LoRA boosts SAS vision transformer AUPRC to 0.679 in underwater target recognition

Researchers adapted a DINOv3 Vision Transformer (ViT) for synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) automatic target recognition, a task limited by scarce imagery and noisy acoustic backgrounds. Their three‑stage, parameter‑efficient framework first applies Low‑Rank Adaptation (LoRA) while keeping the ViT backbone frozen, then adds hard‑negative mining, and finally uses supervised contrastive learning…

Key points

  • LoRA adaptation raised AUPRC from 0.300 to 0.679 ± 0.027 using a frozen ViT backbone.
  • Only 0.26 % of model weights (Rank 4) were trained during LoRA adaptation.
  • Hard‑negative mining and SupCon produced negligible AUPRC changes (‑0.0045 ± 0.0119 and +0.0002 ± 0.0096).
