However, the effectiveness depends on the powerful regularization ability of deep neural networks. Based on the assumption that the localization network should have similar location predictions on different versions of the same image, we propose a two-stage approach to learn more consistent localization. In the first stage, we propose a mask-based pseudo label generator algorithm, and use the pseudo-supervised learning method to initialize an object localization network. In the second stage, we propose a simple and effective method for evaluating the confidence of pseudo-labels based on classification discrimination, and by learning consistency from high-quality pseudo-labels, we further refine the localization network to get better localization performance. Experimental results show that our proposed approach achieves excellent performance in three benchmark datasets including CUB-200-2011, ImageNet-1k and Tiny-ImageNet, which demonstrates its effectiveness. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
