Abstract
This article focuses on the challenge of classifying bronze inscription rubbings, which have a limited number of samples and diverse characteristics. Traditional classification methods have failed to produce satisfactory results. With the emergence of meta-learning, few-shot image classification has become a popular research topic. This approach allows a classifier to recognize datasets outside the training set and complete classification with only a small number of samples. However, due to the existence of multiple categories in the ancient inscription dataset and the tendency for overfitting, existing prototype network structures have not achieved satisfactory prediction accuracy on ancient inscription datasets. To address this challenge, we propose two strategies. The first strategy is the Margin Prototype (MP), which expands the distribution of different class prototypes during the softmax operation. The second strategy is the global information optimization strategy (GioP), which reverses the prediction of support set samples to obtain more representative prototypes. Our proposed method achieves better accuracy without adding new parameters to the model. The end-to-end structural pattern remains unchanged.
