Fine-grained bird image classification (FBIC) is not only meaningful for endangered bird observation and protection but also a prevalent task for image classification in multimedia processing and computer vision. However, FBIC suffers from several challenges, such as bird molting, complex background, and arbitrary bird posture. To effectively tackle these challenges, we present a novel invariant cues-aware feature concentration Transformer (TransIFC), which learns invariant and core information in bird images. To this end, two novel modules are proposed to leverage the characteristics of bird ...
