Abstract

The core for tackling the fine-grained visual categorization (FGVC) is to learn subtleyet discriminative features. Most previous works achieve this by explicitly selecting thediscriminative parts or integrating the attention mechanism via CNN-based approaches.However, these methods enhance the computational complexity and make the modeldominated by the regions containing the most of the objects. Recently, vision trans-former (ViT) has achieved SOTA performance on general image recognition tasks. Theself-attention mechanism aggregates and weights the information from all patches to theclassification token, making it perfectly suitable for FGVC. Nonetheless, the classifi-cation token in the deep layer pays more attention to the global information, lackingthe local and low-level features that are essential for FGVC. In this work, we proposea novel pure transformer-based framework Feature Fusion Vision Transformer (FFVT)where we aggregate the important tokens from each transformer layer to compensate thelocal, low-level and middle-level information. We design a novel token selection mod-ule called mutual attention weight selection (MAWS) to guide the network effectivelyand efficiently towards selecting discriminative tokens without introducing extra param-eters. We verify the effectiveness of FFVT on four benchmarks where FFVT achievesthe state-of-the-art performance.
