Abstract:Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) has been widely used in both civil and military fields. Electronic jamming of SAR has always been the focus of confrontation game in military reconnaissance field. Different from the artificial easy-to-identify jamming technology, the adversarial attack based on artificial hard-to-notice perturbation samples has been widely researched in the field of computer vision such as optical image processing in recent years. At present, the adversarial sample generation technique has also been gradually applied to SAR image adversarial attacks, which brings new challenges to SAR information security. This paper briefly summarized the research progress of SAR image adversarial attack techniques and methods, mainly including the basic models and solutions of image adversarial attack, SAR image adversarial attack principles and methods. Then, the performance analysis of SAR image target detection under adversarial attack was carried out for typical deep learning target detection algorithms. The efficiency of the adversarial attack was verified. Finally,prospects for SAR image adversarial attack were given from four aspects: the algorithm vulnerability mechanism and algorithm reinforcement, the electromagnetic scattering mechanism driven adversarial attack technique, the adversarial attack for advanced imaging radar configurations, and the identification and defence of adversarial attacks.
