Abstract
In accordance with implementations of the subject matter described herein, a solution for fine-grained image recognition is proposed. This solution includes extracting a global feature of an image using a first sub-network of a first learning network; determining a first attention region of the image based on the global feature using a second sub-network of the first learning network, the first attention region including a discriminative portion of an object in the image; extracting a first local feature of the first attention region using a first sub-network of a second learning network; and determining a category of the object in the image based at least in part on the first local feature. Through this solution, it is possible to localize an image region at a finer scale accurately such that a local feature at a fine scale can be obtained for object recognition.
