • Radar high-speed target detection, tracking, imaging and recognition;
  • Computational electromagnetics and scattering measurement theory;
  • Sensor signal detection, identification and categorization.

Research articles, review articles and short communications are welcome for submission.

Due to the issues of remote sensing object detection algorithms based on deep learning, such as a high number of network parameters, large model size, and high computational requirements, it is challenging to deploy them on small mobile devices. This paper proposes an extremely lightweight remote sensing aircraft object detection network based on the improved YOLOv5n. This network combines Shufflenet v2 and YOLOv5n, significantly reducing the network size while ensuring high detection accuracy. It substitutes the original CIoU and convolution with EIoU and deformable convolution, optimizing for the small-scale characteristics of aircraft objects and further accelerating convergence and improving regression accuracy. Additionally, a coordinate attention (CA) mechanism is introduced at the end of the backbone to focus on orientation perception and positional information. We conducted a series of experiments, comparing our method with networks like GhostNet, PP-LCNet, MobileNetV3, and MobileNetV3s, and performed detailed ablation studies. The experimental results on the Mar20 public dataset indicate that, compared to the original YOLOv5n network, our lightweight network has only about one-fifth of its parameter count, with only a slight decrease of 2.7% in mAP@0.5. At the same time, compared with other lightweight networks of the same magnitude, our network achieves an effective balance between detection accuracy and resource consumption such as memory and computing power, providing a novel solution for the implementation and hardware deployment of lightweight remote sensing object detection networks.

Visible-infrared person re-identification (VI-ReID) aims at matching pedestrian images with the same identity between different modalities. Existing methods ignore the problems of detailed information loss and the difficulty in capturing global features during the feature extraction process. To solve these issues, we propose a Transformer-based Feature Compensation Network (TFCNet). Firstly, we design a Hierarchical Feature Aggregation (HFA) module, which recursively aggregates the hierarchical features to help the model preserve detailed information. Secondly, we design the Global Feature Compensation (GFC) module, which exploits Transformer’s ability to capture long-range dependencies in sequences to extract global features. Extensive results show that the rank-1/mAP of our method on the SYSU-MM01 and RegDB datasets reaches 60.87%/58.87% and 91.02%/75.06%, respectively, which is better than most existing excellent methods. Meanwhile, to demonstrate our method‘s transferability, we also conduct related experiments on two aerial photography datasets. Full article
