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 remember and propagate previously accumulated good features and forget newly input inferior ones, even with simple hand-crafted features, the proposed recurrent feature aggregation network (RFA-Net) is effective in generating highly discriminative sequence level human representations. Extensive experimental results on two person re-identification benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed method performs favorably against state-of-the-art person re-identification methods.

Video-based person re-identification (reID) aims at matching the same person across video clips. It is a challenging task due to the existence of redundancy among frames, newly revealed appearance, occlusion, and motion blurs. In this paper, we propose an attentive feature aggregation module, namely Multi-Granularity Reference-aided Attentive Feature Aggregation (MG-RAFA), to delicately aggregate spatio-temporal features into a discriminative video-level feature representation. In order to determine the contribution/importance of a spatial-temporal feature node, we propose to learn the attention from a global view with convolutional operations. Specifically, we stack its relations, i.e., pairwise correlations with respect to a representative set of reference feature nodes (S-RFNs) that represents global video information, together with the feature itself to infer the attention. Moreover, to exploit the semantics of different levels, we propose to learn multi-granularity attentions based on the relations captured at different granularities. Extensive ablation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of our attentive feature aggregation module MG-RAFA. Our framework achieves the state-of-the-art performance on three benchmark datasets.
Video-based person re-identification has drawn massive attention in recent years due to its extensive applications in video surveillance. While deep learning-based methods have led to significant progress, these methods are limited by ineffectively using complementary information, which is blamed on necessary data augmentation in the training process. Data augmentation has been widely used to mitigate the over-fitting trap and improve the ability of network representation. However, the previous methods adopt image-based data augmentation scheme to individually process the input frames, which corrupts the complementary information between consecutive frames and causes performance degradation. Extensive experiments on three benchmark datasets demonstrate that our framework outperforms the most recent state-of-the-art methods. We also perform cross-dataset validation to prove the generality of our method.
Person re-identification (reID) benefits greatly from deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) which learn robust feature embeddings. However, CNNs are inherently limited in modeling the large variations in person pose and scale due to their fixed geometric structures. In this paper, we propose a novel network structure, Interaction-and-Aggregation (IA), to enhance the feature representation capability of CNNs. Firstly, Spatial IA (SIA) module is introduced. It models the interdependencies between spatial features and then aggregates the correlated features corresponding to the same body parts. Unlike CNNs which extract features from fixed rectangle regions, SIA can adaptively determine the receptive fields according to the input person pose and scale. Secondly, we introduce Channel IA (CIA) module which selectively aggregates channel features to enhance the feature representation, especially for smallscale visual cues. Further, IA network can be constructed by inserting IA blocks into CNNs at any depth. We validate the effectiveness of our model for person reID by demonstrating its superiority over state-of-the-art methods on three benchmark datasets.
Recently, with the advance of deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), person Re-Identification (Re-ID) has witnessed great success in various applications. However, with limited receptive fields of CNNs, it is still challenging to extract discriminative representations in a global view for persons under non-overlapped cameras. Meanwhile, Transformers demonstrate strong abilities of modeling long-range dependencies for spatial and sequential data. In this work, we take advantages of both CNNs and Transformers, and propose a novel learning framework named Hierarchical Aggregation Transformer (HAT) for image-based person Re-ID with high performance. To achieve this goal, we first propose a Deeply Supervised Aggregation (DSA) to recurrently aggregate hierarchical features from CNN backbones. With multi-granularity supervisions, the DSA can enhance multi-scale features for person retrieval, which is very different from previous methods. Then, we introduce a Transformer-based Feature Calibration (TFC) to integrate low-level detail information as the global prior for high-level semantic information. The proposed TFC is inserted to each level of hierarchical features, resulting in great performance improvements. To our best knowledge, this work is the first to take advantages of both CNNs and Transformers for image-based person Re-ID. Comprehensive experiments on four large-scale Re-ID benchmarks demonstrate that our method shows better results than several state-of-the-art methods. The code is released at https://github.com/AI-Zhpp/HAT.
Person re-identification (reID) plays an important role in computer vision. However, existing methods suffer from performance degradation in occluded scenes. In this work, we propose an occlusion-robust block, Region Feature Completion (RFC), for occluded reID. Different from most previous works that discard the occluded regions, RFC block can recover the semantics of occluded regions in feature space. Firstly, a Spatial RFC (SRFC) module is developed. SRFC exploits the long-range spatial contexts from non-occluded regions to predict the features of occluded regions. The unit-wise prediction task leads to an encoder/decoder architecture, where the region-encoder models the correlation between non-occluded and occluded region, and the region-decoder utilizes the spatial correlation to recover occluded region features. Secondly, we introduce Temporal RFC (TRFC) module which captures the long-term temporal contexts to refine the prediction of SRFC. RFC block is lightweight, end-to-end trainable and can be easily plugged into existing CNNs to form RFCnet. Extensive experiments are conducted on occluded and commonly holistic reID benchmarks. Our method significantly outperforms existing methods on the occlusion datasets, while remains top even superior performance on holistic datasets.
