MtAD-Net: Multi-Threshold Adaptive Decision Net for Unsupervised Synthetic Aperture Radar Ship Instance Segmentation by Junfan Xue, Junjun Yin, Jian Yang

“…A Local U-shape Feature Extractor (LUFE) is designed to project each pixel of SAR images into a high-dimensional feature space, and a Global Vision Transformer Encoder (GVTE) is designed to obtain global features, and then, we use the global features to obtain a probability vector, which is the probability of each CFAR threshold. We further propose a PLC-Loss to adaptively reduce the feature distance of pixels of the same category and increase the feature distance of pixels of different categories. …”
