Data-driven pedestrian re-identification based on hierarchical semantic representation
Limited number of labeled data of surveillance video causes the training of supervised model for pedestrian re-identification to be a difficult task. Besides, applications of pedestrian re-identification in pedestrian retrieving and criminal tracking are limited because of the lack of semantic representation. In this paper, a data-driven pedestrian re-identification model based on hierarchical semantic representation is proposed, extracting essential features with unsupervised deep learning model and enhancing the semantic representation of features with hierarchical mid-level ‘attributes’.
Firstly, CNNs, well-trained with the training process of CAEs, is used to extract features of horizontal blocks segmented from unlabeled pedestrian images. Then, these features are input into corresponding attribute classifiers to judge whether the pedestrian has the attributes. Lastly, with a table of ‘attributes-classes mapping relations’, final result can be calculated. Under the premise of improving the accuracy of attribute classifier, our qualitative results show its clear advantages over the CHUK02, VIPeR, and i-LIDS data set. Our proposed method is proved to effectively solve the problem of dependency on labeled data and lack of semantic expression, and it also significantly outperforms the state-of-the-art in terms of accuracy and semanteme
Pedestrian detection for mobile bus surveillance
In this paper, we present a system for pedestrian detection involving scenes captured by mobile bus surveillance cameras in busy city streets. Our approach integrates scene localization, foreground and background separation, and pedestrian detection modules into a unified detection framework. The scene localization module performs a two stage clustering of the video data. In the first stage, SIFT Homography is applied to cluster frames in terms of their structural similarities and second stage further clusters these aligned frames in terms of lighting. This produces clusters of images which are differential in viewpoint and lighting. A kernel density estimation (KDE) method for colour and gradient foreground-background separation are then used to construct background model for each image cluster which is subsequently used to detect all foreground pixels. Finally, using a hierarchical template matching approach, pedestrians can be identified. We have tested our system on a set of real bus video datasets and the experimental results verify that our system works well in practice.<br /
Pedestrian Attribute Recognition: A Survey
Recognizing pedestrian attributes is an important task in computer vision
community due to it plays an important role in video surveillance. Many
algorithms has been proposed to handle this task. The goal of this paper is to
review existing works using traditional methods or based on deep learning
networks. Firstly, we introduce the background of pedestrian attributes
recognition (PAR, for short), including the fundamental concepts of pedestrian
attributes and corresponding challenges. Secondly, we introduce existing
benchmarks, including popular datasets and evaluation criterion. Thirdly, we
analyse the concept of multi-task learning and multi-label learning, and also
explain the relations between these two learning algorithms and pedestrian
attribute recognition. We also review some popular network architectures which
have widely applied in the deep learning community. Fourthly, we analyse
popular solutions for this task, such as attributes group, part-based,
\emph{etc}. Fifthly, we shown some applications which takes pedestrian
attributes into consideration and achieve better performance. Finally, we
summarized this paper and give several possible research directions for
pedestrian attributes recognition. The project page of this paper can be found
