FGVR Tensorflow Baseline

This repo contains training code for FGVR classification using TensorFlow. This implementation achieves comparable state-of-the-art results.

Checkout the Wiki for more technical discussion.

FVGR is a classification task where intra category visual differences are small and can be overwhelmed by factors such as pose, viewpoint, or location of the object in the image. For instance, the following image shows a California gull (left) and a Ringed-beak gull (Right). The beak pattern difference is the key for a correct classification. Such a difference is tiny when compared to the intra-category variations like pose and illumination. FVGR dataset typically involve animal species, models of cars or aircrafts. The following table list six well-known FGVR datasets.

Dataset Num Classes Avg samples Per Class Train Size Val Size Test Size
Flowers-102 102 10 1020 1020 6149
CUB-200-2011 200 29.97 5994 N/A 5794
Stanford Cars 196 41.55 8144 N/A 8041
NABirds 550 43.5 23929 N/A 24633
Aircrafts 100 33.34 3334 3333 3333
Stanford Dogs 120 100 12000 N/A 8580

Requirements

  • Python 3+ [Tested on 3.4.7]
  • Tensorflow 1+ [Tested on 1.8]

Datasets

I prepare my datasets in an un-conviention way. dataset_sample folder provides an example for the cars dataset. Instead of caffe style, listing files and labels in txt file, I use csv file. Reading dataset content in Excel is more appealing, to me, than txt file. To use caffe txt dataset style, make sure to modify CarsTupleLoader and BaseTupleLoader. This should be trivial since these classes return a list of filenames and labels

Preliminary Results

Augmentation using random cropping and horizontal flipping on. No color distortion, vertical flipping or any complex augmentation is employed. The results are preliminary because I didn't wait for till max_iters. Other datasets results and other models like resnet50 will be added later.

Dataset DenseNet161 ResNet50 V2
Flowers-102 93.39 85.59
CUB-200-2011 82.2 69.43
Stanford Cars 91.13 86.84
NABirds 78.80 65.06
Aircrafts 88.65 83.49
Stanford Dogs 81.60 70.36

Running

base_config contains all the parameters needed to train the model. The main function in fgvr_train.py shows how to set these parameters.

Run python fgvr_train.py
