- Abstract
Recent empirical works reveal that visual representation learned by deep neural networks can be successfully used as descriptors for image retrieval. A common technique is to leverage pre-trained models to learn visual descriptors by ranking losses and fine-tuning with labeled data. However, retrieval systems' performance significantly decreases when querying images of lower resolution than the training images. This study considered a contrastive learning framework fine-tuned on features extracted from a pre-trained neural network encoder equipped with an attention mechanism to address the image retrieval task for low-resolution image retrieval. Our method is simple yet effective since the contrastive learning framework drives similar samples close to each other in feature space by manipulating variants of their augmentations. To benchmark the proposed framework, we conducted quantitative and qualitative analyses of CARS196 (mAP = 0.8804), CUB200-2011 (mAP = 0.9379), and Stanford Online Products datasets (mAP = 0.9141) and analyzed their performances.
