This paper studies the problem of Person Re-Identification (ReID)for large-scale applications. Recent research efforts have been devoted to building complicated part models, which introduce considerably high computational cost and memory consumption, inhibiting its practicability in large-scale applications. This paper aims to develop a novel learning strategy to find efficient feature embeddings while maintaining the balance of accuracy and model complexity. More specifically, we find by enhancing the classical triplet loss together with cross-entropy loss, our method can explore the hard examples and build a discriminant feature embedding yet compact enough for large-scale applications. Our method is carried out progressively using Bayesian optimization, and we call it the Progressive Learning Algorithm (PLA). Extensive experiments on three large-scale datasets show that our PLA is comparable or better than the-state-of-the-arts. Especially, on the challenging Market-1501 dataset, we achieve Rank-1=94.7%/mAP=89.4% while saving at least 30% parameters than strong part models.

Person re-identification (ReID) aims to match people across multiple non-overlapping video cameras deployed at different locations. To address this challenging problem, many metric learning approaches have been proposed, among which triplet loss is o ne of the state-of-the-arts. In this work, we explore the margin between positive and negative pairs of triplets and prove that large margin is beneficial. In particular, we propose a novel multi-stage training strategy which learns incremental triplet margin and improves triplet loss effectively. Multiple levels of feature maps are exploited to make the learned features more discriminative. Besides, we introduce global hard identity searching method to sample hard identities when generating a training batch. Extensive experiments on Market-1501, CUHK03, and DukeMTMCreID show that our approach yields a performance boost and outperforms most existing state-of-the-art methods.
Person re-identification (re-ID) requires one to match images of the same person across camera views. As a more challenging task, semi-supervised re-ID tackles the problem that only a number of identities in training data are fully labeled, while the remaining are unlabeled. Assuming that such labeled and unlabeled training data share disjoint identity labels, we propose a novel framework of Semantics-Guided Clustering with Deep Progressive Learning (SGC-DPL) to jointly exploit the above data. By advancing the proposed Semantics-Guided Affinity Propagation (SG-AP), we are able to assign pseudo-labels to selected unlabeled data in a progressive fashion, under the semantics guidance from the labeled ones. As a result, our approach is able to augment the labeled training data in the semi-supervised setting. Our experiments on two large-scale person re-ID benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our SGC-DPL over state-of-the-art methods across different degrees of supervision. In extension, the generalization ability of our SGC-DPL is also verified in other tasks like vehicle re-ID or image retrieval with the semi-supervised setting.
Visual attention has proven to be effective in improving the performance of person re-identification. Most existing methods apply visual attention heuristically by learning an additional attention map to re-weight the feature maps for person re-ident ification. However, this kind of methods inevitably increase the model complexity and inference time. In this paper, we propose to incorporate the attention learning as additional objectives in a person ReID network without changing the original structure, thus maintain the same inference time and model size. Two kinds of attentions have been considered to make the learned feature maps being aware of the person and related body parts respectively. Globally, a holistic attention branch (HAB) makes the feature maps obtained by backbone focus on persons so as to alleviate the influence of background. Locally, a partial attention branch (PAB) makes the extracted features be decoupled into several groups and be separately responsible for different body parts (i.e., keypoints), thus increasing the robustness to pose variation and partial occlusion. These two kinds of attentions are universal and can be incorporated into existing ReID networks. We have tested its performance on two typical networks (TriNet and Bag of Tricks) and observed significant performance improvement on five widely used datasets.
Recent years have witnessed a substantial increase in the deep learning (DL)architectures proposed for visual recognition tasks like person re-identification,where individuals must be recognized over multiple distributed cameras. Althoughthese archit ectures have greatly improved the state-of-the-art accuracy, thecomputational complexity of the CNNs commonly used for feature extractionremains an issue, hindering their deployment on platforms with limited resources,or in applications with real-time constraints. There is an obvious advantage toaccelerating and compressing DL models without significantly decreasing theiraccuracy. However, the source (pruning) domain differs from operational (target)domains, and the domain shift between image data captured with differentnon-overlapping camera viewpoints leads to lower recognition accuracy. In thispaper, we investigate the prunability of these architectures under different designscenarios. This paper first revisits pruning techniques that are suitable forreducing the computational complexity of deep CNN networks applied to personre-identification. Then, these techniques are analysed according to their pruningcriteria and strategy, and according to different scenarios for exploiting pruningmethods to fine-tuning networks to target domains. Experimental resultsobtained using DL models with ResNet feature extractors, and multiplebenchmarks re-identification datasets, indicate that pruning can considerablyreduce network complexity while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Inscenarios where pruning is performed with large pre-training or fine-tuningdatasets, the number of FLOPS required by ResNet architectures is reduced byhalf, while maintaining a comparable rank-1 accuracy (within 1% of the originalmodel). Pruning while training a larger CNNs can also provide a significantlybetter performance than fine-tuning smaller ones.
This paper addresses the problem of handling spatial misalignments due to camera-view changes or human-pose variations in person re-identification. We first introduce a boosting-based approach to learn a correspondence structure which indicates the p atch-wise matching probabilities between images from a target camera pair. The learned correspondence structure can not only capture the spatial correspondence pattern between cameras but also handle the viewpoint or human-pose variation in individual images. We further introduce a global constraint-based matching process. It integrates a global matching constraint over the learned correspondence structure to exclude cross-view misalignments during the image patch matching process, hence achieving a more reliable matching score between images. Finally, we also extend our approach by introducing a multi-structure scheme, which learns a set of local correspondence structures to capture the spatial correspondence sub-patterns between a camera pair, so as to handle the spatial misalignments between individual images in a more precise way. Experimental results on various datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
