Abstract
Recently, neural network-based methods for multi-label textile fiber recognition have achieved considerable success. However, a significant limitation of most current approaches is their disregard for the valuable dependencies that exist among different fiber categories. The universal multi-label image recognition methods that consider label relationships often fall short when applied to the challenge posed by the mixture of fibers in textile images. And these relationship modeling manners have not yet been used in the field of multi-label textile fiber recognition. In this work, a graph relationship-driven method is proposed for the recognition of multi-label textile fibers. Based on the graph attention network, the proposed method introduces global relation graph, label coded mapping, and label compensation to equip the feature learning backbone with the relationship modeling ability. First, feature learning backbone extracts the semantic features from images, and global relation graph mines shallow representations of global label relationships from label embeddings. Then, label coded mapping combines these semantic features and global features to model joint relationships. The obtained joint representations constitute the label code, which is used to map the fiber class indices. Finally, label compensation further extracts the deep representations of global label relationships and utilizes them to compensate the fiber class indices to obtain final prediction scores. By employing experiments on a textile fiber dataset and a rearranged dataset, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method are validated. Further experiments on PASCAL VOC 2007 showcase the potential applications of the proposed method beyond textile fiber recognition.
