Aiming at the problem of fine-grained visual categorization, this paper proposed an effective algorithm to achieve end-to-end fine-grained visual categorization. The ECA module in ECA-Net was a channel attention mechanism with significant performance advantages. It model-fused with the classic network ResNet-50 to form the ResEca. Then, it used the object-level image positioning module and the part-level image generation module to generate object-level and part-level images. Those images combined with original images could be as the input of the new constructed network Tb-ResEca-Net. This paper trained the model on the public datasets CUB-200-2011, FGVC-aircraft and Stanford cars datasets, and the accuracy obtained 89.9%, 95.1% and 95.3% respectively on the test set of the corresponding dataset. The experimental results show that this method has higher classification accuracy and stronger robustness compares with other traditional fine-grained classification methods, which is an effective fine-grained image classification method.
