Feature representation and metric learning are two critical components in person re-identification models. In this paper, we focus on the feature representation and claim that hand-crafted histogram features can be complementary to Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) features. We propose a novel feature extraction model called Feature Fusion Net (FFN) for pedestrian image representation. In FFN, back propagation makes CNN features constrained by the handcrafted features. Utilizing color histogram features (RGB, HSV, YCbCr, Lab and YIQ) and texture features (multi-scale and multi-orientation Gabor features), we get a new deep feature representation that is more discriminative and compact. Experiments on three challenging datasets (VIPeR, CUHK01, PRID450s) validates the effectiveness of our proposal.
Person re-identification addresses the problem of matching pedestrian images across disjoint camera views. Design of feature descriptor and distance metric learning are the two fundamental tasks in person re-identification. In this paper, we propose a metric learning framework for person re-identification, where the discriminative metric space is learned using Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis (KFDA), to simultaneously maximize the inter-class variance as well as minimize the intra-class variance. We derive a Mahalanobis metric induced by KFDA and argue that KFDA is efficient to be applied f…

Person re-identification is becoming a hot research for developing both machine learning algorithms and video surveillance applications. The task of person re-identification is to determine which person in a gallery has the same identity to a probe image. This task basically assumes that the subject of the probe image belongs to the gallery, that is, the gallery contains this person. However, in practical applications such as searching a suspect in a video, this assumption is usually not true. In this paper, we consider the open-set person re-identification problem, which includes two sub-task…
The attention mechanism is widely used in deep learning because of its excellent performance in neural networks without introducing additional information. However, in unsupervised person re-identification, the attention module represented by multi-headed self-attention suffers from attention spreading in the condition of non-ground truth. To solve this problem, we design pixel-level attention module to provide constraints for multi-headed self-attention. Meanwhile, for the trait that the identification targets of person re-identification data are all pedestrians in the samples, we design doma…
Person identification in the wild is very challenging due to great variation in poses, face quality, clothes, makeup and so on. Traditional research, such as face recognition, person re-identification, and speaker recognition, often focuses on a single modal of information, which is inadequate to handle all the situations in practice. Multi-modal person identification is a more promising way that we can jointly utilize face, head, body, audio features, and so on. In this paper, we introduce iQIYI-VID, the largest video dataset for multi-modal person identification. It is composed of 600K video…
Person search is to detect all persons and identify the query persons from detected persons in the image without proposals and bounding boxes, which is different from person re-identification. In this paper, we propose a fusing multi-task convolutional neural network(FMT-CNN) to tackle the correlation and heterogeneity of detection and re-identification with a single convolutional neural network. We focus on how the interplay of person detection and person re-identification affects the overall performance. We employ person labels in region proposal network to produce features for person re-ide…
Recently privacy concerns of person re-identification (ReID) raise more and more attention and preserving the privacy of the pedestrian images used by ReID methods become essential. De-identification (DeID) methods alleviate privacy issues by removing the identity-related of the ReID data. However, most of the existing DeID methods tend to remove all personal identity-related information and compromise the usability of de-identified data on the ReID task. In this paper, we aim to develop a technique that can achieve a good trade-off between privacy protection and data usability for person ReID…

Holistic person re-identification (ReID) has received extensive study in the past few years and achieves impressive progress. However, persons are often occluded by obstacles or other persons in practical scenarios, which makes partial person re-identification non-trivial. In this paper, we propose a spatial-channel parallelism network (SCPNet) in which each channel in the ReID feature pays attention to a given spatial part of the body. The spatial-channel corresponding relationship supervises the network to learn discriminative feature for both holistic and partial person re-identification. T…
Ideally person re-identification seeks for perfect feature representation and metric model that re-identify all various pedestrians well in non-overlapping views at different locations with different camera configurations, which is very challenging. However, in most pedestrian sets, there always are some outstanding persons who are relatively easy to re-identify. Inspired by the existence of such data division, we propose a novel key person aided person re-identification framework based on the re-defined partially ordered pedestrian sets. The outstanding persons, namely "key persons", are sele…
Person re-identification aims to associate images of the same person over multiple non-overlapping camera views at different times. Depending on the human operator, manual re-identification in large camera networks is highly time consuming and erroneous. Automated person re-identification is required due to the extensive quantity of visual data produced by rapid inflation of large scale distributed multi-camera systems. The state-of-the-art works focus on learning and factorize person appearance features into latent discriminative factors at multiple semantic levels. We propose Deep Parallel F…
The task of person re-identification (ReID) is to match images of the same person over multiple non-overlapping camera views. Due to the variations in visual factors, previous works have investigated how the person identity, body parts, and attributes benefit the person ReID problem. However, the correlations between attributes, body parts, and within each attribute are not fully utilized. In this paper, we propose a new method to effectively aggregate detailed person descriptions (attributes labels) and visual features (body parts and global features) into a graph, namely Graph-based Person S…
Learning semantic attributes for person re-identification and description-based person search has gained increasing interest due to attributes' great potential as a pose and view-invariant representation. However, existing attribute-centric approaches have thus far underperformed state-of-the-art conventional approaches. This is due to their non-scalable need for extensive domain (camera) specific annotation. In this paper we present a new semantic attribute learning approach for person re-identification and search. Our model is trained on existing fashion photography datasets -- either weakly…

In this work, we present a Multi-Channel deep convolutional Pyramid Person Matching Network (MC-PPMN) based on the combination of the semantic-components and the color-texture distributions to address the problem of person re-identification. In particular, we learn separate deep representations for semantic-components and color-texture distributions from two person images and then employ pyramid person matching network (PPMN) to obtain correspondence representations. These correspondence representations are fused to perform the re-identification task. Further, the proposed framework is optimiz…

We address the person re-identification problem by effectively exploiting a globally discriminative feature representation from a sequence of tracked human regions/patches. This is in contrast to previous person re-id works, which rely on either single frame based person to person patch matching, or graph based sequence to sequence matching. We show that a progressive/sequential fusion framework based on long short term memory (LSTM) network aggregates the frame-wise human region representation at each time stamp and yields a sequence level human feature representation. Since LSTM nodes can re…

Person re-identification aims to robustly measure similarities between person images. The significant variation of person poses and viewing angles challenges for accurate person re-identification. The spatial layout and correspondences between query person images are vital information for tackling this problem but are ignored by most state-of-the-art methods. In this paper, we propose a novel Kronecker Product Matching module to match feature maps of different persons in an end-to-end trainable deep neural network. A novel feature soft warping scheme is designed for aligning the feature maps b…
Inspired by the effectiveness of adversarial training in the area of Generative Adversarial Networks we present a new approach for learning feature representations in person re-identification. We investigate different types of bias that typically occur in re-ID scenarios, i.e., pose, body part and camera view, and propose a general approach to address them. We introduce an adversarial strategy for controlling bias, named Bias-controlled Adversarial framework (BCA), with two complementary branches to reduce or to enhance bias-related features. The results and comparison to the state of the art …

This paper presents a novel approach for video-based person re-identification using multiple Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Unlike previous work, we intend to extract a compact yet discriminative appearance representation from several frames rather than the whole sequence. Specifically, given a video, the representative frames are selected based on the walking profile of consecutive frames. A multiple CNN architecture incorporated with feature pooling is proposed to learn and compile the features of the selected representative frames into a compact description about the pedestrian for i…
Person Re-Identification is still a challenging task in Computer Vision due to a variety of reasons. On the other side, Incremental Learning is still an issue since deep learning models tend to face the problem of over catastrophic forgetting when trained on subsequent tasks. In this paper, we propose a model that can be used for multiple tasks in Person Re-Identification, provide state-of-the-art results on a variety of tasks and still achieve considerable accuracy subsequently. We evaluated our model on two datasets Market 1501 and Duke MTMC. Extensive experiments show that this method can a…
Person re-identification in a multi-camera environment is an important part of modern surveillance systems. Person re-identification from color images has been the focus of much active research, due to the numerous challenges posed with such analysis tasks, such as variations in illumination, pose and viewpoints. In this paper, we suggest that hyperspectral imagery has the potential to provide unique information that is expected to be beneficial for the re-identification task. Specifically, we assert that by accurately characterizing the unique spectral signature for each person's skin, hypers…

We consider the problem of video-based person re-identification. The goal is to identify a person from videos captured under different cameras. In this paper, we propose an efficient spatial-temporal attention based model for person re-identification from videos. Our method generates an attention score for each frame based on frame-level features. The attention scores of all frames in a video are used to produce a weighted feature vector for the input video. Unlike most existing deep learning methods that use global representation, our approach focuses on attention scores. Extensive experiment…

Person re-identification consists in recognizing an individual that has already been observed over a network of cameras. It is a novel and challenging research topic in computer vision, for which no reference framework exists yet. Despite this, previous works share similar representations of human body based on part decomposition and the implicit concept of multiple instances. Building on these similarities, we propose a Multiple Component Matching (MCM) framework for the person re-identification problem, which is inspired by Multiple Component Learning, a framework recently proposed for objec…

We propose an effective structured learning based approach to the problem of person re-identification which outperforms the current state-of-the-art on most benchmark data sets evaluated. Our framework is built on the basis of multiple low-level hand-crafted and high-level visual features. We then formulate two optimization algorithms, which directly optimize evaluation measures commonly used in person re-identification, also known as the Cumulative Matching Characteristic (CMC) curve. Our new approach is practical to many real-world surveillance applications as the re-identification performan…

Most person re-identification (ReID) approaches assume that person images are captured under relatively similar illumination conditions. In reality, long-term person retrieval is common, and person images are often captured under different illumination conditions at different times across a day. In this situation, the performances of existing ReID models often degrade dramatically. This paper addresses the ReID problem with illumination variations and names it as {\em Illumination-Adaptive Person Re-identification (IA-ReID)}. We propose an Illumination-Identity Disentanglement (IID) network to…
Person re-identification becomes a more and more important task due to its wide applications. In practice, person re-identification still remains challenging due to the variation of person pose, different lighting, occlusion, misalignment, background clutter, etc. In this paper, we propose a multi-scale body-part mask guided attention network (MMGA), which jointly learns whole-body and part body attention to help extract global and local features simultaneously. In MMGA, body-part masks are used to guide the training of corresponding attention. Experiments show that our proposed method can red…

We present a novel large-scale dataset and comprehensive baselines for end-to-end pedestrian detection and person recognition in raw video frames. Our baselines address three issues: the performance of various combinations of detectors and recognizers, mechanisms for pedestrian detection to help improve overall re-identification accuracy and assessing the effectiveness of different detectors for re-identification. We make three distinct contributions. First, a new dataset, PRW, is introduced to evaluate Person Re-identification in the Wild, using videos acquired through six synchronized camera…

Pose variation is one of the key factors which prevents the network from learning a robust person re-identification (Re-ID) model. To address this issue, we propose a novel person pose-guided image generation method, which is called the semantic attention network. The network consists of several semantic attention blocks, where each block attends to preserve and update the pose code and the clothing textures. The introduction of the binary segmentation mask and the semantic parsing is important for seamlessly stitching foreground and background in the pose-guided image generation. Compared wit…
Person re-identification (re-ID) aims to identify the same person of interest across non-overlapping capturing cameras, which plays an important role in visual surveillance applications and computer vision research areas. Fitting a robust appearance-based representation extractor with limited collected training data is crucial for person re-ID due to the high expanse of annotating the identity of unlabeled data. In this work, we propose a Stronger Baseline for person re-ID, an enhancement version of the current prevailing method, namely, Strong Baseline, with tiny modifications but a faster co…

Person re-identification across disjoint camera views has been widely applied in video surveillance yet it is still a challenging problem. One of the major challenges lies in the lack of spatial and temporal cues, which makes it difficult to deal with large variations of lighting conditions, viewing angles, body poses and occlusions. Recently, several deep learning based person re-identification approaches have been proposed and achieved remarkable performance. However, most of those approaches extract discriminative features from the whole frame at one glimpse without differentiating various …

Human gait is considered a unique biometric identifier which can be acquired in a covert manner at a distance. However, models trained on existing public domain gait datasets which are captured in controlled scenarios lead to drastic performance decline when applied to real-world unconstrained gait data. On the other hand, video person re-identification techniques have achieved promising performance on large-scale publicly available datasets. Given the diversity of clothing characteristics, clothing cue is not reliable for person recognition in general. So, it is actually not clear why the sta…
Despite recent attempts for solving the person re-identification problem, it remains a challenging task since a person's appearance can vary significantly when large variations in view angle, human pose, and illumination are involved. In this paper, we propose a novel approach based on using a gradient-based attention mechanism in deep convolution neural network for solving the person re-identification problem. Our model learns to focus selectively on parts of the input image for which the networks' output is most sensitive to and processes them with high resolution while perceiving the surrou…
Person search is an extended task of person re-identification (Re-ID). However, most existing one-step person search works have not studied how to employ existing advanced Re-ID models to boost the one-step person search performance due to the integration of person detection and Re-ID. To address this issue, we propose a faster and stronger one-step person search framework, the Teacher-guided Disentangling Networks (TDN), to make the one-step person search enjoy the merits of the existing Re-ID researches. The proposed TDN can significantly boost the person search performance by transferring t…
Partial person re-identification involves matching pedestrian frames where only a part of a body is visible in corresponding images. This reflects practical CCTV surveillance scenario, where full person views are often not available. Missing body parts make the comparison very challenging due to significant misalignment and varying scale of the views. We propose Partial Matching Net (PMN) that detects body joints, aligns partial views and hallucinates the missing parts based on the information present in the frame and a learned model of a person. The aligned and reconstructed views are then co…

Multi-branch is extensively studied for learning rich feature representation for person re-identification (Re-ID). In this paper, we propose a branch-cooperative architecture over OSNet, termed BC-OSNet, for person Re-ID. By stacking four cooperative branches, namely, a global branch, a local branch, a relational branch and a contrastive branch, we obtain powerful feature representation for person Re-ID. Extensive experiments show that the proposed BC-OSNet achieves state-of-art performance on the three popular datasets, including Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and CUHK03. In particular, it achiev…
We introduce an adaptive L2 regularization mechanism in the setting of person re-identification. In the literature, it is common practice to utilize hand-picked regularization factors which remain constant throughout the training procedure. Unlike existing approaches, the regularization factors in our proposed method are updated adaptively through backpropagation. This is achieved by incorporating trainable scalar variables as the regularization factors, which are further fed into a scaled hard sigmoid function. Extensive experiments on the Market-1501, DukeMTMC-reID and MSMT17 datasets valida…
The recent person re-identification research has achieved great success by learning from a large number of labeled person images. On the other hand, the learned models often experience significant performance drops when applied to images collected in a different environment. Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has been investigated to mitigate this constraint, but most existing systems adapt images at pixel level only and ignore obvious discrepancies at spatial level. This paper presents an innovative UDA-based person re-identification network that is capable of adapting images at both spatia…

Person re-identification (re-ID) in first-person (egocentric) vision is a fairly new and unexplored problem. With the increase of wearable video recording devices, egocentric data becomes readily available, and person re-identification has the potential to benefit greatly from this. However, there is a significant lack of large scale structured egocentric datasets for person re-identification, due to the poor video quality and lack of individuals in most of the recorded content. Although a lot of research has been done in person re-identification based on fixed surveillance cameras, these do n…

For long time, person re-identification and image search are two separately studied tasks. However, for person re-identification, the effectiveness of local features and the "query-search" mode make it well posed for image search techniques. In the light of recent advances in image search, this paper proposes to treat person re-identification as an image search problem. Specifically, this paper claims two major contributions. 1) By designing an unsupervised Bag-of-Words representation, we are devoted to bridging the gap between the two tasks by integrating techniques from image search in perso…

Person re-identification aims to re-identify the probe image from a given set of images under different camera views. It is challenging due to large variations of pose, illumination, occlusion and camera view. Since the convolutional neural networks (CNN) have excellent capability of feature extraction, certain deep learning methods have been recently applied in person re-identification. However, in person re-identification, the deep networks often suffer from the over-fitting problem. In this paper, we propose a novel CNN-based method to learn a discriminative metric with good robustness to t…

This paper presents a novel person re-identification model, named Multi-Head Self-Attention Network (MHSA-Net), to prune unimportant information and capture key local information from person images. MHSA-Net contains two main novel components: Multi-Head Self-Attention Branch (MHSAB) and Attention Competition Mechanism (ACM). The MHSAB adaptively captures key local person information, and then produces effective diversity embeddings of an image for the person matching. The ACM further helps filter out attention noise and non-key information. Through extensive ablation studies, we verified that…
Person re-identification (ReID) is an important task in computer vision. Recently, deep learning with a metric learning loss has become a common framework for ReID. In this paper, we also propose a new metric learning loss with hard sample mining called margin smaple mining loss (MSML) which can achieve better accuracy compared with other metric learning losses, such as triplet loss. In experi- ments, our proposed methods outperforms most of the state-of-the-art algorithms on Market1501, MARS, CUHK03 and CUHK-SYSU.

Most existing person re-identification algorithms either extract robust visual features or learn discriminative metrics for person images. However, the underlying manifold which those images reside on is rarely investigated. That raises a problem that the learned metric is not smooth with respect to the local geometry structure of the data manifold. In this paper, we study person re-identification with manifold-based affinity learning, which did not receive enough attention from this area. An unconventional manifold-preserving algorithm is proposed, which can 1) make the best use of supervisio…
Person Re-Identification (Re-ID) is an important problem in computer vision-based surveillance applications, in which one aims to identify a person across different surveillance photographs taken from different cameras having varying orientations and field of views. Due to the increasing demand for intelligent video surveillance, Re-ID has gained significant interest in the computer vision community. In this work, we experiment on some existing Re-ID methods that obtain state of the art performance in some open benchmarks. We qualitatively and quantitaively analyse their performance on a provi…
Training a deep architecture using a ranking loss has become standard for the person re-identification task. Increasingly, these deep architectures include additional components that leverage part detections, attribute predictions, pose estimators and other auxiliary information, in order to more effectively localize and align discriminative image regions. In this paper we adopt a different approach and carefully design each component of a simple deep architecture and, critically, the strategy for training it effectively for person re-identification. We extensively evaluate each design choice,…
The task of person re-identification has recently received rising attention due to the high performance achieved by new methods based on deep learning. In particular, in the context of video-based re-identification, many state-of-the-art works have explored the use of Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) to process input sequences. In this work, we revisit this tool by deriving an approximation which reveals the small effect of recurrent connections, leading to a much simpler feed-forward architecture. Using the same parameters as the recurrent version, our proposed feed-forward architecture obtai…

It merges the best working practices of network architectures like MobileNets and ResNets to our named RMNet architecture. We also focus on key moments of building mobile architectures to carry out in the limited computation budget. Additionally, to demonstrate the effectiveness of our architecture we evaluate the RMNet backbone on Person Re-identification task. The proposed approach is in top 3 of state of the art solutions on Market-1501 challenge, however our method significantly ou…
Person Re-Identification (re-id) is a challenging task in computer vision, especially when there are limited training data from multiple camera views. In this paper, we pro- pose a deep learning based person re-identification method by transferring knowledge of mid-level attribute features and high-level classification features. Building on the idea that identity classification, attribute recognition and re- identification share the same mid-level semantic representations, they can be trained sequentially by fine-tuning one based on another. In our framework, we train identity classification a…
Deep neural networks have been successfully applied to solving the video-based person re-identification problem with impressive results reported. The existing networks for person re-id are designed to extract discriminative features that preserve the identity information. Usually, whole video frames are fed into the neural networks and all the regions in a frame are equally treated. This may be a suboptimal choice because many regions, e.g., background regions in the video, are not related to the person. Furthermore, the person of interest may be occluded by another person or something else. T…
Most existing person re-identification methods compute the matching relations between person images across camera views based on the ranking of the pairwise similarities. This matching strategy with the lack of the global viewpoint and the context's consideration inevitably leads to ambiguous matching results and sub-optimal performance. Based on a natural assumption that images belonging to the same person identity should not match with images belonging to multiple different person identities across views, called the unicity of person matching on the identity level, we propose an end-to-end p…

Recently, many methods of person re-identification (Re-ID) rely on part-based feature representation to learn a discriminative pedestrian descriptor. However, the spatial context between these parts is ignored for the independent extractor to each separate part. In this paper, we propose to apply Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) in an end-to-end way to model the pedestrian, seen as a sequence of body parts from head to foot. Integrating the contextual information strengthens the discriminative ability of local representation. We also leverage the complementary information between local and global…
The person re-identification (Re-ID) task requires to robustly extract feature representations for person images. Recently, part-based representation models have been widely studied for extracting the more compact and robust feature representations for person images to improve person Re-ID results. However, existing part-based representation models mostly extract the features of different parts independently which ignore the relationship information between different parts. To overcome this limitation, in this paper we propose a novel deep learning framework, named Part-based Hierarchical Grap…

Most existing person re-identification (Re-ID) approaches follow a supervised learning framework, in which a large number of labelled matching pairs are required for training. Such a setting severely limits their scalability in real-world applications where no labelled samples are available during the training phase. To overcome this limitation, we develop a novel unsupervised Multi-task Mid-level Feature Alignment (MMFA) network for the unsupervised cross-dataset person re-identification task. Under the assumption that the source and target datasets share the same set of mid-level semantic at…
