Abstract

Technical solutions are described for training an object-recognition neural network that identifies an object in a computer-readable image. An example method includes assigning a first neural network for determining a visual alignment model of the images for determining a normalized alignment of the object. The method further includes assigning a second neural network for determining a visual representation model of the images for recognizing the object. The method further includes determining the visual alignment model by training the first neural network and determining the visual representation model by training the second neural network independent of the first. The method further includes determining a combined object recognition model by training a combination of the first neural network and the second neural network. The method further includes recognizing the object in the image based on the combined object recognition model by passing the image through each of the neural networks.
