In the family loss functions built on pair-based, most of them need to manually tune uniform thresholds between pairs to optimize the parameters of network. However, those hyper-parameters are fixed which is unreasonable for the reason that any two classes have different similarity. What’s more, it has to cost too much time and energy to tune the hyper-parameters for each task to find suitable values. Therefore, this paper proposes a novel loss named adaptive margin of triplet-center loss (AMTCL), which can learn a specific margin for a center of each class, while keep inter-class separateness, enhance the discriminative power of features and lighten our burden. Finally, the proposed AMTCL obtains state-of-the-art performance on four image retrieval benchmarks. Without whistle and blow, the proposed loss only need a few codes can be easily implemented in current network. |
