Abstract:Deep learning techniques have greatly improved the classification accuracy of SAR images target, but the security of SAR image classification system is threatened by the inherent vulnerability of neural networks. In this paper, we analyzed the aggressiveness of SAR adversarial samples, and the difference between SAR adversarial examples and original examples in the frequency domain. With the analysis results, a two-step SAR adversarial samples detection technique is proposed to improve the security of SAR classification models. The first step of adversarial sample detection is performed on the input image based on the frequency domain analysis to separate the adversarial samples. Then, the remaining images are fed into an adversarial trained model and an untrained model for finishing the second step of adversarial sample detection. By using this two-step detection method, the adversarial samples can be effectively detected for improving the security of the SAR classification model.
