• Authors: Maneet Singh, Shruti Nagpal, Mayank Vatsa, Richa Singh
• Abstract summary: Low resolution images suffer from the inherent challenge of limited information content and the absence of fine details useful for sub-category classification. This research proposes a novel attribute-assisted loss, which utilizes ancillary information to learn discriminative features for classification. The proposed loss function enables a model to learn class-specific discriminative features, while incorporating attribute-level separability.

• Abstract: Low resolution fine-grained classification has widespread applicability for applications where data is captured at a distance such as surveillance and mobile photography. While fine-grained classification with high resolution images has received significant attention, limited attention has been given to low resolution images. These images suffer from the inherent challenge of limited information content and the absence of fine details useful for sub-category classification. This results in low inter-class variations across samples of visually similar classes. In order to address these challenges, this research proposes a novel attribute-assisted loss, which utilizes ancillary information to learn discriminative features for classification. The proposed loss function enables a model to learn class-specific discriminative features, while incorporating attribute-level separability. Evaluation is performed on multiple datasets with different models, for four resolutions varying from 32x32 to 224x224. Different experiments demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed attributeassisted loss for low resolution fine-grained classification.

  We propose an innovative approach called High-Discriminative Attribute Feature Learning for Generalized Zero-Shot Learning (HDAFL) HDAFL utilizes multiple convolutional kernels to automatically learn discriminative regions highly correlated with attributes in images.

  Deep neural networks exhibit limited generalizability across images with different entangled domain features and categorical features.
