A Deep Four-Stream Siamese Convolutional Neural Network with Joint Verification and Identification Loss for Person Re-detection
State-of-the-art person re-identification systems that employ a triplet based
deep network suffer from a poor generalization capability. In this paper, we
propose a four stream Siamese deep convolutional neural network for person
redetection that jointly optimises verification and identification losses over
a four image input group. Specifically, the proposed method overcomes the
weakness of the typical triplet formulation by using groups of four images
featuring two matched (i.e. the same identity) and two mismatched images. This
allows us to jointly increase the interclass variations and reduce the
intra-class variations in the learned feature space. The proposed approach also
optimises over both the identification and verification losses, further
minimising intra-class variation and maximising inter-class variation,
improving overall performance. Extensive experiments on four challenging
datasets, VIPeR, CUHK01, CUHK03 and PRID2011, demonstrates that the proposed
approach achieves state-of-the-art performance.Comment: Published in WACV 201
Recurrent Attention Models for Depth-Based Person Identification
We present an attention-based model that reasons on human body shape and
motion dynamics to identify individuals in the absence of RGB information,
hence in the dark. Our approach leverages unique 4D spatio-temporal signatures
to address the identification problem across days. Formulated as a
reinforcement learning task, our model is based on a combination of
convolutional and recurrent neural networks with the goal of identifying small,
discriminative regions indicative of human identity. We demonstrate that our
model produces state-of-the-art results on several published datasets given
only depth images. We further study the robustness of our model towards
viewpoint, appearance, and volumetric changes. Finally, we share insights
gleaned from interpretable 2D, 3D, and 4D visualizations of our model's
spatio-temporal attention.Comment: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) 201
What-and-Where to Match: Deep Spatially Multiplicative Integration Networks for Person Re-identification
Matching pedestrians across disjoint camera views, known as person
re-identification (re-id), is a challenging problem that is of importance to
visual recognition and surveillance. Most existing methods exploit local
regions within spatial manipulation to perform matching in local
correspondence. However, they essentially extract \emph{fixed} representations
from pre-divided regions for each image and perform matching based on the
extracted representation subsequently. For models in this pipeline, local finer
patterns that are crucial to distinguish positive pairs from negative ones
cannot be captured, and thus making them underperformed. In this paper, we
propose a novel deep multiplicative integration gating function, which answers
the question of \emph{what-and-where to match} for effective person re-id. To
address \emph{what} to match, our deep network emphasizes common local patterns
by learning joint representations in a multiplicative way. The network
comprises two Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to extract convolutional
activations, and generates relevant descriptors for pedestrian matching. This
thus, leads to flexible representations for pair-wise images. To address
\emph{where} to match, we combat the spatial misalignment by performing
spatially recurrent pooling via a four-directional recurrent neural network to
impose spatial dependency over all positions with respect to the entire image.
The proposed network is designed to be end-to-end trainable to characterize
local pairwise feature interactions in a spatially aligned manner. To
demonstrate the superiority of our method, extensive experiments are conducted
over three benchmark data sets: VIPeR, CUHK03 and Market-1501.Comment: Published at Pattern Recognition, Elsevie
