• Abstract: Scattering networks yield powerful and robust hierarchical image descriptors which do not require lengthy training and which work well with very few training data. However, they rely on sampling the scale dimension. Hence, they become sensitive to scale variations and are unable to generalize to unseen scales. In this work, we define an alternative feature representation based on the Riesz transform. We detail and analyze the mathematical foundations behind this representation. In particular, it inherits scale equivariance from the Riesz transform and completely avoids sampling of the scale dimension. Additionally, the number of features in the representation is reduced by a factor four compared to scattering networks. Nevertheless, our representation performs comparably well for texture classification with an interesting addition: scale equivariance. Our method yields superior performance when dealing with scales outside of those covered by the training dataset. The usefulness of the equivariance property is demonstrated on the digit classification task, where accuracy remains stable even for scales four times larger than the one chosen for training. As a second example, we consider classification of textures.

  Convolutional networks are not equivariant to variations in scale and fail to generalize to objects of different sizes. We introduce a new family of models that applies many re-scaled kernels with shared weights in parallel and then selects the most appropriate one. Our experimental results on STIR show that both the existing and proposed approaches can improve generalization across scales compared to standard convolutions.

• Scale Equivariant U-Net [0.0]
  This paper introduces the Scale Equivariant U-Net (SEU-Net), a U-Net that is made approximately equivariant to a semigroup of scales and translations. The proposed SEU-Net is trained for semantic segmentation of the Oxford Pet IIIT and the DIC-C2DH-HeLa dataset for cell segmentation. The generalization metric to unseen scales is dramatically improved in comparison to the U-Net, even when the U-Net is trained with scale jittering.

  We study the equivariance properties of hundreds of pretrained models, spanning CNNs, transformers, and Mixer architectures. We find that many violations of equivariance can be linked to spatial aliasing in ubiquitous network layers, such as pointwise non-linearities. For example, transformers can be more equivariant than convolutional neural networks after training.
