Unsupervised SAR Fine-Grained Ship Classification via Spherical Metric Refinement With Deep Subdomain Adaptation by Zhichao Han, Haitao Lang

“…Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) is a promising method for addressing the problem of SAR fine-grained ship classification in target domain with no labeled data available by leveraging a large number of labeled samples from source domains. This article proposes a novel framework, spherical metric refinement with deep subdomain adaptation, to address two crucial issues that are rarely recognized by existing UDA approaches, namely prioritizing <italic>adaptation</italic> over fine-grained <italic>classification</italic> and hindering cross-domain alignment and discrimination due to Euclidean feature norms. …”
