FARR: An efficient frozen-feature learning framework for wood species identification with applications to texture recognition
摘要
The scarcity of high-value timber and the rise of market fraud highlight the need for efficient wood species identification. Existing methods, including X-ray–based deep learning approaches, remain constrained by low training efficiency and limited dataset sizes, and frequently suffer from severe overfitting in small-sample scenarios. This paper presents the FARR framework, a frozen-feature learning paradigm that integrates multi-block feature aggregation, SE-enhanced residual connections, and randomized autoencoders to better utilize pre-trained representations under small-sample and limited training resource conditions. The proposed cross-layer feature optimization mechanism effectively addresses the lack of hierarchical complementarity, feature enhancement, and robustness in existing frozen-feature methods. Experiments show that FARR achieves 99.86% accuracy and improves training efficiency by 20–68
