Learning representation carrying rich local information is essential for recognizing fine-grained objects. Existing methods to this task resort to multi-stage frameworks to capture fine-grained information. However, they usually require multiple forward passes of the backbone network, resulting in efficiency deterioration. In this paper, we propose Sequentially Diversified Networks (SDNs) that enrich representation by promoting their diversity while maintaining the extraction efficiency. Specifically, we construct multiple lightweight sub-networks to model mutually different scales of discriminative patterns. The design of these sub-networks follows the sequentially diversified constraint, encouraging them to be varied in spatial attention. By inserting these sub-networks into a single backbone network, SDNs enable information interaction among local regions of the fine-grained image. In this way, SDNs jointly promote diversity in terms of scale and spatial attention in the one-stage pipeline, thereby facilitating the learning of diversified representation efficiently. We evaluate our proposed method on three challenging datasets, namely CUB-200-2011, Stanford-Cars, and FGVC-Aircraft. Experiments demonstrate its effectiveness in learning diversified information. Moreover, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance, only requiring a single forward pass of the backbone network, which reduces inference time noticeably. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.
