Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) aims to mitigate the performance drop due to the distribution shift between the training and testing datasets. UDA methods have achieved performance gains for models trained on a source domain with labeled data to a target domain with only unlabeled data. The standard feature extraction method in domain adaptation has been convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Recently, attention-based transformer models have emerged as effective alternatives for computer vision tasks. In this paper, we benchmark three attention-based architectures, specifically vision transformer (ViT), shifted window transformer (SWIN), and dual attention vision transformer (DAViT), against convolutional architectures ResNet, HRNet and attention-based ConvNext, to assess the performance of different backbones for domain generalization and adaptation. We incorporate these backbone architectures as feature extractors in the source hypothesis transfer (SHOT) framework for UDA. SHOT leverages the knowledge learned in the source domain to align the image features of unlabeled target data in the absence of source domain data, using self-supervised deep feature clustering and self-training. We analyze the generalization and adaptation performance of these models on standard UDA datasets and aerial UDA datasets. In addition, we modernize the training procedure commonly seen in UDA tasks by adding image augmentation techniques to help models generate richer features. Our results show that ConvNext and SWIN offer the best performance, indicating that the attention mechanism is very beneficial for domain generalization and adaptation with both transformer and convolutional architectures. Our ablation study shows that our modernized training recipe, within the SHOT framework, significantly boosts performance on aerial datasets. |
