Cam-based weakly supervised learning object localization device and method

Abstract

Disclosed are a CAM-based weakly supervised object localization device and method. The device includes: a feature map extractor configured to extract a feature map of a last convolutional layer in a convolutional neural network (CNN) in a process of applying an image to the CNN; a weight vector binarization unit configured to first binarize a weight vector of a linear layer in a process of sequentially applying the feature map to a pooling layer that generates a feature vector and the linear layer that generates a class label; a feature map binarization unit configured to second binarize the feature map based on the first binarized weight vector; and a class activation map generation unit configured to generate a class activation map for object localization based on the second binarized feature map.
