To address these problems, an Efficient Bidirectional Path Aggregation Attention Network (EBPA2N) is proposed. In EBPA2N, YOLOv5s is used as the base network and then the Involution Enhanced Path Aggregation (IEPA) module and Effective Residual Shuffle Attention (ERSA) module are proposed and systematically integrated to improve the detection accuracy of the aircraft. The IEPA module aims to effectively extract advanced semantic and spatial information to better capture multi-scale scattering features of aircraft. Then, the lightweight ERSA module further enhances the extracted features to overcome the interference of complex background and speckle noise, so as to reduce false alarms. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed network, Gaofen-3 airports SAR data with 1 m resolution are utilized in the experiment. The detection rate and false alarm rate of our EBPA2N algorithm are 93.05% and 4.49%, respectively, which is superior to the latest networks of EfficientDet-D0 and YOLOv5s, and it also has an advantage of detection speed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13152940","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T16:18:31Z","timestamp":1627402711000},"page":"2940","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["A Fast Aircraft Detection Method for SAR Images Based on Efficient Bidirectional Path Aggregated Attention Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5665-0473","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ru","family":"Luo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Laboratory of Radar Remote Sensing Applications, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2432-9583","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lifu","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Laboratory of Radar Remote Sensing Applications, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5693-3414","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jin","family":"Xing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Engineering, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU, UK"}]},{"ORCID":"http:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7100-826X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zhihui","family":"Yuan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Laboratory of Radar Remote Sensing Applications, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"given":"Siyu","family":"Tan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Laboratory of Radar Remote Sensing Applications, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"given":"Xingmin","family":"Cai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical and Information Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"},{"name":"Laboratory of Radar Remote Sensing Applications, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410014, China"}]},{"given":"Jielan","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Radar Remote Sensing Applications, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410014, China"},{"name":"School of Computer and Communication Engineering, Changsha University of Science & Technology, Changsha 410114, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3932","DOI":"10.1109\/TGRS.2011.2132727","article-title":"Extraction and three-dimensional reconstruction of isolated buildings in urban scenes from high-resolution optical and SAR spaceborne images","volume":"49","author":"Sportouche","year":"2011","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
