GLEM: a global–local enhancement method for fine-grained image recognition with attention erasure and multi-view cropping by Chenglong Zhou, Damin Zhang, Qing He, MingFang Li, MingRong Li, Xiaobo Zhou

“…Due to the highly similar features between categories in fine-grained image recognition tasks, the model requires more substantial discriminative capability. Existing methods mainly focus on learning prominent visual patterns, often neglecting other potential features, which makes it difficult for the model to fully distinguish subtle differences in both global and local features of objects, thus limiting the performance of FGIR tasks. …”
