Dense correspondence across semantically related images has been extensively studied, but still faces two challenges: 1) large variations in appearance, scale and pose exist even for objects from the same category, and 2) labeling…
Domain-specific variants of contrastive learning can construct positive pairs from two distinct in-domain images, while traditional methods just augment the same image twice. For example, we can form a positive pair from two satellite…
