Self-supervised contrastive learning strategy has attracted remarkable attention due to its exceptional ability in representation learning.
However, current contrastive learning ... learn global coarse-grained representations ... that benefit generic object recognition ... are insufficient for fine-grained visual recognition.
... present to incorporate the subtle local fine-grained feature learning into global self-supervised contrastive learning through a pure self-supervised global-local fine-grained contrastive learning framework.
... pretext task called Local Discrimination (LoDisc) ... to explicitly supervise self-supervised model's focus towards local pivotal regions which are captured by a simple-but-effective location-wise mask sampling strategy.
... show that Local Discrimination pretext task ... enhance fine-grained clues in important local regions, and the global-local framework further refines the fine-grained feature representations of images.
... method can lead to a decent improvement in different evaluation settings ... is also effective in general object recognition tasks.
