Project page

Python 3.6, Pytorch 0.4.1, Torchvision, tensorboard

Default setting:

• Architecture: ResNet-50
• Dataset: CUB2011 or Cars-196 retrieval
• Batch size: 40
• Image size: 224X224

The dataset path should be changed to your own path.

CUB2011-200 dataset are available on https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hbzc_P1FuxMkcabkgn9ZKinBwW683j45/view

Cars-196 dataset are available on https://ai.stanford.edu/~jkrause/cars/car_dataset.html

The dataset path(data_dir='/home/ro/FG/CUB_200_2011/pytorch') should be changed to your own path.

train_CUB.py --dataset CUB-200 --max_f 0.4 --min_f 2

In the case of Cars-196 retrieval dataset training,

train_CUB.py --dataset Cars-196 --max_f 0.4 --min_f 2
