Intelligent Known and Novel Aircraft Recognition -- A Shift from Classification to Similarity Learning for Combat Identification

arXiv:2402.16486v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Precise aircraft recognition in low-resolution remote sensing imagery is a challenging yet crucial task in aviation, especially combat identification. This research addresses this problem with a novel, scalable, and AI-driven solution. The primary hurdle in combat identification in remote sensing imagery is the accurate recognition of Novel/Unknown types of aircraft in addition to Known types. Traditional methods, human expert-driven combat identification and image classification, fall short in identifying Novel classes. Our methodology employs similarity learning …
