However, the performance of the detection network is severely degraded when the detection scene changes, since the trained network with the data from one scene is not suitable for another scene with different data distribution. In order to address this problem, an adaptive network detector combined with scene classification is proposed in this paper. Aiming at maximizing the posterior probability of the feature vectors, the scene classification network is arranged to control the output ratio of a group of detection sub-networks. Due to the uncertainty of classification error rate in traditional machine learning, the classifier with a controllable false alarm rate is constructed. In addition, a new network training strategy, which freezes the parameters of the scene classification network and selectively fine-tunes the parameters of detection sub-networks, is proposed for the adaptive network structure. Comprehensive experiments are carried out to demonstrate that the proposed method guarantees a high detection probability when the detection scene changes. Compared with some classical detectors, the adaptive network detector shows better performance.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13183743","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,21]],"date-time":"2021-09-21T22:35:20Z","timestamp":1632263720000},"page":"3743","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Adaptive Network Detector for Radar Target in Changing Scenes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"He","family":"Jing","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Yongqiang","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Hao","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]},{"given":"Hongqiang","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, National University of Defense Technology, Changsha 410073, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,9,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"95","DOI":"10.1109\/5.362751","article-title":"Detection of signals in chaos","volume":"83","author":"Haykin","year":"1995","journal-title":"Proc.
