A self-supervised learning approach to deep filter banks for texture recognition 文章

arXiv:2605.27843v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An important challenge in texture recognition is the limited amount of data for training frequently found in real-world applications. In computer vision in general, a successful strategy to mitigate this issue is the use of a pretraining stage where the neural network learns to identify relations between parts of the data in a self-supervised manner. A well-established framework in this direction is masked autoencoder. Nevertheless, these models usually rely on computationally intensive architectures, such as vision transformers. In the particular case of texture images, most of the relevant information is compacted within a delimited area around each pixel, which suggests that capturing long-range dependence via the attention mechanism may be unnecessary. Based on that assumption, here we propose a framework where the pretraining model is a convolutional autoencoder.
