Review of Person Re-identification Techniques
Person re-identification across different surveillance cameras with disjoint
fields of view has become one of the most interesting and challenging subjects
in the area of intelligent video surveillance. Although several methods have
been developed and proposed, certain limitations and unresolved issues remain.
In all of the existing re-identification approaches, feature vectors are
extracted from segmented still images or video frames. Different similarity or
dissimilarity measures have been applied to these vectors. Some methods have
used simple constant metrics, whereas others have utilised models to obtain
optimised metrics. Some have created models based on local colour or texture
information, and others have built models based on the gait of people. In
general, the main objective of all these approaches is to achieve a
higher-accuracy rate and lowercomputational costs. This study summarises
several developments in recent literature and discusses the various available
methods used in person re-identification. Specifically, their advantages and
disadvantages are mentioned and compared.Comment: Published 201
Siamese Instance Search for Tracking
In this paper we present a tracker, which is radically different from
state-of-the-art trackers: we apply no model updating, no occlusion detection,
no combination of trackers, no geometric matching, and still deliver
state-of-the-art tracking performance, as demonstrated on the popular online
tracking benchmark (OTB) and six very challenging YouTube videos. The presented
tracker simply matches the initial patch of the target in the first frame with
candidates in a new frame and returns the most similar patch by a learned
matching function. The strength of the matching function comes from being
extensively trained generically, i.e., without any data of the target, using a
Siamese deep neural network, which we design for tracking. Once learned, the
matching function is used as is, without any adapting, to track previously
unseen targets. It turns out that the learned matching function is so powerful
that a simple tracker built upon it, coined Siamese INstance search Tracker,
SINT, which only uses the original observation of the target from the first
frame, suffices to reach state-of-the-art performance. Further, we show the
proposed tracker even allows for target re-identification after the target was
absent for a complete video shot.Comment: This paper is accepted to the IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and
