Abstract
The technology provides an image resizer that is jointly trainable with neural network classification (recognition) models, and is designed to improve classification performance. Systems and method include applying an input image to a baseline resizer to obtain a default resized image, and applying the input image to a plurality of filters. Each respective filter in the plurality is configured to perform sub-band filtering on the input image to obtain a sub-band filtered result. This includes applying the sub-band filtered result to the baseline resizer to obtain a respective resized result, and also includes applying to the respective resized result a scaling parameter, a bias parameter, and a nonlinear function to obtain a respective filtered image. The process then combines the default resized image and the respective filtered images to generate a combined resized image.
