• Abstract summary: We re-rank the TopN classification results by using the local region enhanced embedding features to improve the Top1 accuracy. To learn more effective semantic global features, we design a multi-level loss over an automatically constructed hierarchical category structure. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on three benchmarks: CUB-200-2011, Stanford Cars, and FGVC Aircraft.

• Abstract: Fine-grained image recognition is very challenging due to the difficulty of capturing both semantic global features and discriminative local features. Meanwhile, these two features are not easy to be integrated, which are even conflicting when used simultaneously. In this paper, a retrieval-based coarse-to-fine framework is proposed, where we re-rank the TopN classification results by using the local region enhanced embedding features to improve the Top1 accuracy (based on the observation that the correct category usually resides in TopN results). To obtain the discriminative regions for distinguishing the fine-grained images, we introduce a weakly-supervised method to train a box generating branch with only image-level labels. In addition, to learn more effective semantic global features, we design a multi-level loss over an automatically constructed hierarchical category structure. Experimental results show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on three benchmarks: CUB-200-2011, Stanford Cars, and FGVC Aircraft. Also, visualizations and analysis are provided for better understanding.

  Humans exhibit remarkable proficiency in visual classification tasks, accurately recognizing and classifying new images with minimal examples. Existing few-shot image classification methods often emphasize either global features or local features, with few studies considering the integration of both. We propose a novel approach based on the Siamese Transformer Network (STN) Our strategy effectively harnesses the potential of global and local features in few-shot image classification, circumventing the need for complex feature adaptation modules.
