When dealing with incoming Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), it is crucial to recognize the formation of enemy UAVs quickly and accurately, in order to analyze and judge enemies’ combat intentions and formulate effective countermeasures. Therefore, a UAV swarm formation recognition algorithm based on multi-scale complex networks was proposed. Firstly, an adaptive threshold method was established to construct multi-scale complex networks using the UAV swarm formation, and the combination of eigenvalues corresponding to the adjacency matrices of these complex networks was selected to form a shape signature. Then, by introducing Hellinger distance to measure the difference between the shape signature of the formation to be recognized and the standard formation, so as to obtain the recognition results. Simulation results show that compared with the algorithm of obtaining multi-scale complex networks with hard thresholds, the proposed algorithm has better adaptability and robustness, has a higher recognition rate even when the target information is heavily corrupted, and has fewer parameters and lower time complexity.
Aiming at the balance optimization problem of Lightweight Convolutional Neural Network (LCNN) in accuracy and complexity, an adaptive multi-scale feature channel grouping optimization algorithm based on fast Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-Ⅱ) was proposed to optimize the feature channel grouping structure of LCNN. Firstly, the complexity minimization and accuracy maximization of the feature fusion layer structure in LCNN were regarded as two optimization objectives, and the dual-objective function modeling and theoretical analysis were carried out. Then, a LCNN structure optimization framework based on NSGA-Ⅱ was designed, and an adaptive grouping layer based on NSGA-Ⅱ was added to deep convolution layer in original LCNN structure, thus constructing an Adaptive Multi-scale Feature Fusion Network based on NSGA2 (NSGA2-AMFFNetwork). Experimental results on image classification datasets show that compared with the manually designed network structure M_blockNet_v1, NSGA2-AMFFNetwork has the average accuracy improved by 1.220 2 percentage points, and the running time decreased by 41.07%. This above indicates that the proposed optimization algorithm can balance the complexity and accuracy of LCNN, and also provide more options for network structure with balanced performance for ordinary users who lack domain knowledge.
