STD-Former: Image-Conditioned Texture Dictionary Encoding with Sparse Topological Supervision for Texture Recognition
ICML 2026poster
Texture recognition is often framed as matching an image to a static training-set dictionary or codebook. In practice, this assumption is brittle: label-preserving transformations (illumination, scale, compression, blur) can shift test features away from the fixed training dictionary, producing a tr…
