NAS-based Auxiliary Learning for Fine-grained Vehicle Recognition

Authors Info & Claims
Published:29 October 2022Publication History

ABSTRACT

Fine grained vehicle recognition is a sub-category classification task, specifically for vehicles. It is faced with the problems of small inter-class differences and large intra-class variants, which is very challenging. In order to obtain better recognition accuracy, based on the network architecture searched by neural architecture search (NAS), this paper proposes a novel auxiliary learning method to help learn a more robust model for fine-grained vehicle recognition. Experimental results verify the effectiveness of the proposed method on the public Stanford-Cars and self-built FGVC_LAV datasets.
