Abstract:

The generalization of Euclidean network paradigm to the Riemannian manifolds has attracted much attention for offering useful geometric representations in processing manifold-valued data in recent years. However, the information degradation during data compression mapping hinders Riemannian networks from going deeper, and there are very few solutions specifically designed for this problem. Given the remarkable success of deep Residual learning in Euclidean networks, a novel Riemannian residual learning mechanism (RRLM) is proposed in the context of Symmetric Positive Definite (SPD) manifolds, enabling the characterization of deep spatiotemporal features while preserving the manifold properties. Based on RRLM, a stack of SPD manifold-constrained residual-like blocks is designed on the tail of the original SPDNet(backbone) for the sake of conducting deep Riemannian residual learning. For simplicity, we refer to the network architecture introduced above as Riemannian residual SPD network (ResSPDNet). The experimental results achieved on three types of visual classification tasks, i.e., facial emotion recognition, drone recognition, and action recognition, demonstrate that our method can achieve improved accuracy with a deepened network structure.
