Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure provides a fine-grained image recognition method and apparatus using graph structure represented high-order relation discovery, wherein the method includes: inputting an image to be classified into a convolutional neural network feature extractor with multiple stages, extracting two layers of network feature graphs in the last stage, constructing a hybrid high-order attention module according to the network feature graphs, and forming a high-order feature vector pool according to the hybrid high-order attention module, using each vector in the vector pool as a node, and utilizing semantic similarity among high-order features to form representative vector nodes in groups, and performing global pooling on the representative vector nodes to obtain classification vectors, and obtaining a fine-grained classification result through a fully connected layer and a classifier based on the classification vectors.
