Transformers are more and more popular in computer vision, which treat an image as a sequence of patches and learn robust global features from the sequence. However, a suitable vehicle re-identification method should consider both robust global features and discriminative local features. In this paper, we propose a graph interactive transformer (GiT) for vehicle re-identification. On the whole, we stack multiple GiT blocks to build a competitive vehicle re-identification model, in where each GiT block employs a novel local correlation graph (LCG) module to extract discriminative local features within patches and uses a transformer layer to extract robust global features among patches. In detail, in the current GiT block, the LCG module learns local features from local and global features resulting from the LCG module and transformer layer of the previous GiT block. Similarly, the transformer layer learns global features from the global features generated by the transformer layer of the previous GiT block and the new local features outputted via the LCG module of the current GiT block. Therefore, LCG modules and transformer layers are in a coupled status, bringing effective cooperation between local and global features. This is the first work to combine graphs and transformers for vehicle re-identification to the best of our knowledge. Extensive experiments on three large-scale vehicle re-identification datasets demonstrate that our method is superior to state-of-the-art approaches. The code will be available soon.

Existing vehicle re-identification methods commonly use spatial pooling operations to aggregate feature maps extracted via off-the-shelf backbone networks. They ignore exploring the spatial significance of feature maps, eventually degrading the vehic le re-identification performance. In this paper, firstly, an innovative spatial graph network (SGN) is proposed to elaborately explore the spatial significance of feature maps. The SGN stacks multiple spatial graphs (SGs). Each SG assigns feature maps elements as nodes and utilizes spatial neighborhood relationships to determine edges among nodes. During the SGNs propagation, each node and its spatial neighbors on an SG are aggregated to the next SG. On the next SG, each aggregated node is re-weighted with a learnable parameter to find the significance at the corresponding location. Secondly, a novel pyramidal graph network (PGN) is designed to comprehensively explore the spatial significance of feature maps at multiple scales. The PGN organizes multiple SGNs in a pyramidal manner and makes each SGN handles feature maps of a specific scale. Finally, a hybrid pyramidal graph network (HPGN) is developed by embedding the PGN behind a ResNet-50 based backbone network. Extensive experiments on three large scale vehicle databases (i.e., VeRi776, VehicleID, and VeRi-Wild) demonstrate that the proposed HPGN is superior to state-of-the-art vehicle re-identification approaches.
Vehicle re-identification plays a crucial role in the management of transportation infrastructure and traffic flow. However, this is a challenging task due to the large view-point variations in appearance, environmental and instance-related factors. Modern systems deploy CNNs to produce unique representations from the images of each vehicle instance. Most work focuses on leveraging new losses and network architectures to improve the descriptiveness of these representations. In contrast, our work concentrates on re-ranking and embedding expansion techniques. We propose an efficient approach for combining the outputs of multiple models at various scales while exploiting tracklet and neighbor information, called dual embedding expansion (DEx). Additionally, a comparative study of several common image retrieval techniques is presented in the context of vehicle re-ID. Our system yields competitive performance in the 2020 NVIDIA AI City Challenge with promising results. We demonstrate that DEx when combined with other re-ranking techniques, can produce an even larger gain without any additional attribute labels or manual supervision.
Vehicle Re-Identification (Re-ID) aims to identify the same vehicle across different cameras, hence plays an important role in modern traffic management systems. The technical challenges require the algorithms must be robust in different views, resol ution, occlusion and illumination conditions. In this paper, we first analyze the main factors hindering the Vehicle Re-ID performance. We then present our solutions, specifically targeting the dataset Track 2 of the 5th AI City Challenge, including (1) reducing the domain gap between real and synthetic data, (2) network modification by stacking multi heads with attention mechanism, (3) adaptive loss weight adjustment. Our method achieves 61.34% mAP on the private CityFlow testset without using external dataset or pseudo labeling, and outperforms all previous works at 87.1% mAP on the Veri benchmark.

The crucial problem in vehicle re-identification is to find the same vehicle identity when reviewing this object from cross-view cameras, which sets a higher demand for learning viewpoint-invariant representations. In this paper, we propose to solve this problem from two aspects: constructing robust feature representations and proposing camera-sensitive evaluations. We first propose a novel Heterogeneous Relational Complement Network (HRCN) by incorporating region-specific features and cross-level features as complements for the original high-level output. Considering the distributional differences and semantic misalignment, we propose graph-based relation modules to embed these heterogeneous features into one unified high-dimensional space. On the other hand, considering the deficiencies of cross-camera evaluations in existing measures (i.e., CMC and AP), we then propose a Cross-camera Generalization Measure (CGM) to improve the evaluations by introducing position-sensitivity and cross-camera generalization penalties. We further construct a new benchmark of existing models with our proposed CGM and experimental results reveal that our proposed HRCN model achieves new state-of-the-art in VeRi-776, VehicleID, and VERI-Wild.
Vehicle re-identification (reID) often requires recognize a target vehicle in large datasets captured from multi-cameras. It plays an important role in the automatic analysis of the increasing urban surveillance videos, which has become a hot topic i n recent years. However, the appearance of vehicle images is easily affected by the environment that various illuminations, different backgrounds and viewpoints, which leads to the large bias between different cameras. To address this problem, this paper proposes a cross-camera adaptation framework (CCA), which smooths the bias by exploiting the common space between cameras for all samples. CCA first transfers images from multi-cameras into one camera to reduce the impact of the illumination and resolution, which generates the samples with the similar distribution. Then, to eliminate the influence of background and focus on the valuable parts, we propose an attention alignment network (AANet) to learn powerful features for vehicle reID. Specially, in AANet, the spatial transfer network with attention module is introduced to locate a series of the most discriminative regions with high-attention weights and suppress the background. Moreover, comprehensive experimental results have demonstrated that our proposed CCA can achieve excellent performances on benchmark datasets VehicleID and VeRi-776.
