CS-FSDet: A Few-Shot SAR Target Detection Method for Cross-Sensor Scenarios
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) plays a pivotal role in remote-sensing target detection. However, domain shift caused by distribution discrepancies across sensors, coupled with the scarcity of target-domain samples, severely restricts the generalization and practical performance of SAR detectors. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a few-shot SAR target-detection framework tailored for cross-sensor scenarios (CS-FSDet), enabling efficient transfer of source-domain knowledge to the target domain. First, to mitigate inter-domain feature-distribution mismatch, we introduce a Multi-scale Uncertainty-aware Bayesian Distribution Alignment (MUBDA) strategy. By modeling features as Gaussian distributions with uncertainty and performing dynamic weighting based on uncertainty, MUBDA achieves fine-grained distribution-level alignment of SAR features under different resolutions. Furthermore, we design an Adaptive Cross-domain Interactive Coordinate Attention (ACICA) module that computes cross-domain spatial-attention similarity and learns interaction weights adaptively, thereby suppressing domain-specific interference and enhancing the expressiveness of domain-shared target features. Extensive experiments on two cross-sensor few-shot detection tasks, HRSID→SSDD and SSDD→HRSID, demonstrate that the proposed method consistently surpasses state-of-the-art approaches in mean Average Precision (mAP) under 1-shot to 10-shot settings.
