In this paper, we propose a discrete roto-reflection group equivariant vision transformer with convolutional attention. Roto-reflection equivariant networks preserve the rotational, flip and positional symmetry in feature maps, making them useful for tasks where orientation of the inputs is relevant to the model outputs.

The paper introduces SAWRD-Net, a symmetry‑aware network for detecting water reflections. It uses dihedral group‑equivariant convolutions, a multi‑scale reflection equivariant block with symmetric attention, and a matrix‑decomposition decoder to regress keypoints on the reflection axis. On the largest water reflection dataset, SAWRD‑Net achieves a 0.890 true‑positive rate, surpassing existing detectors.
