Radar sensor simulation with generative adversarial network

Significant resources have been spent in collecting and storing large and heterogeneous radar datasets during expensive Arctic and Antarctic fieldwork. The vast majority of data available is unlabeled, and the labeling process is both time-consuming and expensive. One possible alternative to the labeling process is the use of synthetically generated data with artificial intelligence. In this research, we evaluated the performance of synthetically generated snow radar images based on modified cycle-consistent adversarial networks. We conducted several experiments to test the quality of the generated radar imagery. Our experiments show a very good similarity between real and synthetic snow radar images.
