ABSTRACT The convolutional neural network has been widely used in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) image classification, for it can learn discriminative features from massive amounts of data. However, it is short of distinctive learning mechanisms for different regions in SAR images. In this letter, a novel architecture called multi-depth convolutional neural network (Multi-depth CNN) is proposed which can select different levels of features for classification. Differing from classical convolutional neural network, Multi-depth CNN adopts a piecewise back-propagation method to optimize the network. Meanwhile, compared with classical convolutional neural network, the proposed network can reduce the training time effectively. Experimental results on two datasets demonstrate that the proposed network can achieve better classification accuracy compared with some state-of-art algorithms.
