The Polarimetric Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolInSAR) system is a combination of polarimetric SAR and interferometric SAR, which can simultaneously obtain the power information, polarimetric information, and interferometric information of land cover. Traditional land cover classification methods fail to fully utilize these information types, resulting in limited classification types and low accuracy. This paper proposes a PolInSAR land cover classification method that fuses power information, polarimetric information, and interferometric information, aiming to enrich the classification types and improve the classification accuracy. Firstly, the land cover is divided into strong scattering areas and weak scattering areas by using the power information to avoid the influence of weak scattering areas on the classification results. Then, the weak scattering areas are distinguished into shadows and water bodies by combining the interferometric information and image corners. For the strong scattering areas, the polarimetric information is utilized to distinguish vegetation, buildings, and bare soil. For the vegetation area, the concept of vegetation ground elevation is put forward. By combining with the anisotropy parameter, the vegetation is further subdivided into tall coniferous vegetation, short coniferous vegetation, tall broad-leaved vegetation, and short broad-leaved vegetation. The effectiveness of the method has been verified by the PolInSAR data obtained from the N-SAR system developed by Nanjing Research Institute of Electronics Technology. The overall classification accuracy reaches 90.2%, and the Kappa coefficient is 0.876.

Aiming at the problems of extremely scarce measured samples and significant domain shift between simulated and measured data in automatic target recognition (ATR) of air targets for spaceborne radar, this paper proposes an inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image recognition method for air targets combining physics-driven data augmentation guided by detection prior information with domain adversarial transfer learning. First, the mapping relationship between scattering point projection and ISAR images is established by using the target 3D point cloud and radar observation geometric priors, and a 2D sinc kernel function is introduced for energy distribution rendering. Then, under the unsupervised transfer learning paradigm, aiming at the distribution inconsistency between augmented data (source domain) and unlabeled simulated data (target domain), this paper designs a cross-domain recognition task experiment including six types of typical aircraft targets, and compares the cross-domain recognition performance of three transfer learning methods (model fine-tuning, deep domain confusion (DDC) and domain-adversarial neural networks (DANN)) on the target domain. Meanwhile, t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE) visualization is used to analyze the feature distribution alignment ability of the models. Simulation experiments show that the DANN model with a dynamic inversion coefficient introduced in the gradient reversal layer (GRL) achieves a recognition accuracy of 99.5% on the unlabeled target domain, which is significantly superior to the model fine-tuning and DDC methods. Moreover, it makes the feature distributions of source and target domain samples highly overlapping, and maintains a strong inter-class discriminability while eliminating the domain shift. The proposed scheme provides a physically interpretable and robust technical path for few-shot radar target image recognition.
