Current few-shot classification methods based on local descriptors primarily leverage underlying consistent features across visible and invisible classes, facing challenges including redundant neighboring information, noisy representations, and limited interpretability. This paper proposes a Feature Aligning Few-shot Learning Method Using Local Descriptors Weighted Rules (FAFD-LDWR). It innovatively introduces a cross-normalization method into few-shot image classification to preserve the discriminative information of local descriptors as much as possible; and enhances classification performance by aligning key local descriptors of support and query sets to remove background noise. FAFD-LDWR performs excellently on three benchmark datasets , outperforming state-of-the-art methods in both 1-shot and 5-shot settings. The designed visualization experiments also demonstrate FAFD-LDWR's improvement in prediction interpretability. ## 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]()
