Abstract: Due to the limited samples of footprint data and its high similarity between types and large gap within a type, there is no effective method to express footprint data and classify footprint. In order to solve the problem of bimodal footprint classification, the multiple-module relation network (MulRN) based on few-shot learning was proposed in this paper. Multiple modules were applied in the algorithm to improve the ability of extraction and mea-surement of characters. Inception module and MRFB module which possess a multi-branch structure were used to improve the character extraction ability. Spatial Attention Module (SAM) and Channel Attention Module (CAM) were adopted to extract the character of footprint with high discrimination for accurate classification. Also, experiments were carried out on few-shot data sets such as miniImageNet, Omniglot and bimodal 2D footprint data sets. Experimental results show that the proposed method is effective for few-shot data sets and bimodal 2D footprint data sets. It is worth mentioning that the accuracy of 5-way 5-shot experiment on bimodal data sets of right foot is up to 95.41%.
