Abstract

In the few-shot classification tasks, existing CNN models suffer from insufficient feature extraction, limited feature diversity and weak differentiation between classes in few-shot datasets, leading to low classification accuracy. To address these issues, this paper proposed a few-shot classification model called Fusion Multi-Granular Attention Feature (FMAF) . Firstly, this method incorporated multi-granularity thought into the architecture of CNN feature extraction network to enhance feature diversity. Secondly, after the multi-granular feature extraction network, FMAF added a self-attention layer to extract key features from the multi-granular image features, based on the multi-granular attention features, FMAF employed a feature fusion method to combine the information from multiple-granularity attention features, highlighted the crucial features and improved feature representativeness. Finally, this paper utilizes two classical few-shot datasets for experimental verification on miniImageNet and tieredImageNet. Experimental results show that FMAF method can effectively improve the accuracy and efficiency of classification.
