Abstract

Semi-supervised learning (SSL) is an effective approach to training models using a small amount of labeled data and a larger amount of unlabeled data. However, many papers in the field use a fixed threshold when applying pseudo-labels without considering the feature-wise differences among images of different classes. In this paper, we propose a SSL method for synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification that applies different thresholds for each class instead of using a single fixed threshold for all classes. We propose a threshold learning module into the model, considering the differences in feature distributions among classes, to dynamically learn thresholds for each class. We compare the application of a SSL SAR image classification method using different thresholds and examined the advantages of employing class-specific thresholds.

준지도 학습(Semi-supervised learning)은 소량의 라벨이 있는 데이터와 다량의 라벨이 없는 데이터를 사용하여 모델을 훈련하는 효과적인 방법이다. 그러나 많은 논문에서 준지도 학습시 하나의 고정된 임계값을 사용하여 각 클래스별 서로 다른 이미지들의 특징별 차이를 고려하지 않고 임의 라벨을 만든다. 본 논문에서는 합성개구 레이더(SAR) 이미지 분류 준지도 학습시 모든 클래스가 하나의 고정된 임계값을 사용하는 대신 각 클래스에 대해 서로 다른 임계값을 적용한다. 모델에 임계값 학습 모듈을 추가하여 임계값을 학습하여 클래스별로 학습되는 차이를 고려하여 클래스별로 서로 다른 임계값을 얻는다. 서로 다른 임계값을 사용한 준지도 학습기반의 SAR 이미지 분류 방법을 적용유무를 비교하여 클래스별 임계값을 사용하는 이점에 대해 고찰하였다.
