SASP: Strip-Aware Spatial Perception for Fine-Grained Bird Image Classification
- 通过条带感知机制捕捉鸟图中长程空间依赖关系
- 在CUB-200-2011数据集上实现显著性能提升
- 适合需要高精度识别与模型可解释性的生态监测场景
细粒度鸟类图像分类(FBIC)在生态监测与物种识别中具有重要意义,也推动了图像识别与细粒度视觉建模的研究。相比一般分类任务,FBIC面临三大挑战:1)物种体型与成像距离差异导致图像中鸟的大小不一;2)复杂自然背景带来强干扰;3)飞行、栖息、觅食等灵活姿态引发类内显著变异。这些因素使传统方法难以稳定提取判别特征,限制了模型在真实场景中的泛化与可解释性。为此,本文提出基于条带感知空间感知的细粒度鸟类分类框架,旨在捕捉鸟图中整行或整列的长程空间依赖,增强模型鲁棒性与可解释性。该方法引入两个新模块:扩展感知聚合器(EPA)与通道语义编织(CSW)。EPA通过横向与纵向空间方向的信息聚合,融合局部纹理与全局结构线索;CSW则沿通道维度自适应融合长程与短程信息,进一步优化语义表征。基于ResNet-50主干网络,模型实现空间域上扩展结构特征的跳跃连接。在CUB-200-2011数据集上的实验表明,该框架在保持架构高效的同时取得显著性能提升。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Fine-grained bird image classification (FBIC) is not only of great significance for ecological monitoring and species identification, but also holds broad research value in the fields of image recognition and fine-grained visual modeling. Compared with general image classification tasks, FBIC poses more formidable challenges: 1) the differences in species size and imaging distance result in the varying sizes of birds presented in the images; 2) complex natural habitats often introduce strong background interference; 3) and highly flexible poses such as flying, perching, or foraging result in substantial intra-class variability. These factors collectively make it difficult for traditional methods to stably extract discriminative features, thereby limiting the generalizability and interpretability of models in real-world applications. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a fine-grained bird classification framework based on strip-aware spatial perception, which aims to capture long-range spatial dependencies across entire rows or columns in bird images, thereby enhancing the model's robustness and interpretability. The proposed method incorporates two novel modules: extensional perception aggregator (EPA) and channel semantic weaving (CSW). Specifically, EPA integrates local texture details with global structural cues by aggregating information across horizontal and vertical spatial directions. CSW further refines the semantic representations by adaptively fusing long-range and short-range information along the channel dimension. Built upon a ResNet-50 backbone, the model enables jump-wise connection of extended structural features across the spatial domain. Experimental results on the CUB-200-2011 dataset demonstrate that our framework achieves significant performance improvements while maintaining architectural efficiency.
