Landscapes: Ways of Imagining the World

The authors explore the impact of popular culture on landscapes, such as the place-creating power of films as well as the evolving gastronomic landscapes created by cultural fusion. Landscapes, from the multicultural city to the anorexic body, are seen as contested spaces of power and resistance and are visible manifestations of ethnicity, class, gender and sexuality

SAR Target Incremental Recognition based on Features with Strong Separability

With the rapid development of deep learning technology, many SAR target recognition algorithms based on convolutional neural networks have achieved exceptional performance on various datasets. However, conventional neural networks are repeatedly iterated on a fixed dataset until convergence, and once they learn new tasks, a large amount of previously learned knowledge is forgotten, leading to a significant decline in performance on old tasks. This paper presents an incremental learning method based on strong separability features (SSF-IL) to address the model’s forgetting of previously learned knowledge. The SSF-IL employs both intra-class and inter-class scatter to compute the feature separability loss, in order to enhance the linear separability of features during incremental learning. In the process of learning new classes, an intra-class clustering loss is proposed to replace the conventional knowledge distillation. This loss function constrains the old class features to cluster around the saved class centers, maintaining the separability among the old class features. Finally, a classifier bias correction method based on boundary features is designed to reinforce the classifier’s decision boundary and reduce classification errors. SAR target incremental recognition experiments are conducted on the MSTAR dataset, and the results are compared with several existing incremental learning algorithms to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.</p
