| Popis: | In this work, we propose a layer to retarget feature maps in Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Our “Retarget” layer densely samples values for each feature map channel at locations inferred by our proposed spatial attention regressor. Our layer increments an existing saliency-based distortion layer by replacing its convolutional components with depthwise convolutions. This reformulation with the tuning of its hyper-parameters makes the Retarget layer applicable at any depth of feed-forward CNNs. Keeping in spirit with Content-Aware Image Resizing retargeting methods, we introduce our layers at the bottlenecks of three pre-trained CNNs. We validate our approach on the ImageCLEF2013, ImageCLEF2015, and ImageCLEF2016 document subfigure classification task. Our redesigned DenseNet121 model with the Retarget layer achieved state-of-the-art results under the visual category when no data augmentations were performed. Performing spatial sampling for each channel of the feature maps at deeper layers exponentially increases computational cost and memory requirements. To address this, we experiment with an approximation of the nearest neighbor interpolation and show consistent improvement over the baseline models and other state-of-the-art attention models.
