Fine-Grained Image Classification

172 papers with code • 35 benchmarks • 36 datasets

Fine-Grained Image Classification is a task in computer vision where the goal is to classify images into subcategories within a larger category. For example, classifying different species of birds or different types of flowers. This task is considered to be fine-grained because it requires the model to distinguish between subtle differences in visual appearance and patterns, making it more challenging than regular image classification tasks.

Parameter-Efficient Long-Tailed Recognition

shijxcs/pel 18 Sep 2023

In this paper, we propose PEL, a fine-tuning method that can effectively adapt pre-trained models to long-tailed recognition tasks in fewer than 20 epochs without the need for extra data.

Masking Strategies for Background Bias Removal in Computer Vision Models

ananthu-aniraj/masking_strategies_bias_removal 23 Aug 2023

Models for fine-grained image classification tasks, where the difference between some classes can be extremely subtle and the number of samples per class tends to be low, are particularly prone to picking up background-related biases and demand robust methods to handle potential examples with out-of-distribution (OOD) backgrounds.

Task-Oriented Channel Attention for Fine-Grained Few-Shot Classification

leesb7426/cvpr2022-task-discrepancy-maximization-for-fine-grained-few-shot-classification 28 Jul 2023

While TDM influences high-level feature maps by task-adaptive calibration of channel-wise importance, we further introduce Instance Attention Module (IAM) operating in intermediate layers of feature extractors to instance-wisely highlight object-relevant channels, by extending QAM.

GIST: Generating Image-Specific Text for Fine-grained Object Classification

emu1729/gist 21 Jul 2023

We demonstrate the utility of GIST by fine-tuning vision-language models on the image-and-generated-text pairs to learn an aligned vision-language representation space for improved classification.

TOAST: Transfer Learning via Attention Steering

bfshi/toast 24 May 2023

We introduce Top-Down Attention Steering (TOAST), a novel transfer learning algorithm that keeps the pre-trained backbone frozen, selects task-relevant features in the output, and feeds those features back to the model to steer the attention to the task-specific features.
