• Abstract summary: We propose feedback pyramid attention networks (FPAN) to fully exploit the mutual dependencies of features. In our method, the output of each layer in the first stage is also used as the input of the corresponding layer in the next state to re-update the previous low-level filters. We introduce a pyramid non-local structure to model global contextual information in different scales and improve the discriminative representation of the network.

• Abstract: Recently, convolutional neural network (CNN) based image super-resolution (SR) methods have achieved significant performance improvement. However, most CNN-based methods mainly focus on feed-forward architecture design and neglect to explore the feedback mechanism, which usually exists in the human visual system. In this paper, we propose feedback pyramid attention networks (FPAN) to fully exploit the mutual dependencies of features. Specifically, a novel feedback connection structure is developed to enhance low-level feature expression with high-level information. In our method, the output of each layer in the first stage is also used as the input of the corresponding layer in the next state to re-update the previous low-level filters. Moreover, we introduce a pyramid non-local structure to model global contextual information in different scales and improve the discriminative representation of the network. Extensive experimental results on various datasets demonstrate the superiority of our FPAN in comparison with the state-of-the-art SR methods.

  Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is a fundamental task in computer vision that has witnessed remarkable progress with deep neural networks. We propose a top-down approach that uses high-level semantics to guide the IQA network to focus on semantically important local distortion regions. A key component of our approach is the proposed cross-scale attention mechanism, which calculates attention maps for lower level features.

We propose a novel model named Hierarchical Bi-directional Feature Perception Network (HBFP-Net) to correlate multi-level information and reinforce each other. Experiments implemented on the mainstream evaluation including Market-1501, CUHK03 and DukeMTMC-ReID datasets show that our method outperforms the recent SOTA Re-ID models.
