Synthetic aperture radar(SAR) target recognition method based on deep networks requires a large amount of training data, and in practical applications, it is extremely difficult for SAR imaging systems to obtain sufficient and evenly distributed target data. One way to solve the small sample problem in SAR target recognition, is to use electromagnetic simulation technology to generate a large amount of SAR simulation data. However, there are still significant differences between simulated images and measured SAR images, so using simulation data directly cannot bring significant performance improvement for target recognition. A simulation data optimization method based on SAR target characteristic constraints was proposed to address the above issues. On the basis of analyzing the characteristics of SAR targets, a texture structure cycle-consistent generative adversarial network (TS-CycleGAN) based on texture structure and cycle consistency was constructed, in which the structural similarity measure was used to constrain the generation process of CycleGAN. This method can reduce the difference between simulation data and measured data, and can improve the usability of simulation data. The experimental results on the SAR SAMPLE dataset show that, compared to other simulation data optimization methods, the proposed method achieves significant improvements in image quality evaluation and classification performance.
