DALG: Deep Attentive Local And Global Modeling For Image Retrieval

Abstract

Deeply learned representations have achieved superior image retrieval performance in a retrieve-then-rerank manner. Recent state-of-the-art single stage model, which heuristically fuses local and global features, achieves promising trade-off between efficiency and effectiveness. However, we notice that efficiency of existing solutions is still restricted because of their multi-scale inference paradigm. In this paper, we follow the single stage art and obtain further complexity-effectiveness balance by successfully getting rid of multi-scale testing. To achieve this goal, we abandon the widely-used convolution network giving its limitation in exploring diverse visual patterns, and resort to fully attention based framework for robust representation learning motivated by the success of Transformer. Besides applying Transformer for global feature extraction, we devise a local branch composed of window-based multi-head attention and spatial attention to fully exploit local image patterns. F
